Glasses update: After lots and lots of curmudgeoning, headaching, and resisting the urge to put a little diver with a treasure chest in my room, I gave in and went to the optometrist. My glasses are apparently sitting properly now, but I'm still a little fishbowly. I'm gonna let it ride for a couple days, just in case my weird perception is less a case of "Glasses COCKEYED" and more my brain going "OMGWTF what have you done *now*?" Actually, I think right now it's a case of the latter, as I'm starting to get used to them, which is a good thing.

Potatobob update: As I was watering plants today, I leaned over and got a whiff of something slightly rancid coming from Potatobob. I'm not quite sure what I was smelling, if it was just your average solanaceous plant smell (as they can be rather pungent), or if it's a sign that Potatobob is slowly turning to the Dark Side. I'm hoping it's the former, as I'd rather not have to get rid of Potatobob. As of right now, though, the smell isn't really bad, so I'm going to let it ride, and hope that it sorts itself out.

It's definitely growing, though. I think maybe this week I'll take pictures of Potatobob to show. <3 <3 <3

just to let you know, leaving even incorrect glasses on will become adjusted to. my one bio prof told us about a time when someone did an experiment with prism glasses. they wore them all day for 1 day. the prism caused everything to appear upsidedown. the next day, when the person woke up, everything looked normal thru the glasses - the brain corrected for the upsidedown view. :D but, when the glasses were off, the world looked upsidedown again. haha. it took another day for the person's eyes to revert back to right-side-up again.
as for potatobob, rotting potatos smell AWFUL! inspect him closely for rot. maybe you've been overwatering bob. i hope he's okay.
