So I went to my eye doctor and he popped the contact right out and I felt stupid. I asked him if it was the new brand of contacts, and he said no, it just happens to people sometimes, but I think he's full of it because I've worn contacts like 8 years now and that's never happened to me before.
I also went and did my exchanges at Best Buy. I got the proper Franz Ferdinand, but got a gift card in lieu of the proper Coheed & Cambria DVD. First off, we couldn't find the Co & Ca DVD, but secondly: after watching Ben Folds & WASO live in perth yesterday, I am now re-invigorated in my belief that I do not like concert DVD's.
Also: I've decided Fall Out Boy is just what I needed, no matter how crappy it is. I was explaining it to people last night, how to me a crappy emo CD is like, junk food or a stupid movie. I realize it's not Creme Brulee or Citizen Kane, but sometimes my brain needs to rest. Which, I think mine does. I think with music I've been having the same problem I have had with not wanting to read lately, because I've been listening to all this great complex stuff that takes me forever to fully get into, and it's a lot of work. Whereas Fall Out Boy: it's pretty much all there right up front, and sure you get tired of it quickly, but it's something fun to cleanse your palate with. So I suspect I will be writing Fall Out Boy a fan letter that goes something like, "Thank you for sucking so much. If you weren't so homogenous, you would be of no use to me. Keep up the crappy work!"
