Went to OPSM today, thinking of getting contacts… left convinced that I wouldn’t, mainly because:

• My eyesight isn’t all that bad.
• Contacts require three appointments over 2 weeks, which doesn’t really fit with my imminent departure.
• Contacts cost more money.
• I don’t look bad in glasses. Well, no worse anyhow.

Buying glasses is a pain — having to look at myself in a mirror, while being watched, repeatedly is no fun. I’ve realised however that shopping can be quite enjoyable if you’re flirting (or think you’re flirting) with the shopgirl. This of course is not a guaranteed method of making shopping worth doing of course, as there’s no way to ensure you only get female helpers. I’ll get back to you if I figure out a way. Of course, if you’re too busy flirting you may get a really ugly pair of glasses.

There’s been some subtle updates to grapefruit over the last week or so. It no longer specifies a font for the normal text, so you get whatever font you have specified in your browser’s ‘fonts and colours’ panel. The teeny blurbs on the index pages are now ‘in whiches’ in order to come after and not before the title. Boring? Yes! But fun to fiddle about with.
