I broke my glasses right down the middle a little while back, but nerd that I am, I still couldn't bring myself to walk around with taped glasses on. It could be pretty sweet I guess, but I still felt like I needed to get some new, nice ones, at least for when I am around friends and loved ones that have to be seen with me.
I got some major cheapos at America's Best, two for $70 about, and that included an eye exam. Pretty much a steal. I got a copy of my prescription, too, so if I want to order online some time I can - seems that glasses are like everything else online - cheaper, if you can wait a little while and are willing to take a gamble by not trying it out first in meatspace.
Anyways, once I got them, I went for one of my regular library trips, and realized that I felt way more hip in the library when I was sporting my new specs. Pretty much every person that works there wears glasses, and I bet the ones who don't either conform or leave, due to that brutal librarian hazing I hear so much about.
