It's a conspiracy I tells you!

So I've been feeling quite headachey and dumb for the last few days, and to deal with this have
(a) been trying to avoid talking to anyone on the internet for fear of saying something monumentally tactless (unfortunately I'm not always smart enough to remember how dumb I am...)
(b) Been trying to avoid doing anything which strains my eyes, ie surfing the internet, watching anime, playing th DS etc. ie everything I feel like doing.

Yesterday I had a brain wave: didn't MacOs have a text reading utility? I could get it to read me fanfic!
( But of course life is never that simple... )
