"defy laws of nature"

[retro_eidas]

....So says the Flexon ad of my particular model of glasses. Do they "defy nature"? Hardly. I got them because I'm not exactly the most graceful person in the world and these wire frames (yeah, I know) were supposedly able to resist a lot of abuse ... I've had them for about seven months and the bridge snapped like a little twig today. Bu-bye $240. ::tries not to toss desk chair out the window relieving frustrations:: I think I've had it with wire frames. Maybe it's about time I went down the trendier road with the dark, plastic frames?

Why haven't I gotten Lasic surgery yet? Oh yeah. Because I'm a chickenshit. I'll have to ask myself that question again after I drop a few hundred more dollars on supposedly indestructible, super-flexible frames.

Really, just being able to go to sleep without having to take your glasses off

Or forgetting to take them off at all... which contributed to why I went to the optometrist to renew my RX this morning. Meh.

I can foresee the benefits of Lasic... I just need to get over that whole chickenshit / fear-of-potential-blindness thing(s).

btw, Are you enjoying the Montreal autumn? ;)
