Glasses

If you wear glasses, you should really check out this website before you buy your next pair.  They have glasses for as low as $6.95.  You might think that for that price, it's just the frames, but you would be wrong.  Prescription lenses are included.  You just type in your prescription.  They aren't just reading glasses where you have to choose from 4 different prescriptions.  You type in your exact prescription and they'll make them for you.  Now you're probably thinking, well these glasses must look pretty dorky if they cost only $6.95.  You'd be wrong again.  They have at least 30 cool looking frames for only $6.95, lenses included.  And possibly the coolest part of this site is that you can upload a photo of yourself and try on the glasses.  You can even compare up to 4 different pairs at a time.  They also sell sunglasses, prescription or not.  There is also an option to get magnetized sunglasses attachment that will fit your new frames for only like $4 more.  Even if you don't wear glasses, if you ever wondered what you would look like with them, this site's good for that too.  And you don't have to register for an account or do a special offer either.

Whoa!

Have you heard about how if you click the first link not in parentheses on any Wikipedia article, you will reach philosophy? Well, I haven't found an article where it doesn't.  Also, if you do the same thing on the philosophy article, you'll come back to philosophy.  It's pretty crazy.

Project Time

I have a new follower! Greetings to lucky follower number 13, Sarah from Perth.

I recently started an account on artfire.com, so now I'm making stuff to sell there.  Yesterday, I made this bracelet.

Today, I am going to go to the art store and get supplies to make feather earrings.  They look awesome and people sell them for quite a bit.  I was inspired by these ones that I bought at the street fair.

So that's what I'm doing today.  Well, I'm doing that and selling some more books so I can get clear nail polish to put on the sides of my glasses where they touch my face.  You know how rings made out of cheap metal turn your fingers colors where they touch your skin? Well, that's what my glasses are doing to my face.  I kind of need to get some new glasses, since these get bent really easily too, and have a big scratch across one lens as of two days ago.  Hopefully I can make enough money for new glasses off of my jewelry sales.

Now I Know How it Feels

Firstly, the street fair was so much fun that I ended up going three times.  I'll post pictures of the two pairs of earrings I got as soon as I figure out how to make my camera not take blurry photos.

Secondly, I went swing dancing last night with two of my friends.  Remember back in elementary school when you played sports at recess and there would be two team captains and everybody would line up to be picked for teams?  Maybe you can't relate, but anyway I was always the only girl who played sports with the boys at recess, usually soccer.  I was pretty good at soccer, and despite the fact that I was (well, still am) a girl, I was always one of the first picked for a team.  I had never been picked last for anything.  Until last night at swing dancing.  Let me tell you, it really sucks.  Sure I hadn't been swing dancing since I was 10 years old, but one of my friends is at the same skill level as me and she was asked to dance at least four times as much as I was.  She is pretty gorgeous, but it's sort of a self-esteem crusher when you only get asked to dance 5 times in three hours and only by one person your own age.  The other four were old enough to be my dad, if not my grandfather.  The highlight of the evening was when the drunk guy tried to hit on us before we went in, and said we were all really beautiful, and could he have 12 cents, so he could get drunk.  We ignored him, partially because he was clearly already very drunk.  Then he tripped over his own foot.
