This really shouldn't become a habit

I haven't had a headache since I got the new lenses. Nor have my eyes felt dry, tired and scratchy. I hadn't realised I had become used to the latter. This is all kinds of awesome. I can put up with feeling dizzy from turning my head too fast and not being able to skim book titles in passing at the library and having to actually look at the books properly for this. And the being able to see things properly (when I look at them through the correct part of the lenses) is kinda awesome as well.

There was a neat essay on Wellington in last weeks Indulgence pull out of the Dom Post, which included the awesome line, "Friends, aquaintances, family, colleagues, strangers - the people provide the beat through Wellington's concrete veins." Something about that imagery really appeals to me. It sounds like the sort of thing that should be on the literature slabs around the waterfront.

Am currently reading in bed. I like this having a laptop business (I'm totally allowed to use it in bed if it's a weekend, right?). The music is playing on my desktop speakers, which are better than the laptop's and I can see the pretty swirly screensaver. I should install pretty swirly screensavers on Pania. Actually, that was easy - I have Vista, so done. Bubbles it is. All I could really want is a remote for itunes on Annabelle, so I can change songs without getting out of bed...

And so far, I have managed to convince my cat not to walk over it.

What's wrong with using a laptop in bed? He typed on his laptop, from bed. It's practically what they were designed for!

Oh, there's nothing wrong with it (it's not you, dear, but me, really). If I get into the habit, I'll be up until 2.00am reading every night, which is just not doable when working 8.30am - 5.00pm on work days. It's better I keep the habit of using my desktop on worknights and so having a clearly defined difference between reading and sleep. I try not to read books in bed for much the same reason, too.
