August 2008
I swear, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Roughly a month ago, my eyes started to really go berserk and I went and had some tests done and everything, but things have been getting really bad. I definitely can’t wear my contacts anymore; I can only have them in for a couple of hours and my eyes start to go buggy and I get bad headaches. I’ve been sticking with glasses, because when I need to read something close, I can usually just lift them up and read it. Now, I can barely see stuff close when lifting up my glasses, and if I try to wear glasses and see it, I have to hold it too far away before it’s actually in focus. It’s crazy. I don’t even know if any of that makes sense. I can’t really…look at screens of any kind for more than an hour now, too, without getting a headache or my vision going blurry, and even when I stop and just try to go do other things, my vision stays blurry for a long time. I finally go for surgery relatively soon (September 24, I think). Not laser…corrective surgery, but surgery on the muscle of my right eye. So my vision will still suck afterwards, but I just won’t have an occasional lazy eye and double vision. As someone who uses computers a lot for both work and leisure, it’s very frustrating, and kind of frightening, too.
Animation-wise, I’m going to hopefully finish up that Mega Man tribute video either tomorrow or the next day (depending on how much I can do at a time). I also got a homebrew DS cart thing and put both a storyboarding and an animation applications on there. I tested out the animation today, but unfortunately, I started…not saving often, so the last few seconds of the animation were lost. But you can see it here if you want.
Someone has finally put what I’ve been thinking for a long time into words.
