Doesn't matter if you are going cheap on the frames. What matters is how they look on your face!!!!!!!!! And whether you can see outta them! LOL

I buy those $15.00 reading glasses. My eyes are not really bad,(1.15) but when I get tried I need a little help.

I like my cheap glasses I think they're fun.

My eyes are so middle-aged bad that I have to have prescription glasses. I am blind otherwise. This is a real drag. *sob*

I actually like wearing glasses. I like that I can 'funk up' my face! LOL I think I need some funk added to my boring face! And I'm too old for a whole bunch of piercings ;)

So, guess what?! I just got an email from a place I was doing some work for last year, around this time. They are asking where I am, and if I'd be able to do some work for Season 2 of this animated show (stop motion, like Gumby) that they do. I replied saying that I was in NB now, BUT I was totally down with doing that, provided they were ok with me doing it evenings and weekends. It will be 7 episodes. Last time, it took me about an average of a week per episode, 40 hours a week. I think I would just tell them to pay me $____ x 7 or 8 (maybe I'll try to get 8 out of them, to give me a little leeway)

This could be VERY good for me. Not only would it be some money before Christmas, but I could also get that computer I've been drooling over! Actually, I'd NEED to get the computer beforehand, to work on, so... I may have to do some parent begging.

Eeeee! I hope he says yes! I'm scared, cause I think they might not want to have people from out of province, cause I think they get some kind of provincial funding that encourages hiring within SK. BUT... I think they think what I do is very specialized, so they may think they NEED me! Ha! I hope so!

Mandi, I just picked out a new pair of glasses, actually 2 pair, one pair is sunglasses. It had been 2 years since my last eye exam so I had them tested and my prescription changed. I really only need my glasses when I'm at work, but lately, I've been getting a lot of headaches, Anyhow, I walked in the eyeglass store and picked out a frame, the person serving me was male. He said, "if you were my sister, I would tell you not to get those frames ". He said I should pick something a little more modern. So I allowed him to help me pick something that was more avant guard!!! They are rectangular and the frame is a blackish-blue. My sunglasses are large also rectangular and brown.....Kewl.. I don't have them yet, I expect they should be ready early next week.

Hey Congratulations on the job offer. Your work sounds like fun...Maybe I'd like to do that when I grow up

I never think that I have picked expensive frames, but by the time I pay for lens , anti glare, scratch resistant coating, BOOM it's $400.00 bucks !

( I always get the ones that come with the magnetic clip on sun glasses )

Yah, congratulations on the job offer, Argon. Your line of work does sound totally cool. Any chance of seeing your work on TV? Sometimes I watch Comedy Shorts on the Comedy Channel. These are all short pieces and some of them are cartoons or done in claymation.

Hmm... the show that I worked on last, you could watch, if you APTN (the Aboriginal People's Television Network), is what it airs on. It's called "Wapos Bay". It's on Monday morning (I just discovered it was actually on, so now I'm setting my DVR to record it so I can see my name in the credits!) It's about a little native community in waaaay northern Saskatchewan. There's some cool people doing the voices for some of the characters... Gordon Tootoosis, and Lorne Cardinal (the cop from Corner Gas). What I did... pretty much was listen to the audio, and plan out the mouth shapes that the animators would be using, and the timing they'd need, to make the lip syncs work. If they look like they're actually saying what they should be, that's alllll me! If not... blame the animators for not following my 'dope sheets'! LOL

Ummm... another thing... if you ever see this movie [ame=http://www.amazon.ca/A-Fairy-Tale-Christmas/dp/B000HRMCZW/sr=8-3/qid=1162056809/ref=sr_1_3/701-4041457-0577120?ie=UTF8&s=dvd]A Fairy Tale Christmas[/ame]... stay away! Nah... it's not terrible, but not great. It's available on Oct 31, so I know what everyone I know is getting for Xmas! LOL Just to see my name in the credits, again. I don't care if they watch it ;)

Hmm... I also did some animation for a show called Stroker and Hoop, which is on the Cartoon Network. Specifically the episode called "The Wrath of Khan'ja".

The one I'm working on right now... is still in the really really early stages. I don't think it's known which network is going to buy it. But we're starting a new show, that's apparently going to be A&E's first animated series.

Oh yeah, and something, I'm not sure what, for "Just for Laughs".

I think I'm going to the optometrist on Wed. So hopefully not too long before I can wear my snazzy new glasses. (and not just like a dork, around the house, with plastic lenses that say "Galleria" across them!)

Still no word from the potential side-job. Eeeee..... cross your fingers for me, guys!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
