I wish I could say this story surprised me.

Mundine's left eye, operated on last week, reportedly became infected over the weekend after he removed a protective contact lens at a restaurant and cleaned it with his mouth.

But, having worked in the contact lens industry, I'm not in the least surprised. Any time you look at complication rates for contact lens wear, just remember that those figures are averages that include people who follow the instructions (at least mostly) and those who missed learning about the germ theory of disease.

Parcel!

We got a big parcel from Rey's brother in Japan today...

I now have my very own copy of The Calamari Wrestler. Be very afraid.
