So with the scare of getting pink eye I ditched the contacts today and wore my glasses. I very rarely wear them outside of the house and this is only the second time I have worn them to work. Everyone says they make me look smart which is obviously a compliment that is appreciated. On the other hand how do I look normally? Also is this like a cute schoolgirl kind of good look or not?

Because I normally wear my glasses, I get the opposite of this when I wear contacts, instead. "You look so pretty without your glasses"....so do I not when I have them on?

Except tinder. Most of my pictures are without glasses, but I frequently get comments about the one that does have them.

Sexy Nerd Glasses for life.
 
Fell on my tailbone at work. I thought for sure there was a tree behind me so I could catch myself. I was about 10 feet off. Fell right onto a pile of wood.

I live in a very dog friendly apartment complex, almost everyone has a pet here, it seems. The only real rule (obvious) is that you need to clean up after your pet outside, so it really pisses me off when I go out, and I see poo within a foot from the area of bags/waste bin. How ******* lazy do you have to be to not pick that up?

Reason #473 why I hate people.
 
Just watched the first episode of Game of Thrones. Feels like I've been missing out.

Also just saw the campus town upgrades that are now complete and I think it's taken away a lot of the charm of that stretch of road.

I envy you. Watching the show for the first time is a great experience. I did it, then I got to experience it when my wife watched them all with me and got hooked herself. There are a lot of haters, but it really is a great show.
 
This was going to be my suggestion, although like wx said it may be a pretty popular place. I know there are signs up at Hy Vee that say no game day parking. The ghost lot at Kmart maybe? (Every time I go to staples or the movie theater, I have to convince myself those businesses are still open). I would think MWL would be ticketed, but maybe they aren't concerned with that.
Isnt' there a gen staff lot between the dorms & Lied that is open on weekends?
 
Point and laugh at Woo time: I didn't realize that was ICE T. I know who he is, but I didn't realize that was him. So I was watching tv with friends and that ad came on and I said something like, "Whenever I see this ad, all I can think is 'those kids should stop selling lemonade. If everyone wants Ice Tea then respond to the market and make Ice Tea'". My friend then explained in a pained voice that was the joke, the people were talking about Ice T the rapper. Not one of my prouder moments

My father in law and I were sitting watching football this weekend and this commercial came on.

We both chuckled and I asked him, "If Ice T drinks some of that lemonade, does he turn into Arnold Palmer?" He's a big golf guy, so he liked that one.

His response was, "Only if he drinks half of it."
