The nice people over at Momselect sent me e-mail letting me know that BLOCKBUSTER has a dvd kiosk rental system very similar to Redbox and it’s only $1 rentals per night. Not to shabby. You can rent it online and then go and pick it up just like Redbox too.I think they have a better selection of new releases then redbox though. They also sent me a rent one get one coupon that unfortunately I’m unable to use. (MAKE SURE YOU FIND A KIOSK NEAR YOU FIRST) The closest kiosk to me is like out in New Braunfels (a good 50 to 60 mile drive). That and I’m a satisfied netflix user so it’s kinda lost on me. However that doesn’t mean that you guys aren’t looking for an easy way to rent a movie.
I can pass along the code as well so I thought I would go ahead and share it with all of you. It expires on the 31st of this month so hurry up and use it! I highly recommend New Moon too or Princess and the Frog (that’s going in Vera’s Easter basket ^_^…she loved watching it in theater).
*Code is valid thru 3/31/2010. When you rent a movie at the regular price, you’ll receive the first night’s rental on the second movie FREE. Extra night charges and taxes apply. Limit one per customer. May not be combined with any other offer. Rental terms and conditions apply. Not valid at Blockbuster store locations.

Murphy’s law, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”, has always heavily applied to my life lol. I mean who gets a hole in their eye?! Well, I do. For example I routinely get a mole removed, and after 10 WHOLE DAYS of being stitched up it reopens. The nurse who checked the wound after removing the stitches was baffled when told that it reopened. This was a recent accident in my life that I’m comfortable talking about. Some I’m not so comfortable with blogging about. My life is awkward and filled with mishaps. I could give you several more examples, but it just so happens you don’t want to read a 10 page equivalent blog post now do you? I think my blog alone is a great testament to the huge black hole that I am. SO Going to the eye Dr. for my yearly check-up only to have my eyes dilated for the first time and then low and behold there is a hole in my eye somehow didn’t surprise me in the slightest sadly. I believe my response was “OH, of course there is a hole in my eye….”. It did however scare the shit out of me.
On to the hole in my eye.
Apparently because the shape of my eyes, VERY long (weird, I know), and because I am SEVERELY nearsighted (if the world were to face doomsday tomorrow and my glasses or contacts were destroyed I may as well give up and die that’s how bad my vision is….I’d never survive) I am prone to develop HOLES in my eye’s retina. Also I’m prone to retina detachment. Yes it is as scary as it sounds. Just the word detachment in the same sentence as a part of my eye makes me what to throw up what I ate for dinner.
The Retina specialist that I saw was extremely nice, and it felt like I sat through a science class learning about my hole and what not. I had to go through an excoriating test where I had to have an additional numbing eye drop besides the one to dilate my eyes and they used an extremely bright light to look into my eyes to see the hole better. The Dr. said it’s not an emergency, but eventually if left alone the hole would indeed detach my retina. He said we could either see each other every six months and chance me experiencing a “bright light” and then being blind which then would require a surgery I don’t even want to re-explain it scared me so bad OR I could have laser surgery to weld the hole shut. Yeah…I think I’ll go with option B. Right now I’m in a statistic of 1 out of 10 experiencing a retinal detachment(hate using that term) to a 1 out of a 1,000. I think I like the later odds better.
I’m not to sure about laser surgery though. Everything was explained to be and it all sounds unbearable extremely safe. When a Dr. tells you, “I’m not going to sugar coat it and act like it’s not painful…” you know you are in for a heck of a ride. He described it as the worst brain freeze ever. Not sure how I’m feeling about that. It doesn’t sound to bad it just sounds really trippy. Since it’s not an emergency even though I feel like it kind of is they scheduled my surgery for the 6th. I almost wish they had done it then because now I have time to think about it and worry wither I’ll see the “flash of light” informing me the retina detached before the surgery.
I could use a “hole” lot of support on this post. If you’ve never commented now is the time lol.
