glasses

Yes, it's true. Because I can no longer read street signs while driving, I am now wearing glasses.

It feels strange, as though I am a different person, myself and yet not myself. This is akin to those first few days after a radically different haircut, when you feel that some part of yourself has been accentuated by that cut, and makes you feel as though that quality is the main facet of your personality.

Right now, as stereotypical as it may be, I have to say that while I'm still a tad self-conscious while wearing these, overall the specs make me feel smarter. So while I don't need them for reading or close work, if I do wear them, I feel brilliant. So until the feeling wears off, here's to brilliance.

Pictures of me actually wearing my glasses are forthcoming.

Gorgeous without them, gorgeous with them. I love you and think you are the best-looking, funnest, greatest husband ever! p.s. I like your glasses.

I had to get glasses about two months ago, so I know the feeling; except in addition to making me feel smarter, they also make me feel like a groupie for local indie bands and an independant filmmaker.
