New Specs

Peachy modelling my new specs and artfully filtered. There's something about my yellow walls that wreaks havoc with her skin tone...

I did take a picture of me in them, and got a comically reflective view of me taking a picture of myself in the lenses, as I haven't had my prescription (plus anti-reflective coating!) put in yet. Maybe I'm a grouch, but I always laugh whenever I see people out and about with shiny lenses - in my mind this says "fake! I am only wearing these to look cool!" Perhaps they don't have the extra bucks to shell out, or they don't have super high index lenses (fancy technology for those of us with high prescriptions who don't want super thick lenses), etc. all perfectly valid reasons for going around shiny, but I just assume the worst.

Busy Busy Busy!

I started my new job a couple weeks ago. Things have been rather hectic, running hither and thither, a two day camping trip to the Gulf Islands... (yes, that's part of my job). Hopefully I can keep the posts going, but they may be less frequent. But! I do have a couple back stories/pics that I never got around to uploading, so those should be on their way...when I get to them.

Things to come!

-Towel Day Festivities (Douglas Adams fans unite!)
-Another B-Movie Poster Installment (The Beetle?!)
-Camping in the Gulf Islands (freakin' awesome)
-The Latest Star Trek Movie (plus inadvertent humour and insults)
-Jeeves and Wooster (I am obsessed, yet again!)
-The History of Mr. Polly (more of my reading list, this time H.G. Wells)
-Norrell and Strange Update (yes, I'm still reading it)
-New Specs! (Ordered new glasses!)

Basically, I'm still alive, this blog is still a thing. Thanks for sticking around :)
