Happy Boxing Day, all!

Christmas Day was nicely finished off by a surprise visit from D. for some amiable low-key conversation (largely about piercing) and some backrubs (not *nudge nudge wink wink* "backrubs", actual backrubs, and it felt damn good). So it turned out to be a very social day! All that was missing was hanging out with [info]doombuggie, who hopefully had just as lovely a day.

Even with my culinary extravagances of the past few days, my bank account is in acceptable shape. I'm debating a trip to HEB and/or Family Dollar, but I'm feeling awfully lazy, so I dunno if it'll happen.

[info]doombuggie was an angel and took me to Eyemasters. Well, first he took me to lunch! We were going to go to Fiddler's Hearth for fish & chips, but they weren't open, so then we headed to a burger place called Mighty Fine, but they were packed, and then we went to Jason's Deli and they were Just Right. Also they had Boylan's soda in the fountain; cane sugar sweetened all the way! I was craving protein so I had a pastrami melt OM NOM NOM.

So then we went to Eyemasters. It was mad busy, we waited around for what seemed like ages. I picked out the frames I wanted; a black blastic sore of emo-kid looking pair, and a nondescript black wire rimmed pair. When a clerk finally got to me, I told him I wanted the 2 for $99 deal and he didn't try to upsell me at all. As busy as they were, though, the glasses wouldn't be ready for three hours, so we're going back tomorrow.

This is the first time I've gotten glasses that someone else wasn't holding the purse strings. Ok, I got the cheapies anyway, but it was entirely my call. Come tomorrow I will have a four pair wardrobe of glasses, and I am going to make myself only wear the shades when it is actually sunny. All you Austin folk, if you catch me wearing my shades at night, feel free to bitch me out.

From [info]austinblotter:

The Southwest Austin home where Joe Allbaugh was living burned down on Christmas day. Allbaugh is the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and one-time aide to President Bush.


Go live in a trailer, asshole.
