Last weekend, the Ottawa edition Metro had a cover wrap ad that said, "get your free glasses!" at ClearlyContacts.ca . My initial reaction to shopping for glasses online was wondering how it would even work. Glasses, I would expect, are something that you really need to try before buying. They're like jeans, strawberries, and puppies - something that requires some form of interaction before making a purchase. But free? How can you argue with free? I went to the site and chose one of the first frames I saw, not because they were amazing, but because I wasn't too keen on scrolling through pages upon pages of glasses. The ones I chose seemed to be for average male heads, though I could have checked the dimensions against mine. Again, too much work at that particular moment. I put in the prescription that I got back on January, but hadn't yet filled (my optometrist did give me the option of getting it filled), and clicked "next." Pupil distance required. Pup...

Through the magic of Zip.ca , and the lovely art of procrastination, I have managed to watch a few movies. One line reviews: Star Wars: Clone Wars - Through production values kinda sucked, it was much better than those Episode I-II-III movies. Slumdog Millionaire - Very interesting storytelling, but not worth all the hype. Doomsday - The English made a Resident Evil movie, only incredibly gory and visceral and filled with plot "conveniences" - plus Doctor Bashir is the PM. Space Chimps - Sometimes it takes a non-Pixar movie to remind me why I love them sooo much. Beverly Hills Chihuahua - A surprisingly decent modern ripoff homage of Homeward Bound (which itself was a remake), which I preferred. I really like the idea of renting movies over the internet (Zip.ca is the Canadian Netflix) because it allows me to make a list of movies I say I want to see, and I'll actually eventually see them! So often I'll see trailers and decide to want to see a movie, just to not see...
