Last night one of the lenses of my glasses popped out while I was cleaning them. (Not even the lens I was cleaning; the other one. The one I wasn't even touching.) I had my brother pop it back in for me and carried on. An hour later it popped out again, this time when I wasn't even doing anything. So I took my glasses off, put them away, and carried on without them after complaining a bit - after all, I've only had these glasses for like a week, so that definitely shouldn't be happening.

Today I was abruptly woken up from a strange but pleasant dream by someone honking shave and a haircut on the front lawn in front of my window. That someone was (unsurprisingly) my dad. So I stumbled out of the house and talked to him for a bit, then made my brother get up and talk to him so I didn't have to. Eventually I properly got up and got a shower and got dressed and all that stuff, only to be dragged out to Sunnyvale with my mum. Fortunately on the way back we stopped by Sears so that I could get my glasses fixed. The guy there restrung them and cleaned them (always nice) and now they're good as new.

So! Now that my glasses are fully functional again I should be taking the time to continue reading Atlas Shrugged. (I am not going to talk about Atlas Shrugged other than to say that I have very complicated feelings about it.) Naturally, I'm going to celebrate my newly fixed glasses with some Mass Effect. (Really, there's no contest. Read Atlas Shrugged < Mass Effect. Potentially somewhere between $50 and $10,000 for college < Mass Effect. I don't even have to think about it.)

Does normal difficulty in ME1 change your squadmates' AI from "reasonably intelligent" to "really dumb" or something? That's the only reason I can come up with for why Garrus and Wrex stood in front of Fist's turrets until they died. You guys are supposed to kill stuff for me because I'm too used to ME2 controls and can't aim for crap in this game, not get yourselves killed and make me do all the work! D:

And then they died on my way out of Chora's Den, too, so I decided maybe it would be better for my blood pressure if I just read a book. And since there's only one book I can reach out and grab without having to get up, I guess I'm reading Atlas Shrugged. /:
