ConQuest Day 3
May. 30th, 2004 08:03 pmThis has been a hard convention on my glasses.
Last night, as we were finally packing everything up to head back to Travis's to sleep, I yanked the plug-in of my computer out of the wall a bit hard, and it flew up and hit me in the face...knocking a chip out of my left glasses lens. This quite annoyed me, as the white dot was just floating there in front of my vision...I resolved to see about getting the glasses replaced when I get back down to Springfield.
Well, the good news is, that chip now is almost unnoticeable...the bad news is, that the way it's almost unnoticeable is in comparison to what I did to the glasses this afternoon. While I was at the John Ringo reading, I pulled a 3M cleaning cloth out of my pocket to tidy up the glasses...and apparently it had something embedded in it, because after I had wiped it all around, my glasses looked like I'd scribbled on them with a ball-point pen. I scratched the anti-reflective coating all to heck. Very annoying.
Anyway, this morning
tbutler and I got up and headed downtown to get to the area of the convention and meet
dvandom for lunch before he headed back out of town. We lunched at a Planet Sub location near the hotel and talked about various things. Very, very good lunch; I wish Planet Sub would expand down to Springfield. Beats Subway all to heck.
