weekend

[jazzfish]

Spent Satyrday as a nothing day, because there were no better ideas to be had. Got a wedding present for Not-Matt and Kate, and got penicillin for my tooth and a new nosepad for my sunglasses (polarised sunglasses _rock_. they are the coolest thing i have seen in ages), and then we sat down and watched the last four (out of five) episodes of _The 10th Kingdom_.
It was cute, I'm glad I saw it, and I'll probably watch it again at some point, but it wasn't great by any means. (It was a miniseries that NBC(?) did sometime early last year I think, about a fantasy world nextdoor to NYC where fairy tales came from. And it had Rutger Hauer and John Larroquette. It was also 7.5hrs long.)
I have not been such a bum in ages. It was nice.
Sunday we went and gamed... I got some more definition to my character (always a plus).
Today has been rather bleh. The RITboys haven't shown up yet, so Jeff and I are pretty much just bumming about, doing scutwork because it needs to be done. I do _not_ relish trying to write help files for this piece of %&$... when Mikayla suggested that Tom the RITboy have an interface-freeze next Monday so we can take screenshots for help, he invoked the Technicon Fallacy by saying CENSORED. Grr.

Polarized sunglasses..

You'd never seen those before?

Just never bothered to get my own. I'd seen Emily's, but never actually used them for any length of time.

Getting new sunglasses is a pain anyway, because normal ones don't fit around my head properly, and the ones that do won't sit right on my ears. I got lucky with this pair... it required minimal rebending.

Well, for me, getting sunglasses is a pain cuz I wear glasses. :)
So I can choose to not see clearly, or bear with bright light.. (I have a pair of sunglasses that fit over my current frames, but they still look lame. I'm considering contacts, but they're much higher maintenance than glasses..)

my aunt has a spiffy pair of glasses that have magnetized sunglass lenses that fit on the end of the temples. they look neat.

The problem, of course, is that glasses and sunglasses are designed entirely differently, aesthetically..

she has wireframe oval glasses. the sunglasses aren't quite as effective as say, wraparound ones would be, but i've seen sunglasses for sale with a similar design to her glasses.

Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that sunglasses should exist with a style like those of glasses.. :)

man, i _so_ recommend contacts. they changed my life.
seriously, though, contacts are in general a Good Thing, and you stop noticing the extra maintenance after a couple weeks.

Re: Polarized sunglasses..

That, and I personally think I look better with glasses than without..

contact lenses

Awww, skreidle, you're just being a wimp. Having peripheral vision is better than just about anything else. I promise. It fascinated me constantly for the first couple of weeks. I'd tell people to walk by, just so I could watch them out of the corner of my eye and actually be able to tell who they were...
And I've got a kick-ass pair of red sunglasses that were only $5 at Ragstock. Ah, ragstock, one of the jewels of the Midwest....

(And yes, I got this account just so I could post to your #$%%#@ journal. (Not Tucker's -- he didn't make me. He's nice.) Are you happy now?Hmm?)

*purr*!

A Steph with a journal! Yay!

That's why I originally made a journal, too--so I could post to Joanna's journal without it being anonymous.

And now I've posted 322 journal entries, 575 comments, and received 433. It'll suck you in, I tell ya.

As for glasses/contacts, yeah, I've been considering contacts for a good while now, and it's actually more of the "I think I look better with glasses, and so do some other people, particularly several girls I've talked to" than the maintenance issue..
