The Daily Express newspaper in England reported a few weeks back that Arsenal F.C. are apparently desperate to have striker Thierri Henri to commit his future to the north London club with the lure of a £100,000.00 a WEEK contract. Then I heard that Arsenal's cross town rival Chelsea are looking to sign Ukranian international Andriy Shevchenko from A.C. Milan for £110,000.00 a week! And lastly, Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovich is reportedly demanding £80,000.00 a week AFTER TAX to play for Chelsea! I'm speechless. I challenge anyone to justify these wages in the face of the poverty and poor quality of life found in many parts of the world today.

80K quid a week after tax?!

Need new eyes
This image of my eye was taken (for fun) by my optometrist on Friday. The middle brown part is the pupil, and it's supposed to be a complete circle, but it isn't.
The middle right part of the eye shows a black patch with a small ring of orange. That's the flash from the camera passing through the compromised iris and reflecting off the retina in the back of the eye. In any case, I got some contact lenses (I was this close to getting glasses but decided not to in the end), which will help me see a bit better from now on.
