Dead Sexy
I recently got new glasses. Aren't they sexy? I had never seen a floating frame before and everyone fell in love when I put them on. The frames are Derapage Spoiler 07. I decided to switch to glasses because I felt they would be easier on my eyes with all the reading and computer research I must do for school. So far, that's not the case.
My prescription has increased since my last checkup in 2001, and with each prescription change one usually must go through a period of adjustment, headaches, and disorientation. It's been a long time since I wore glasses on a daily basis out and about in public. I forgot that with each stronger prescription objects appear further away and smaller. I also forgot that glasses have fields of view, which sounds silly but when I sit down at the table to eat I wonder where my food went. I have to look down much further to see it in focus or push the plate further from me. I'm surprised I haven't stained every shirt I own.
The same principal applies to reading. In order to see a book now, whereas once I would place it on the desk and turn my eyes down without having to move my head, I must now either turn my entire head down, move the text further from me, or position the text on an angle. I think I will get a mini pulpit for my reading needs.

Due to the adjustments required to learn how to see through designer glasses, my body has gone on strike. My neck is killing me from the amount of new strain I've put on it, and my eyes are throbbing since I have to hold books further away. My shoulders are aching since I must sit further back from the laptop screen. Last night I couldn't climb the ladder to my loft and slept on the floor. This is the last thing I need, as I have a test coming up on Monday and will be studying for the whole weekend. Who knew that designer glasses would give me faux whiplash? I got these because I want to give my eyes a break. Instead they're working overtime :(
They do look damn sexy though. Casey says I could be Wired's Sexy Geek of 2008. I say sure, if I survive to accept the award.

Yeah. They are way sexy and look great on you. Something has to be wrong though if you are experiencing so many issues. Do ask someone about that!
You. You will survive. Oh, as long as you know how to love, I know you'll stay alive. ;) You sexy geek you.
T: Thanks for the compliment! I have arthritis so it's not uncommon for my body to react strangely to new stimuli.
C: I love you.
Hey man, I definitely dig the glasses. Lookin' sharp.

you should wear contacts! after a while it feel slike you are wearing nothing at all. plus, i don't think contacts have a field of view...
i should know. i wear them!
You should have eaten more carrots as a kid!
But the glasses are nice.

Jay: I feel the love. In fact I've switched from contacts back to glasses for study purposes. I still have a pair that I'll wear when I want to look my best.
Mike: thanks :)
Nice lookin' specs. I had Lasik done a while ago and love it ... but it does mean I miss out on all the sexy glasses looks out there.
In a bit of universal synchronicity, I was just thinking about you the other day (I'd found some old quotes you'd had on my now defunct quote board page) and then you go and comment on my blog the next day! (Now I feel even more guilty for falling behind here ... sorry, I'll catch up right away ;)
@ David: No worries man. I have a sixth sense.
Sexy is an understatement! I have the same issue but mine stems from not wearing my glasses for weeks at a time, then after suffering headaches, I remember to wear them, go through the eye adjustment period, and then I start seeing correctly again and thus believe to be magically cured and forget to wear them....repeat.
Amber, what a vicious circle!
those are really nice glasses..they suit your face.
I wear glasses all the time and got a fancy-schmancy pair that has clear sides, and when I first got them, I'd make myself nauseous or trip over myself because I couldn't see properly when I looked to my side. too fancy for me!
