Uncharacteristic bursts of optimism and non-misanthropy

1. I had no idea until today that it is possible for opthamologists to use special cameras to take retinal photographs IN LIEU OF ADMINISTERING EYEDROPS. This is approximately the most excellent thing ever, as I cannot stand drops and am bad at putting things in my eyes.

Some of you gentle readers will point out that I wear contact lenses. Yes, well, I had to visit my opthamologist's office about six or seven different times in high school while I struggled to learn how to get the things in. I am nothing if not vain.

2. Oyamel is awesome. The guacamole and scallops in pumpkin sauce are especially heavenly, but really, it seems hard to go wrong.
