crazy week for me. an unordered list of things:

  1. i got lasik surgery
  2. recovery from the surgery did not go as expected so i was unable to see properly for a few days.
  3. for WP development, i did a little work on DamnSexyBookmarks. eventually all my changes were merged with SexyBookmarks. dropped my fork and will continue working w/ Josh in the parent project.
  4. went to eye doctor’s a few times.
  5. played a lot of violin since i don’t need to see anything to play music.
  6. today i’m back on the internets! tho vision is still blurry like saved by the bell dream land.

thinking about life, thinking about death

over the weekend my grandmother (maamaa) was admitted into the hospital. as my brothers and i and some other family members gathered around her bed at the hospital i started wondering what she was thinking. my grandma is a very sane grandma. sometimes when i meet other people’s grandmas or run into other old ladies on the street, i think theyre a little crazy. so… knowing that she’s not crazy and she was looking at us, not understanding a single word we were saying (because we were speaking english) i wonder what she was thinking.

was she looking at her grandchildren and reflecting on her life. moving from a small village in china to new york city? she looked tired but she seemed happy. when i’m getting old and near the end of my days on earth what will i be thinking about?
