Internet was down for a couple of days. Is back up now. Weird what that does to my sense of connectedness.

First VanDusen guiding session of the year over with today. It's cold out there! They're doing huge renovations on the garden right now, it'll be interesting to watch over the year.

Well, it's sort of an either-or. Either the lenses would fall off when bumped hard, or it would be painful.

I'm surprised the barbell doesn't invoke your needle-thing.

Oddly enough, tattoos and piercings mostly don't. They all deal with superficial flesh (skin) rather than invading the more complicated machinery below. My trouble with needles is mostly with the idea of things being stuck that shouldn't be. Skin, though, is pretty robust and forgiving stuff.

Still, the pain gives me pause. I'm not really into body-mod myself, though I can appreciate it on others.

Apparently there aren't a lot of nerves there, though, so I imagine that it could pull a bit before it was even uncomfortable. A good enough bump, though, and yeah, they would fall off. The only advantage they have versus normal glasses in the "not being bumped" category is that being frameless, they don't have any arms or corners sticking out at the sides of the face to get hit by things.
