Update.
But first, an aside.
Okay. Everytime I use the word “update,” I think of the end of some of the “Unsolved Mysteries” segments where Robert Stack would, you know, UPDATE you on the status of a particular case. I can actually HEAR him in my head saying, “Update,” and then the update music.
But I just went to find videos on youtube to share with you, my friends who live in my computer, and of all the ones I found, ROBERT STACK DID NOT ACTUALLY SAY, “UPDATE!” It’s just the update music and a little diagonal band across the screen with the word in caps.
Is it possible I have a FALSE MEMORY of Robert Stack saying the word, when, in reality, in all my years and years and years of “Unsolved Mysteries” watching, it was really just a stupid diagonal band of text?
Seriously?
WHAT THE FRICKIN’ HELL, REALITY?!?!
Okay. Remember how excited I was to share with you the newest addition to my physical person? You know, the accessory I will wear on my face, about my eyes, for, oh, the next couple of years?
At work today? NE’ER A WORD.
Not even an, “Oh! You got new glasses! Cool!”
(This is the phrase I use when someone has done something to his or her physical self that I don’t enjoy. As in, “Oh! You got a haircut! Cool!” Because, really, it *is* cool. Who doesn’t like to get haircuts?! That had to have been fun for them.)
So.
Anyway.
Yeah.
It’s okay. Maybe the people with which I spend half of all my waking hours just did not notice the difference.
I mean, the frames are practically THE SAME except for, let’s see, the color, shape, size, lens curvature, and prescription.
In every other way, though – like how they’re FOR MY EYES – they’re identical!
Coworkers FTW!

Ok so they are somewhat identical. But they do look rather nice.
Also I do remember perfectly well Robert Stack saying UPDATE. I KNOW HE DID!
Unsolved Mysteries use to scare the crap outta me when I was a kid.
Me too. I *loved* it, but I couldn’t watch it unless someone was in the room with me.
Jerks.
And FWIW, I am still totally in love with the new frames.
Love the new ones. And your coworkers? Obviously blind. Either that, or they were so busy staring at the fabulousness that is you, they missed the glasses. ;-)
I like this explanation. Gotta be it. Clearly.
