Soooooo now I have new glasses. We sweet-talked the Lenscrafters manager into filling a three-year-old prescription, and he even said I could come back (within 30 days) and they'd update the lenses free. Also, my mother's Triple A card somehow resulted in $99 off. I don't know, man. My one criterion was that they look as much like the old ones as possible--a slightly trianglish oval. So of course I walk out of there with rectangles. I mean, at least they're rounded, but they're very long, definite rectangles. I've had that same oval shape, in different variations, for about ten years now--and I would have been upset about the change if I weren't totally just like, "PLEASE PUT SOMETHING ON MY FACE." No one else was even there, so I had the manager and a clerk throwing frames around trying to find a good shape for my "wide temples," and square shapes are better on round faces, blah blah last month's issue of Mademoiselle blee, and when they found a pair that they and my mother liked, I was just like, "Fine, whatever." I squinted in the mirror and didn't blanch with revulsion, so I figured it would be all right. I guess I'll find out in class tomorrow if they look good--it's a small enough class (seven other people) that they'll notice and comment, but it's not like they know me so well that they're going to tread too carefully.

P.S. Please go read Vladimir's Phantom review and stop beating him up over Pirates. Don't scare the Squishy away!

Aaaaand this is why my jokes get fact-checked before they go in the book. (Really? Yikes.)

Yup, it's being a couple of years now. I was considering subscribing to Mademoiselle right before the magazine stopped.

Huh. I didn't know that.

I guess it goes to show the quality of the magazine when nobody noticed its absence.

Awww! Poor Mischa!

My brother and I ran into her at the airport. It went like this:

"Excuse me, are you Mischa Barton?"
"Yeah."

And then she walked away. So now we hate her. It's fun!

You're in good company. You should hear some of the things she's said recently:

Describing picture taken at a benefit For helpterrorvictims.org in Los Angeles: "Oh. For these Russian victims of, like, acts of terror. Most of the people had no idea who I was because they were all into this thing about helping Russian children. But I was so glad I went. That's my favorite jacket ever. It's so horribly '80s, but it's vintage YSL. It cost me nothing."

"I'm wondering when I'm going to stop being labeled the Next Big Thing and start being it."

Ahahahaha. Yeah, I stop in the Mischa Barton thread on TWoP every now and then, and it's pretty astounding. I knew there were reasons I should hate her anyway, but now it's a personal vendetta.

I got those off Fametracker. Ah, tis a small world. : )

Dude.

The part of the story you're not adding in is that according to you, you guys followed her around the airport for a while before you talked to her.

Most women I know would have been a cold bitch in a similiar situation, celebrity or no, famed bitch or no. It's not fun to be followed around by Random Guys. In fact, it's often scary.

IJS.
