Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Well the toric lens fixed my astigmatism, but they gave me a different brand of contact, and this time my eyes were bloodshot and felt like sandpaper like 4 hours later. Will let my eyes heal and try again in a couple days, but not really optimistic, might be sticking with glasses. :p

I know this pain ... when I tried them I pretty much ran out of the office I could not stand looking at my finger going into my eye ... freaked me out to the point where I just keep my glasses when I need them

I went to the eye doctor last Monday and got a fitment for contacts. I have an astigmatism in my right eye, but they wanted me to try regular contacts. Same thing happened last time I tried contacts (3 years ago) and it turned me off to them entirely. I'm going back in this morning though to get fitted for a toric lens instead of just giving up, because I would love to be able to wear cheap sunglasses this summer!

Good luck with the lenses. I've been wearing mine for like two or maybe three years? I forget that I need glasses for reading!

When I first started wearing contacts, it would take me over 30 minutes each time to put them in because I couldn't stand putting my finger in my eye. It didn't take long to get over it. I can't wear them anymore because they dry my eyes out too much...

Game of Thrones is excellent :) The books are amazing, and the TV show is great as well! Anyone else watch the show?

Finally, a little tidbit I thought you all might be interested in:
ZeroLemon Galaxy Nexus 5900 mAh Extended Battery

My cousin got ZeroLemon's extended battery for the SGS3 (7000 mAh :eek:) and it's done wonders for his battery life - check it out! Seriously considering getting the GNex model!
 
I see people starting to talk about new phones, the way they did about the Droid X. I guess the gnex is becoming a oooold man. :p

I like the show a lot, but some of the differences from the books bother me. I haven't sat down to watch any of this season yet, though. And I really didn't like book 4 at all, especially coming off of how good book 3 was. The newest book is good but considering how long it took to come out, I was still disappointed.
 
Game of Thrones is more or less fantasy, right?
If so, I've really no interest. Can't stand LOTR. Tried to watch it a couple times but just bores me to death. :o

So, what type of tv show/movie has your interest?
Sons of Anarchy?

Don't watch too many shows. I love The Daily Show and Colbert since I'm a politics junkie and other than that, usually food related stuff. :)
Also, anything comedy related (Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, Bob's Burgers).
Movie wise, just about anything except fantasy. I can do sci-fi for the most part though. Wife is the one who loves fantasy and is a lot of the books she reads.
 
Good Morning all, RL has been keeping me busy but i have been trolling. Wow, what a wet and cool spring we have had, here it is May 7 and we are still struggling to get past 70. The ocean is cooler than usual, that might not be a bad thing when hurricane season starts June 1. Have a great Tuesday!
 
By the way, just to follow up on my previous post - the ZeroLemon extended battery has an NFC chip as well. Puts it above lots of other batteries IMO.

Yes, it's fantasy, but it's pretty different than LOTR. LOTR is the quintessential example of what's known as "high fantasy" - fantastical creatures, magic, a focus on one or a small group of protagonists and their singular struggle against a force of evil.

Game of Thrones is closer to "Sword and sorcery" fantasy, although it contains certain elements of high fantasy as well. Game of Thrones has constantly shifting viewpoints; rather than one main character (ie. Bilbo, Frodo) it has a huge cast, it gives you different viewpoints of the events of the books and adds a very interesting depth of perspective. However, there's really very little of the "sorcery" part present. Game of Thrones is very gritty fantasy - battles, battles, and more battles; court politics, intrigue, backstabbing, plots, and lots of character development. The characters in LOTR hardly ever change, their alignments are set and we don't get much in the way of development, with of course the notable exception of Frodo fighting the influence of the Ring. Game of Thrones has the most character development of any series I've ever read, and I've read a lot of fantasy. There's storylines upon storylines taking place all over the world that the author created, it doesn't focus on just one group of characters. It's about as different from LOTR as you can get while still being called fantasy. It's getting more and more mainstream acceptance, so it's definitely not just for fantasy readers. I'd really recommend it - why not try watching an episode or two of the show and see if it draws you in?
 
Saw, Splay. Interesting.
Just loaded up the latest Paranoid with HALO. Pretty cool. Trying Pie controls again for the first time in forever. Only notification I'd really like is a battery percent. Emailed Roman (dev for Dash Clock) to see if he could add a battery notification to that widget. Would be nice to have for the lockscreen. ROM has been a little buggy though. Already froze up twice (after a complete wipe before loading, didn't restore anything with TiBu).
 
Well, grabbed a deal on a refurbished 32GB Nexus 7, $129 plus tax after rebate. So I'll be back in the Nexus game once it arrives. :)

Morning all!
 
Yeah was tiger direct. Pretty happy about it, I missed my tablet for sure. I will be getting a different case with corner protection this time!
