Glasses
Last weekend I went for an eye test, proving that I’ve become blinder in the past few years… (Yeah, I know. I should have an eye test every year…) So this weekend I went to get new glasses. Now I am poor.
I understand that glasses cost quite a bit of money, and I’m not complaining – after all; I prefer to be able to see than not. But there’s nothing like spending the better part of a grand to make you feel simultaneously excited and guilty.
I was going to blog about the new laptop I was deciding to get, but it’ll have to wait now. Which is probably a good thing, as the new Intel Core Duo laptops look very good – they’re breaking the 5 hour battery life mark with twice the processing power of previous laptops. The Averatec 1050 looks very nice, if it weren’t for the horrible burgundy colour lid (it isn’t dual-core, though). So, while I save up again, I’ll have plenty of time to decide which, if any, of the new Intel-based laptops are good.
Mind you, I did get some prescription sunglasses. They’re always very expensive, but I’ll look so cool
