Versace Frames

Versace glasses

I wanted a bolder look this time, since my last pair is much more sub­tle. Actually, they’re still my cur­rent pair, as I wear one or the other, depend­ing on the mood.

Following the trend in most of my designs, I’m going for more con­trast and stronger statements.

They didn’t sit quite cor­rectly on my face (or most Asian faces, the sales rep told me, as we have nar­row nose bridges), because they don’t have nose pieces. The frames would be too low for my face and my eye­lashes would brush against the lenses, so I had to order some nose pads to add on myself, et voilà. A per­fect fit.

Versace logos

Of note is the logo on the arms. This is the first time that I’ve seen the Versace logo like this, but fur­ther research indi­cates that it’s an uncom­monly used alter­nate logo. I thought it was because the reg­u­lar logo would have lines that are too fine for small rep­re­sen­ta­tions, but that doesn’t appear to be the case, as I’ve seen it even smaller on watches and bracelets too. Which is just as well, as I wouldn’t care to wear any­thing with the Medusa’s head on it.

District 9 was fuck­ing amazing.

I love it when peo­ple have dreams about me where I’m even more styl­ish in them than in real life.

Missing A Ride

I almost did some­thing stu­pid crazy excit­ing adven­tur­ous tonight. But I didn’t. Maybe it was too last-minute. Maybe I was feel­ing too shy and intro­verted. Maybe I’m com­pla­cent. Maybe I’m too com­fort­able where I am right now.

Maybe the con­se­quences of fail­ure were greater than the poten­tial gains of success.

Sometimes I won­der when the scales will tip that bal­ance. When — if ever — will I be unsat­is­fied enough with things to step out of my com­fort zone and take those chances?

When will I catch that ride?

Starburst exotic trop­i­cal fruit can­dies are filled with heroin. I will be main­lin­ing these lit­tle blocks soon.

Canada Day '09

(This is how behind I am on post­ing my pictures.)

Canada Day is always a way for us to catch up with each other once a year (for those from out of town), to see how every­one is doing over some bar­be­cue and baked goods. There are always new faces, famil­iar faces, and this time, it was a lit­tle dif­fer­ent, with three babies that weren’t there last year. My friends are start­ing to have kids.

Sometimes it’s strange to see Aaron with a baby. He’s what we con­sider an adult now, a grown-up, a father. Yet he’s still the same Aaron (which is a good thing), with the same styl­ish clothes, the same inter­ests, the same ebul­lient atti­tude, except he’s hold­ing a piece of himself.

AND DID YOU SEE THE LITTLE PECK AT THE END? AAHHHHHHH SO CUTE1.

I’ve dis­cov­ered the point of strong anti-aliasing: when you’re reversing-out text but the type­face has no weight between roman and bold.

The fact that water­melon slices go from sweet (at the top) to less-so (near the husk) makes them the least sat­is­fy­ing fruit ever.

Scratch that, there’s a lot of Chinese peo­ple grouped together, includ­ing the Hong Kong Youth Orchestra. Even Chinese veterans!

Holy crap, there are a lot of peo­ple here. And oddly enough I seem to be the only Chinese one.
