Illusion of Words

One Bad thing and other misc

Great. Just what I need.

Do you notice something different about my glasses?

Yes, so I guess I snapped one side right off. And I thought my glasses were indestructible (my old ones are still perfectly alright - apparently the newer one isn’t as good).

This brings a whole new meaning to the warning: “Treat your glasses gently.”

Recently it’s been really cold. As it is, the weather widget thingy says 3 degrees (Celcius, of course), and there’s a powdery icon above it. Snow? It can’t be, because the only thing that’s happening outside is the freezing wind. I check again. Oh well, it’s back to that usual moon+clouds icon. Tomorrow’s forecast puts the highs at 6, lows at -6. You’ve got to be kidding me. I almost froze my nose off just walking 5 minutes to the main campus building in weather around 5 or 6 degrees.

My glasses tilt slightly to one side. I guess the tape made it unbalanced. NOOOO. Perhaps it’s something to make me wear my contact lens more often.

Oh, and I sat through the school’s symphonic orchestra. While it obviously isn’t top class, they played some interesting, radical stuff. Like one poem-y thing where there were just strange background noises - including that of the “finger making circles on top of the glass” sound, you know, the kind of sound you’d make in restaurants just to annoy people (well, not that I’d ever do such a thing). That was pretty awesome. They also played some John Williams music, namely the Indiana Jones theme and Star Wars theme, which was also pretty cool.

Then I got back home, nearly freezing up halfway through the walk. And I snapped my glasses. And I … well … am sad. And angry that my glasses failed me. Oh, how could you have done this to me, glasses? I admit that I wasn’t very kind to you usually, but look, your older brother never snapped on me (and he’d served me far longer than your itsy-bitsy one year)! You’re just so… cruel and - and …. (I’ll stop here before it gets out of hand…)
