this makes me emo

Okay... I know, another week between updates.
So my glasses... last Saturday I found a guy in the city here who could order them in from New York, and put lenses in them. So I paid him my money, and left the store on cloud nine.
The next day, I get a message at work from him telling me that they've been DISCONTINUED! Apparently the NY guys tried the designer's HQ in Paris, and still no dice.

Well mother fuck.
If that just isn't so expected.
God damn it all.

So here's the plan. One other store in Winnipeg stocks Alain Mikli frames, but they've been closed for the summer, reopening on August 19th. I plan to phone them, find out if they have any in stock. If they do, then good. But they won't, so I'll have to order them from eyeglasses.com. They still seem to have the frames in stock, and after the exchange, the price is only a few dollars more than the local store was going to charge me. The only sticking point, is the customs and duty.... plus shipping, plus taxes (I'll have to pay GST), so that makes them a bit more expensive. Not to mention that all those extra costs more than likely won't be reimbursed by my insurance.
That being said, I still will most likely purchase them. If you're wondering which ones, I don't feel like relinking, so eithe read down, or google A0325 (it's a zero).

In other news, thanks Christielli for turning me on to Memphis! I just bought the cd :)

EDIT: I bought the album, in this case from iTunes Music Store. I haven't bought an actual cd in ages.
