I had to get glasses because I was losing the ability to see things up close. Thankfully, I can still see the computer, but when I read, it's all a blur.
I got my eyes checked by some guy in a white coat. It was sort of fascinating to see my eye in color x-ray format. Everything you see in the world reduced to a couple bits of flesh you had no ability to understand.
I picked out these frames, even though they are technically for men. I have a big head. What can I say? They're drunk Dean Martin meets bookish Sophie Loren.
I've actually always wanted to wear glasses. They're kind of a pain in the ass, though. Eventually, I plan on wearing them on a plane, reading a magazine, staring out the window, waiting for the landing.
