Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

I finally got new glasses. My laziness made me pass up nearly two years worth of eye ware credit from my medical benefits. Google has really good benefits through VSP, but since it’s VSP they have a large collection of smaller providers. So places like Lens Crafters aren’t eligible.

I didn’t think it would be that hard to find nice glasses, but it was surprisingly hard. Crissy and I went to a bunch of stores and everyone tried to sell me the same stupid black plastic frames that everyone wears. Most places didn’t even carry men’s glasses that weren’t variants of the black plastic look. And most of the stores closed at 5 pm and weren’t open on Sundays. That meant we had to use precious Saturday time for shopping!

Yuck. We finally found some nice frames. They weren’t perfect as the frames tilt in towards the middle slightly. Apparently this is the new style or something. The saleswoman claimed that she couldn’t see the tilt, but I think she’s delusional.

I’m pretty happy with the glasses, except that they get smudged all the time. If you just look at them they get smudged!

On the plus side, I discovered that Kleenex with lotion does indeed have lotion in it. If you wipe your glasses with these Kleenex, you leave behind a thin film of lotion on the lenses.

Hmm… they say knowledge is power, but I think the fact that “Kleenex with lotion does indeed have lotion in it” isn’t very powerful. It’s probably just taking up precious space in my brain. :-)
