Nay, I already did that.
To give you a pointlessly detailed description, I orginally thought up what could happen at the end of the very last chapter and thought that was a passable idea (I have ideas all the time and obviously I never actually do them). Then for some reason I ended up sitting down and writing out the story for 14 hours a day for two weeks, with to prior plot or vague idea of where it was going.
Then I went back and looked at it and realised it was clinically unfunny, so i'm having to think up jokes. I did put a chapter up somewhere....

photochromatic lenses (or 'Reactions' in specsaver speak) might be worth considering
but one potential drawback is making any excess light sensitivity worse because they will always react (albeit not fully) to marginally increased light levels
I get by with normal glasses, but use (daily) disposable contact lenses (I have a minor astigmatism, but normal [non-toric] lenses produce a good enough correction) whenever I need to wear sunglasses (usually when sea kayaking).
If I ever wanted to do the ladeez-who-lunch thing and sit in the sun guzzling lattes during my lunch break, then I would probably get prescription sunglasses. I'm not a woman though, so that isn't really a problem :P
Oh, and daily disposable lenses are usually thin/moist enough to last an entire working day; if you go for monthly ones, then you might end up with dry eyes and need glasses as a back up etc.

I thought that too
but it isn't an issue with daily lenses; you bin them so is there no chance for anything (bugs, protein deposits etc.) to build up on them.
also (according to the last optician/dispensing optician I asked about this), sea water is less likely to contain anything nasty than (untreated) fresh water; it's more sterile apparently.

kayaking with contacts
I used to do it all the time. The only risk is that if you go through rapids or down a fall and you don't close your eyes in time and get a face full of water, they may get washed up to the top of your eyes. Don't worry though, they drift back down shortly after. I developed the habit of doing rapids with one eye only slightly open, so if the fully open one got the lens washed up I could still see out of one eye.

I like it, A LOT
But everytime I minimised my windows it just looked really bleak due to mostly being washed out clouds, and the impact was lost with icons on it.
I'd love to see it on a big canvas on my wall (high ceilings and not much to fill the space right now) if it could stand that kind of amplification, I'm a real sucker for pictures that give me that tingly 'more than the sum of its parts' feeling, but using it as a wallpaper felt like making the sexy lady cover up
They were not composed altogether of flesh and blood.
They had shape...but that shape was not made of matter. When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Them Which makes them very irritable and thirsty after countless aeon's

There was a theory kicked around a few years ago that garfield is funnier if Garfield himself does not speak
this was funny at the time. Then someone ripped off the idea saying that Garfield is funnier if you completely remove Garfield from the strips.
The motivation for this is probably to raise some ad revenue for someone's blog by creating a few examples and posting on Digg and Reddit, and fishing for people that haven't hear the theories before.
Anyways, since that happened, its been a recurring and easy to mash up meme.

Excellent!
re: floor space, I really don't know yet. In theory there will be but I might not be a first come first served approach this year as I've had a few careful requests that would enable people to actually attend the bash!
I'll stick info up on the calendar page as soon as we sort it out though :)
