Honestly I sorta prefer the rimless kind but I have been told they are UNFASHIONABLE

You don't say. I started out with thick emo glasses years ago and they've been getting progressively thinner. My current pair are half-rimmed so I assumed that rimless would be the logical next step.

(I am not talking about rimming on the internet etc.)

Colbert can wear any glasses he likes. He's so handsome, he's impervious to fashion.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, i think a pair of glasses that is rimless along the bottom but a heavy dark top would look nice on you.
maybe not this exactly, but something similar:

I just shorted out my electricity with my space heater and hot pot.

oh no! please don't freeze!

i need new glasses. i think i might like a pair of those half-rimless buddy holly glasses. or plastic on top, metal on bottom

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess mine are thin on top and rimless on the bottom. They're Chesterfield brand and they have a ridiculous snakeskin-ish pattern on the inside of the earpieces where no one can see, just to taunt me.

Grrr. The IT department here is infuriating. They're PC people. They're PC zealots, more like. They think that Microsoft is just simply amazing, and if asked to fix anything on a Mac, they get angry and frustrated. They do not know how to use Macs at all. Which is fine with them, since the narrative they have collectively created is that Mac people are pretentious little children who use Fisher Price computers. It's so weird. I didn't know that PC zealots were still out there in force, at least not ones who go around thinking that OS X is a piece-of-crap operating system.

IT dudes who "think that Microsoft is just simply amazing" == n00b l@m3rz LOLOLOLOL

Seriously, *nix or go home.

I mean, I know a LOT of sysadmin/developer/whathaveyou types, and I could count the ones who have anything good to say about Windows/Microsoft on like one finger.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

ps jaymc what was the song?

"Next Time Around"

john, i'm pretty sure i put the della reese version of 'the lady is a tramp' on your mix tape or whatever.

You're probably right. It doesn't sound much like Ella, now that I think about it. I just realized that you didn't give me a track list, so I had to make up the tags in iTunes when I imported it.

Who sings the version of "Girl From Ipanema" that's on there?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i have never known any sysadmins or IT people who have ever had anything but a serious loathing for microsoft.

cluster-sharing on microsoft in 99/2000 had me thinking kaczynski-like thoughts.

Excel is pretty sweet, though. That is pretty much the best Microsoft product ever.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, Kels, I like Bevel frames! I had my eye on a pair for a while but optician didn't carry 'em and I couldn't deal with the paperwork of going elsewhere.

Ev: Plastic on top, metal on the bottom, and tiny mother-of-pearl inlay on the temples.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

That song is verboten.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i have been extremely happy with mine. they were stupid expensive, but the titanium has held up beautifully. they have yet to get bent.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

What, Jordan? "Girl From Ipanema"? It's a pretty sweet tune, if a bit played out. I'm trying to remember if I know "The Look of Love."

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I just listened to the Dusty Springfield "L of L" and it's luverly.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

...which has inspired me to move onto the rest of the Bacharach 3-disc set.

"What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get another chance to catch pneumonia / and when you do, he'll never phone ya."

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, GFI. It's probably the most requested and least played song at all jazz jam sessions/gigs. Well, it does get played, but only under duress.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I just listened to the Justin Guarini "Look of Love" on YouTube -- and yeah of course I know it.

the Bacharach 3-disc set.

What's this? Rhino's The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection? I just found that on Amazon.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, it's really pleasant. Lots of Dusty, lots of Dionne, DeShannon, deloveliness.

is he the hot american idol dude who disappeared?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

is he the hot american idol dude who disappeared?

Yup, it was the first "Look of Love" performance that came up on YouTube -- that is, after ABC's "The Look of Love," which isn't the same song.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

oh. he's kinda hot.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Laurel, you pick 'em out, i'll wear 'em

Are we done talking about male promiscuity?

Will there be a TT this week?

my ex wicker park ladyfriend's idol was burt bacharach. great music for wintertime afternoon fun. no double entendre intended there, just fun.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

we will never be done talking about male promiscuity -- it is a BIOLOGICAL FACT

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Wouldn't that be a reason to be done discussing it?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

people talk about the weather all the time

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

We seem to have some interest. I tried to spark conversation on it yesterday, but with limited success. I'm in, for what it's worth.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to see if I understand correctly. Was the argument against the stereotype of males as more promiscuous than women that it is 1) inaccurate, 2) (possibly) accurate but too touchy a subject to discuss in very general terms (ie, validating the stereotype when the proper discussion is to talk about individuals) or 3) something else entirely.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

holy crap, i just got a slightly smaller than scale photograph of myself in my gmail. it scared the fuck out of me when i opened it.

xpost, i'll be up for TT if i have any $$$ left.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm in for TT as well, I suspect.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm in!

Also, I found a good Christmas present for myself:

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I should be able to make a TT. I just dont' feel like drinking. Maybe that'll pass, but right now alcohol sounds meh as hell.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Probably better selection here but images aren't all online:

for those of you who a) know the game & b) care about my choice:
i have disowned my previous 'barf or bone' . . . i am finally willing to admit that he is total barf, as they say.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

count me out of a but, sadly, into b.
