NGD! (New glasses day!)

[Brian Krashpad]

New glasses day! FINALLY got round to getting new glasses to replace the very old two pair I managed to break within about a week of each other. These pics (sorry about the lack of focus, I'm not real good at self-portraiture) are of the the new "Krashpad" glasses, similar to my old "Clark Kents" but in a brown tortoise, my new wire frames (similar to my old wire frames, haha), my new wire frames with my old clip-ons attached, and my "DIY prescription shades" I'd made in the interim. I am nothing if not a creature of habit.

Any of you who weren't fans of the yellow lenses on the Clark Kents (Mrs. Krashpad wasn't) will be happy to note the lack of such on the new ones.

I have to say that the entire staff of the optical place I went to were bemused to a person with my "DIY prescription shades" I'd been using to get around until I could get new glasses. Apparently no one there had ever known of a person to take the lenses from a broken pair of glasses and tape them to the inside of a pair of non-prescription shades.

They have now. ;)

Pretty sexy dude. I'm going to have to go this route soon because of my damn job.

Nice Macgyvering of the shades too. That is some genuine talent to rig those up.

Good luck with yours. I actually am nearsighted, so basically only wear mine when driving, at the movie theater, and most of the time onstage (I will often take them off for the last song of the set so I can go crazy without worrying about thrashing them off my head-- which I have done).

Man, gimme a roll of tape and I could "fix" about anything, haha. I have a Ph.D. in jerry-rigging.

Handsome, good pics!

Try not to scratch yours, like I did with my new ones, a week after getting them!

I figure the fuzzy spot on the right lens is there to remind me that I am alive, a bit of cheap zen.

Another cheap zen moment is trying to read fine print unaided: oatmeal box directions, tiny pamphets that come with small electronics, maps, etc. Fun!

Too late! The clip-ons have already put a mark on the edge of the wire frames. No biggie though, it's on the very edge of the lens.
