better, stronger, faster

I am a cyborg now.

In the least dramatic way possible (during cataract surgery they implant a new corrective lens to replace the cataract-y old one) but nevertheless, a cyborg.

I can see much, much better out of my right eye. The other one is still crap (and before the surgery it used to be my "good eye"!), but I'll get surgery on that one in the next few months. In the meantime, I still have much improved vision overall. And I've got colors back, yay! Everything had been very dull, hazy, and yellowed.

In other news, the Good Omens miniseries is mostly great (I like it better than the book in some ways, not all to do with Aziraphale/Crowley). Has anybody else watched it yet?

I've only managed to watch the first episode so far, but I liked it over all and am looking forward to having time to watch more.

Mazel tov! I'm so glad the surgery did what it was supposed to.

I have not yet seen Good Omens, but would love to read what you think of it.

Congratulations on becoming a cyborg. Our hope is that when the revolution comes, you will spare is meatbags for your own entertainment.

Yay for cyborg vision!

Go cyborg life! I think everyone I’ve ever met who has had cataract surgery says that their good eye wasn’t so good after all!

Just watched and loved the first episode of Good Omens - liked everything except possibly the voiceover, I’m still torn on that.

ETA: I love Michael Sheen's Aziraphale in particular - he really gets the affection and intelligence behind the fussy exterior.

Yay! I am so glad it went well!

We're one episode into Good Omens, and I love so much about it. David Tennant and Michael Sheen are having the best time and it's lovely.

Huzzah for cyborg vision!

I fully love Good Omens. More or less completely for the Aziraphale/Crowley bits (it's been a long time since I read the book but I enjoyed the Adam-as-Just-William-AU element so much, which I don't think makes it onto screen - to be fair the style of Just William really never makes it onto screen, it's so narrator-voice-ish). Tennant and Sheen are clearly 100% into it as a Romance Thing and although, yes, I would have loved a handhold or something at the end just to provide an emotional climax, the more I rewatch it (on my third time through) the more I see of the depth their performances bring to the emotional journey of each moment, such that dining at the Ritz is practically NSFW... Or nearly, anyway *g* Aziraphale as a character hits me so square on the id it's ridiculous.

I want so much backstory about Aziraphale and his 'discreet gentleman's club' and his role as a bookseller in Soho over the years.
