yeah, it is daylight robbery. however in this case i was willing to spend that bit extra to get a very unique japanese design. if anything, it's a sort of memento of a chapter in my life. i always look at getting new glasses as a way of ushering in a new phase, as silly as it sounds. i had 'grad school' glasses and now i have 'japan' glasses, made by japanese artisans, blah blah blah.Dilbert_X wrote:
Yeah, glasses are another thing I don't spend money on, they have even shorter lives than my watches.
in retrospect using chemical wipes on my face/head while wearing expensive glasses was Not Smart. but it's just such an ingrained part of my routine life here, and has been for the last few summers. you simply cannot leave the house without sunblock, cooling wipes, and electrolyte drink/water. the heat and humidity will toast you in 30 minutes otherwise. and remembering to stop and take off my glasses everytime i wanted to dab my forehead or catch some sweat off my brow seems a bit much. very expensive mistake, really.
my only hope is that their no doubt ultra-high margins may dispose them to replace the frames in an act of ophthalmological clemency.
