I went to get contact lenses today, because I thought I might as well get my money's worth out of my stupid health insurance. It turned out that it didn't make the slightest bit of difference whether I had it or not. Ahahahahaha *sob*.
Then I got an iPhone, because Softbank is giving them away for free! The 8gig is free and the 16gig is 480yen a month, which is still very close to free.
When I got home, Olly Cat laughed at me and asked me if I was having an early mid-life crisis or something. Shut up, Olly Cat! What do you know! You're just a stupid cat scientist! Go invent something! Jeez!
The contact lenses will be good for the summer. I always imagine that on hot days, my eyes are warmer than they need to be because the spectacles act like a little greenhouse. (Nonsensical imagination is nonsensical.) On the other hand, I really identify with being a glasses-type.
I'll still be a glasses-type even if I'm not wearing glasses. It's like how I'm gaijin, even if I don't look it. Still, when I nod to other bespectacled humans I pass on the street, instead of nodding back with solidarity, they might just be confused and bewildered. I like to think that even if I am not overtly bespectacled, my fellow glasses-types will recognise me as one of them.
There are some photos under the cut of Miwa wearing glasses. She's this girl who looks a bit like the Lanithro.
She's utterly plastered on white wine and cocktails halfway through a night out in Tokyo. Hilarious crooked teeth on full show here. You'd think she would smile with her mouth closed more. She really misses having gloriously flame-red hair like this. It's a boring dull brown now. Try harder, Miwa!
In 60s fancy dress. She only feels comfortable wearing skirts and dresses if it's a fancy dress event because she very illogically feels like she's tranned up but it doesn't count if it's fancy dress because you're supposed to look a bit silly in fancy dress. She's going to drop that ash all over herself.
During an unfortunate haircut stage. It was the summer, though. It was practical hair, if anything. She's on a weekend away at the seaside, where she's fallen in love with a magnificent shiny beetle. Like many holiday romances, it didn't work out.
