The best thing showed up in the post yesterday; a copy of all of them with teeth: monster hymns and sermons by Little Light. Ever since someone first showed me the seam of skin and scales and it just reached in and grabbed me with an almighty 'hell yeah!' I've been utterly loving on her writing. So having some of it in chapbook/zine printed format is made of win and awesome.

In other news, this week I actually hit the point of being short-sighted enough to want to do something about it when I realised that my facebook status was uncomfortably blurry. Upon getting my fuzzy little ass to Boots, I discovered that eye tests are faster, more fun and more sophisticated than they used to be when I was younger. I also discovered that the staff at my nearest Boots Opticians are friendly, professional and (in the case of the guy who helped me try on umpteen thousand frames while we picked out the right ones together) have great customer manners and the patience of saints.

I should have a couple of pairs of deeply funky glasses in a week and a bit, and will be sure to get in the way of a camera once they arrive so I can show you all. I'm mostly just looking forward to looking at stuff with them on - it was quite the revelation how far and how clearly I could see.

The other exciting bit of human enhancement I have coming up now is the acquisition of a cyborg tooth! The gap that my poor wee babby tooth gave up the ghost in six months ago (it almost made it into my thirties. A pretty good innings I think?) is going to be fitted with a rather impressive/amusing titanium spike and capped, filling in the gap in my molars with a pretty little piece of ceramic biting gear. I am rather looking forward to this .

Off to sneak in a shower before work now, I need to see if I can buy enough time to succeed in my quest for a pair of un-laddered tights before 9am .
