so i wake up this morning, try to put my glasses on, when i find that they have decided to become 2 pieces instead of the usual one whole pair of glasses thing that i rather prefer.  i call the place where i originally got them 2 yrs ago and they tell me it's 40 bucks for new frames.  the entire pair of glasses - frames AND lenses - only cost me 55 bucks to begin with.  so whatever, i check my bank account and make sure i have enough (there was an issue with me not being paid last pay-period) and i suck it up and make dad drive me across town to the stupid glasses place to get my stupid frames replaced.

and that was when the optical gods decided to shine down their mercy upon me and i found out that while my exact frames weren't available, they did have my frames in a different color - the color i was originally going to buy 2 yrs ago until a last-minute change of mind had me grab the ones with green.  so about 2 yrs, 10 minutes of "wow this NEVER happens, we NEVER have the same frames after 2 yrs" from the glasses guy, and $40.40 later, i now have the very same frames i tried on during the first go-round.
