Oh, the birthdays don't stop...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY khames!!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful artist! We miss you here in LJ-world. *hugs* I hope your day is great!

So. Eyeglasses.

I went to the eye doctor yesterday. They took pictures of my retinas, which remind me of egg yolks. Egg yolk galaxies. Something like that. Anyway, I decided I wanted new frames, and picked through what they had. The salesguy recommended me three pairs which looked horrible--I kept explaining that I have a huge round head, and that any pair of glasses whose ear pieces have to flex outward when I wear them is a no-no. (It looks comical. Seriously. I sometimes have to pick men's glasses because they're wider.)

Anyway, lo and behold, he hands me a pair which were awesome. (They turned out to be unisex.) What I was looking for was something unusual, something that would look great but was worlds away from what I wear now. I liked them so much that I bought them, and will get them in two weeks. They are Dolce & Gabbana frames. He pronounced it "dohls," but that matters little, because I have awesome frames. I was hoping to get something in the warm gold/chocolate style but ended up going with pinky-red/brushed steel. Anyway, I think they're pretty great, but honestly, I don't really know, because trying on glasses is pretty futile when you can't see what you look like in them because you're not wearing your glasses. I had to get inches away from the mirror just to get a good look at them.

This is part of my unending outward appearance revision. I've been really trying to look better than I have--more in style, or at least, a close approximation. Which is why I am always checking out things like "What Not to Wear." I won't comment on WNtW right now, as I have before, but at least some of the advice I hear on the show is useful.

In a couple hours I'll be headed to the salon for my annual haircut/perm. I'm pretty excited about it. I can't wait to get some length cut off again. And it will be nice not to have flat hair on the top of my head (my hair is quite straight, naturally). All in all, a couple more steps in the revision, which is a dance I never thought I'd be part of, but which has led to a better feeling about myself, so it's all worth it, I suppose.

heh

This is a valis-approved lolcat.
