Well, the votes are in and I have returned from the optometrist and spectacle monger. I more or less went with #5 from the poll. It’s like my grandfather always said, “Don’t buy glasses until you ask the Internet.” Okay, he never said that, but he would have if he had been around for the Internet. As it stands, he sort of just missed it.
I really like how these look, if I do say so myself. Some kind of weird cross between Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic and Ray Smuckles in every Achewood strip since 2004. I guess I most closely resemble M.C. Serch, which is pretty rad, considering that he has basically been my hero since middle school. He is, even still. Even after The (White) Rapper.
I suppose that while this is clearly a win for fashion, the really awesome part is that I can actually use a computer without getting a pounding headache.
So thanks for telling me which pair of glasses to buy, Internet! I won’t forget this!

Hi. May I know what brand of glasses are these? I think they may suit me as well. Thanks.
