Tiny Eyes

Filed under: — Aprille @ 4:26 pm

I just found this cool website: Tiny Eyes. You can upload a photo and it simulates what a newborn, 4-week, 8-week, 3-month, and 6-month old baby would see. I think it’s awfully scientific or something.

The results are…a bit depressing.

The lower image is what 4-week-old would see. I’m just a blob of white (this is also sort of how I felt in Puerto Rico). At least Denny shows up a little because he has darker eyebrows.

The good news: no reason to bother wearing makeup for like 6 months at least.

It was a young Josh Brolin.

Do you remember that scene in The Goonies where Corey Feldman is listing all the cool things they should be doing, and then he finishes by saying, “But noooooooo!  Someone’s older brother had to screw it up.  Flunking your driver’s test?”

I’ve seen that movie about six thousand times, so I have the intonation of “But nooooooo!” cemented firmly in my mind.  If you, too, can recall it with very little effort, I invite you do so as you read the following:

I have had a very busy, stressful day at work.  We just finished a big upgrade on my project, and of course there were a thousand little things that didn’t go quite perfectly, so I’ve been scrambling around trying to get them tidied up before too many people complain.  It hasn’t been terrible or anything—nobody ate my lunch or mocked my ancestry—just busy and tiring.  This is the kind of day where, upon returning home, I would really enjoy going down to the basement, picking out one of the several lovely  bottles of wine in our wine rack, and pouring myself a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

“But noooooooo!”

(It’s really okay.  I can handle it.  I mostly just wanted a Corey Feldman quote somewhere in my blog.)
