    No, seriously...I don't know. I just haven't been able to get into anything. Also I've had some pretty bad bouts of migraines lately.

    No, I am supposed to though. I haven't worn glasses in years.

    Erin, actually they got significantly worse today. I slipped on a towel someone left on the bathroom floor and smacked my head on the bathroom sink. Fifteen minutes later I almost fell out of a chair I was just sitting in. I've had crazy fuckin' headaches all day....not to mention pain in my right shoulder, back, and right hip joint.

    There's your problem. Reading without glasses when you're supposed to be using them is a surefire way to get migraines. Especially if you read at night in artificial lighting. I used to get migraines all the time, not using my glasses even though I was supposed to, and when I finally started using them again (two subscriptions later [/irresponsible]) the migraines ceeased.

    Perhaps you're right. I am prone to severe migraines anyhow though. As I recall they were worse when I wore them regularly. Still I have thought about getting them again.

    Shadows of the Empire was a fun book. Best Star Wars book I'd ever read, followed by Dark Apprentice.
