I don’t think these pictures really do them justice, but I got my new glasses today.
My old glasses — I’ve had these for years now. They worked well when I was younger and needed something to give my face some depth, but as I’ve aged, they’ve come to dominate my face rather than accent it. So, on the advice of a few people and the assistance of Prairie, I found something smaller and less domineering.
So here’s the new pair. Much smaller, lighter, and totally rimless — with the anti-glare coating they’ve got, they’re almost invisible. Incredibly light, too, I’m still marveling at how much heavier the old ones feel now.

Even better, these come with little clip-on shades that match the shape of the lenses perfectly. For the first time in ages, I’ll actually have sunglasses — we occasionally tried to get me prescription glasses when I was younger, but they’d invariably disappear after only a few weeks, and it quickly became apparent that that was just an unfortunate waste of money. It’s going to be very nice to be able to go outside without squinting.
So, that’s my excitement for the day — that, and picking up Star Wars on DVD. Okay, yeah, I’m still a little miffed at Lucas for not releasing the original Original Trilogy, but I — along with many other people — grew up on these films. I just couldn’t talk myself out of picking them up.

I agree, I like the new glasses.
I just picked up my DVD’s
. Now I have 4 sets of the original movies. The real originals on VHS, the two types of extended versions (Widescreen and normal) and now the DVD’s.
I love your new glasses.
whoah, loved them so much I had to post it twice.
Michael - the new glasses look great, you’ve got a great face and a great smile and the new glasses serve to accentuate the positive qualities of your visage - congratulations. Look forward to seeing you in person again sometime.
Hey dude, lookin good! Similar to the change I made a while back, but mine are too high a perscription to get the frameless (or so they told me). Good look!
The new glasses look much better!
Looking good!
The new glasses are definitely an improvement!
Wow, what an improvement the new glasses are!
And as for the DVDs… I’m waiting a bit until I pick them up. My roommate bought it yesterday so I can watch his copy… And then when Lucas releases the “Super ultra directors cut” sextilogy of all 6 movies down the road, I can just snag that (since I haven’t bought Ep 1 or 2 on dvd yet either, and I think I’m the only person in the world who actually ENJOYED those movies
)
Not to be deliberately insulting, but my God, those old glasses look awful!
Pimpin
And you’ve grown hair as well
New glasses are much better.
Looks nice, kiddo. (I like the hair, too.)
Nice glasses - are they Joseph Abboud? If so, we’ve got the same ones….
Good call, Skeptic — they are indeed! Obviously, you’ve got impeccable taste.
I love them!
