Mar. 10th, 2010 12:17 pmDefinitely of the zombified today. We haven't had a band night like that in a while (considering I haven't been for a couple of weeks due to counselling aftermath especially).
I'm also wearing my glasses due to my lack of buying contact lenses yet and my eyes basicallly going "Screw that" by the end of last night and demanding I trash the ones I'd been wearing for far too long. So far the responses have been that I look like:
1) Ghandi.
2) A librarian.
Yeah, so, guess who's going to be looking at new glasses after pay day next week? [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], love, your tasteful opinion (and working vision) will be requred in order to nail it down out of the four we chose last time. I'll even make sure my hair is decent this time.

Having Lauren help me find a pair of hot ones is a step towards accepting the whole bespectacled thing.
Also, I have health insurance. Yay for having a good percentage of the cost covered!

I'm also thinking, frameless glasses (http://www.geekeyeglasses.com/bvlgari-eyeglasses/bvlgari-1011t-eyeglasses-are-like-lenses-on-a-stick) might really work on you, since they're almost not there so the visual effect of them is limited. (But maybe not that exact pair - the lenses are too large.)
And, if it helps, people really think glasses are awesometown at the moment, so there's this move for people who CAN see without them but could use a very minor script to get them, as well, because they look good.

But yeah, really sick of them now and I'd like the option of being able to wear them when my eyes are too whatever for contacts without looking like an old bald man in a nappy. ;)

Date: 2010-03-10 09:52 pm (UTC)I completely understand that, by the way - I'm only getting new glasses this year because my script has changed enough that I really, really shouldn't be driving in my sunglasses - they're quite possibly three scripts out of date by now and they wanted $170 for new lenses in the old frames so I decided that I could do another $30 and got a 2 pairs for $199 deal where they somehow do it all massively discounted.
I think that if I wore contacts or didn't need a new script every year anyway, I'd be less willing to get new ones ever 18 months.
