lisah, you are truly my sistah in all things today.
WOOT!!!
(Except these are things that bring us pain or other suffering!)
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also, everyone should wear sunglasses. Best. Eyecream. Evah.
Yes. Signed, Fellow Pale-Eyed Whitey. But the things are seriously useful in preventing all sorts of eye nastiness as one ages.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unless I'm driving towards the setting or rising sun, incipient headache is the only reason for me to feel an immediate need for sunnies. It's hard to remember to be proactive.
Is iris colour part of a protective mechanism, or just a side effect of other colourisation traits? My eyes are near black, which might correlate.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Bright sunlight has rarely bothered this pale whitey.
Sunglasses just make me sweat.
On the rare occasions I do wear them though I can do the $5 ones -- my contacts have UV protection.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I already wear glasses, and getting sunglasses to go over them is too much trouble and expense. I just squint.

This is what I was always told but it might be a myth. At any rate, I can't be out in bright sun without sunglasses and not get a headache.

I wear glasses and have prescription sunglasses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
At any rate, I can't be out in bright sun without sunglasses and not get a headache.
This is me. I've been wearing glasses rather than contacts lately, and picked up some cheapo clip on shades with UV protection and (I think) polarization at the drug store that are super convenient.

This is me too. I am even squinty and cranky on bright cloudy days. Maybe I have a little vampire blood in me.

I have prescription sunglasses, too, and they were well worth the expense.
Happy half-birthdays, Noah and Grace!!
For any baseball fans out there who've seen a Cubs home game on TV or at Wrigley this year, the Tribune has a nice article about the new tradition of playing Steve Goodman's "Go, Cubs, Go" after a win. I've liked the song for years, but hearing the fans bust out singing it even before the PA starts playing it is fun. It's included on the two-disc best of CD that I have, along with "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request," which is also referenced in that article, and Goodman's cover of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
