inbred: your grados broke? that's too bad. fwiw, i just ordered up some Rx sunglasses ("nice" model) from HaberVision:

www.habervision.com

browse around the products section for a bit and a 50% "affinity code" will pop up. :thumb:

steve haber was the bollé founder and ceo until 1995, then retired with a 10 year non-compete clause. those ten years are up, and habervision is his new enterprise, with a focus on polarized eyewear :)

i'm trying to decide....

sell Evil Eye Pro, buy RX Racing Jackets and RX-ify my Crosshairs

or

buy contacts

That is a toughie, but I lean towards RX-ifying because contacts tend to be a reoccuring cost plus somewhat a pain in the ass.

what's also striking is in orchestra freshman year of college i sat next to a fellow who was a surly math-major trombone player from Eliot House... just like Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomer/Unabomber

nice catch! i didn't realize that dr. lecter had been listening to the goldberg variations in "the silence of the lambs", but this ancient (1998! http://www.faqs.org/faqs/movies/hannibal-lecter/ ) faq reveals it to be true.
I actually own that album thanks to Dr. Lecter. I have read all the books as well.

One film I can recommend is "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould". Fascinating...
