I have acquired new glasses! Kind of. Not really. I will have, in another week, when they come back from the lens lab.

My old glasses are perfectly fine, actually, and my prescription hasn't even changed (though the optometrist said I'm looking down the barrel of bifocals in another ten years, oh god) but the lenses are scratched to hell and back, which is what happens when you wear them through two Chicago winters, so I'm gettin' new lenses and frames that are basically exactly like my old ones except black instead of silver. I tried some chunky emo glasses on just to see if I still look like a douche in them, and yep, I still do. So, thin square frames it is.

BUT THAT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING. Origami is interesting! I folded a hummingbird today.

I'm pretty sure I messed up his ass, but I have it on good authority that hummingbirds don't care what their asses look like.

I had to get over the bifocals thing - I'm 27 and I've had reading glasses and distance glasses for at least five years now. I've always had crap eyesight, and I just wanted the headaches to stop. It's really not that bad; I decided not to feel old about it, and I don't. I can't really blame it on my age, anyway.

Unfortunately, I'm also in desperate need of getting my reading glasses replaced (since I wear them most often, but they're also about four years old). The lenses are very scratched but I can't find ANY frames that I like and I never liked the old frames.

And now, I've broken my big toe which will seriously hinder glasses shopping for the next week.

Yay hummingbirds!
