Tuesday my glasses broke, right in the centre of the nosebridge.
\nI scotch-taped the middle and wore them nerd-style all day.
\nOh, the shame.<\/p>\n
Took Wednesday off work to get new eye gear, but to no avail – my prescription is about -4.5 plus astigmatism, which means that new lenses will take about a week to be ordered in, cut, coated and framed. Crestfallen after failing in my vision quest, I exacerbated my myopic misfortunes by sitting really close to the TV screen and watching two episodes of Twin Peaks, followed by two episodes of Smallville (which I’ve taken an immediate and fierce liking to; more on this later). But watching telly, while soothing, wasn’t producing results.<\/p>\n
To calm my sightless rage, I decided to be productive, and went shopping for the perfect bathroom flooring with Greg – our plumber friend who isn’t Dan – at Olympia Tile. Failure to anticipate being confronted by over 9 million varieties of tile caused some mild hyperventilation and a lot of jogging up and down the aisles, weighing the pros and cons of things like chair rails and liquid sealants. The manufacturers names were hilarious; someone *other than me* bought a company that sells natural stone tiles and called it “Rocks & Rocks”. <\/p>\n
Justin and his Mum came and looked at tiles again last night.
\nMy Mum might be coming to look at tiles on Monday.
\nThe poll below is your big chance to comment on my vital tile decision.
\nDude, TILE SHOPPING. Shopping for tile.
\nIs this a total ‘Old School’ moment, or what?<\/p>\n
Frank:<\/b> I told my wife I wouldn’t drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time. <\/p>\n
College Student:<\/b> A big day? Doing what? <\/p>\n
Frank:<\/b> Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time. <\/i><\/p>\n
