New glasses. New Haircut. Newish Camera

I think I mentioned that my desktop computer was dead when we returned from Iceland. What I didn’t mention was that my scanner and my camera both require a serial port, which neither of our laptops have. Now, you’d think that we could just buy an adapter cable, but nooooo. The cursed machines only work if plugged into a serial port. I know. It’s stupid. So, for awhile the only way to get images into the computer was to use my Palm Pilot. Functional, but not stellar.

Today, Rob bought a new camera–well, a different camera from Craig’s list. It works with both computers. Hurrah.
New haircut
By coincidence. I also got my hair cut today. Pretty, huh? We’ll see how it does when I have to do it on my own tomorrow.

New glassesI also got new glasses about a month ago and completely forgot to mention them. I tend to wear contacts most of the time, and usually just wear the glasses to and from bed but I’ll also sometimes go a week without putting contacts in. It sort of depends on what I’m doing. I don’t like performing or biking with glasses, because I want that extra peripheral vision. Thanks to the magic of the new digital camera you can see the new glasses.

    Why, thank you! The glasses are made of Beta Titanium, which is super-bendy. They are so thin, it’s like I’m wearing paper.

    I get so excited over the new materials being used for things like glasses. Simply amazing. It blows my mind that so many people are starting to wear the huge-superbig-1980’s glasses again because they’re in style, or something.
