Seven 9s and 10s

Truthful Tuesday

People with good eyesight: you will never experience the indescribable terror of bending over to pull up your pants in the bathroom and then suddenly feeling your glasses sliding off your head.

People with bad eyesight who wear glasses with straight temples that don’t curve down behind the ears are probably the same kind of people who like to go BASE jumping and eat deep-fried insects and step on all of the sidewalk cracks.

While in Pittsburgh I somehow managed to scratch the shit out of the right lens on my glasses that I’ve loved for the last 3 years, and so it’s now time for a new pair.

Unfortunately, the oval-style that I’ve loved forever is no longer in vogue and the selection is mediocre at best; rather than settle for something that’s only slightly oval, I figure it’s time for a change.  These seem like a pretty fair compromise between what I’ve always worn and even-bolder (read: uglier-on-my-round-face) big black rectangles.

You all have about 4 hours to talk me out of this before I head to the mall during lunch to buy these.
