cry me a river
i am one of those weird people who, at almost 30, doesn't need glasses. some people get really up in arms about this because they are bitter that they have been wearing glasses since they were, like, 2.
every now and again i think about how cool it would beto have glasses -- another accessory! all of those snooty gestures i could use to better make my points in conversation! looking smarter! and older! i could use that last one because just this weekend a waitress thought i had just graduated from college -- at least i'm not getting carded anymore.
last month rogray and i were in atlanta visiting momgo & dadgo, celebrating passover, and planning the wedding. . .yay! we all had some time to kill so we popped into a cookware shop for funzies.
momgo immediately set about buying everything she could get her hands on and i looked at the knives. dadgo and rogray looked at other bits and pieces of cooking gadgets and discovered some onion glasses. rogray decided that we should get them because whenever i cut an onion i have to leave the kitchen at least 10 times because my eyes are gushing rivers.
at first i was all "another gadget that is creating a market where there wasn't one before" but that quickly turned into "a surprise present? i'll take it!! and glasses no less!"
last night we took them for a test run.
here i am ready to start the experiment:
aaaaaand action!:
well? well? WELLLLLLLL?
did it work? could i cut half an onion without turning into a blubbering mess? did these magic glasses somehow make me a mean chopping machine?
YESSSSSS! see? i do need glasses.

don't call it a comeback. . .
i know this isn't much of a triumphant return to the blogosphere but. . .
is it weird that i kind of like jenna bush?
i mean. . .she's kind of cute right? i wouldn't want her to, like, run for prezzies but i'd totes hang with her at a bar.
(and that will be the only picture of he who shall not be named to appear on this blog.)
