But nothing has moved my spirit since I saw you late last year

Here are my old glasses:




New glasses, which are extremely similar to my old glasses, except the arms are metal:




New glasses with ambervision goggles on top:


(they look better with my bike helmet on!)


New prescription sunglasses, just picked up an hour ago:



(I didn't realize until after I uploaded how purple the tint seems in this picture. They are actually more blue. Also hilarious to me is my unconscious ability to make the exact same lopsided half-grin at all times.)


Sadly, it is a cloudy day in Chicago. I of course drove home in them anyway, to help with "glare". I intentionally got the tint fairly light, since I'm used to not wearing sunglasses, my eyes will appreciate any darkening, but also when I'm going in and out of places, I won't be as blind indoors so I don't have to constantly switch out. Don't worry, this doesn't mean I'll be wearing my prescription sunglasses to work. Although, those fluorescent lights can be rather harsh....



DYA left this morning to visit her brother in California for the weekend. I have big plans involving marathon writing sessions, finishing thebrownhornet's manuscript, some seasonal household chores like taking out the a/c units, airing out down comforters, and repotting plants to bring indoors. But somewhere in there will also be a 30 Rock marathon.

powerful?? thank you. i almost didn't buy them because right after i tried them on, 12 teen age asian girls came into the shop and tried on those exact frames. and gemstelar was there and she was like are you suuure you want to get those after that?? so i waited. and a week later i went back and bought them. oh and that was at camden market. super cheap. well, as in cheap for london. not at a 'proper' eyeglass shop.

also, aw, cmon. i never owned the clear frame style!
