Well, looking over this and that in an attempt to get ready to get back to NYU...

[ink_n_imp]

On top of comtemplating saying "fuck it!" to having most college type supplies and dorm tpye things and just making do with just a suitcase, my glasses were chewed to bits by muneybags6's puppy, thereby ending an otherwise awesome day of beach, seeing Snakes on a Plane, and midnight swimming on a less than stellar note. Snakes on a plane, man.

Now I have to get to Costco at some point and buy a new pair of glasses, though today I FINALLY was able to pop the lens back into the frame, so if I look around the huge fucking stratches, some semblance of sight is obtainable. On that note, driving whilst glasses-less? Fucking terrifying, more so than you would think. I hadn't realized how shitty my eyesight was until I had to drive home in the dark on a road I've driven thousands times. Terrifying to the point I should just write a screen play for a horror movie using that premise. A short film, maybe, with some blurry shots once the glasses are eaten. It could either be totally obnoxious, or totally terrifying. Or you know what, fuck the movie idea. let's do a video game of it. The sick love child of Resident Evil and Silent Hill with corrective eye wear.

Oh, and for something completely different, I was looking over my old Italian books--I am So. Screwed. My reading comprehension is still decent, but I tried to write a response and...*cries* Oh vocabulary, why!? Why did I let you slip through my fingers?

Taking Italian this semester is going to be painful. I just...*cries*

LOVE this idea. How 'bout each time you get hit, you lose vision points, and the screen gets progressively blurrier. Oh and to gain vision points, you find contact lenses (singles, not in pairs! ha ha!) and various forms of eyewear along the way, ranging from standard wire-rims to aviators to contraptions from the Elton John collection (points for these will vary depending on garishness).

heh, I was thinking can hold up the broken glasses to her eyes at certain points, but there's like, a glasses meter where the more she fiddles with them the more they break. Or, if she's holding up the glasses she can't be holding any defensive weapons or something. oh, and her eyesight totally doesn't match, so if something fucks with her good eye, she's even worse off. Or, if she loses the lens of the good eye, even with the glasses on she'll see double vision. (Which SUCKED, btw). And then, of course there would be like a "bravery" meter or something, where if you see some creepy/weird thing, you have to have a certain amount of "bravery" in order to approach it to check it out. So, say you run across a dark house, and you want to run up to it to ask for help, but there's this shadowy dark figure type thing on the porch and it looks like its moving...well, depending on how freaked out your character is will decide if she goes up or not.

And then there can be a crack mission level that has the "find a new pair of glasses!".

Dude. this game would rock.

Yeah, I probably should have treated you like a drunk, taken your keys, and force-driven you home. Instead I only suggestively offered, and much like a a wife trying to calm her alcohalic husband, got knocked down.
