I forgot that trial was going on, I tune out celebrity stuff the majority of the time.

I don't rly care for celebrity stuff either, I kinda find the celebrity worship gross.
This trial kinda took on a whole life of its own tho lol.
It was very bizarre.

Objection! Hearsay!

But yeah, with Muffingate, dogs stepping on bees, megapints of alcohol and jars of illegal drugs it was quite a wild ride.

Managed to get my current lenses into a new $9 frame from Wal-mart, and got an eye appointment setup to make another set on the 27th. Gonna get some contacts too. Back ups on back ups. Thanks for the well wishes and glasses stories, fellow Glasses wearing FFXIV peers Rica, Robyn, n Lauront!

I still can't get over the face she made when she said her dog stepped on a bee xD...
It was like she realized how idiotic it sounded mid-sentence and groaned in pain out of embarrassment it was really bizarre.
It came totally out of nowhere too and had nothing to do with the case lol, she just suddenly decided to throw that in there.

I've had the same issue with plastic ones. Although I am trialling contact lenses soon, which I hope will be an improvement. Getting them out is apparently easy... still not too sold on how easy they are to put in, though.

The worst glasses I've ever had were rimless ones.

It‘s weird in the beginning, but you get used to it pretty fast. When I got mine I had a hard time „touching“ my eye (You don‘t really touch them directly, but you feel it nontheless) . I remember it taking about 15-20 mins to get them out the first time. It‘s not even a second to get them in and out now

Contacts are amazing. You get full peripheral vision, and objects appear larger, because the lens joins with your eye rather than being in front of it like glasses, so you see things at their true size, rather than the minor shift in size that glasses magnification causes.

I love contacts !
I’m wearing glasses since my childhood and switched to contacts 15 years ago.
Like Fukuro said, it was “hard” to touch my eyes at the beginning and the first day I really struggled to remove my lenses.

Little trick when you put them : look in direction of the celling, place them on the white part of your eye (how do we say “cornée” in English?) and then look straight in front of you.
Same tip for removing them!

Damn, I didn't expect Johnny Depp to win his lawsuit at all.
I expected them both to lose tbh.

All it'd take is one person in the jury being all like '' nah, hashtag belieb all womenz ''.
That trial was wild tho.
There certainly was stuff that didn't make Johnny Depp look good, at the same time tho...
The context should be kept in mind that he had to live with a horrible and abusive person like that it's not too strange that he'd be pushed into having some bad moments.
Doesn't seem like he was like that at all in his past relationships either while Heard had issue with that and also just with people in general not liking her.

I think there is a lot of stuff in anyone's personal lives that could make them look bad if someone was recording them without their knowledge, and put on display for the world to see. Lashing out in anger at cupboards, having nasty arguments, or having substance abuse issues does not automatically mean that they physically abuse their partner. My grandfather would verbally abuse my grandmother day in and day out, I heard it all day everyday growing up, but he never hit her. He'd also put me down day in and day out, but he would always do that while yelling at her. On the other end, my parents both are drug addicts. When they lived together they would not only verbally abuse each other, they would hit each other too. Of course, however, when my dad had hit my mother it was more severe.

I won't get too detailed on my opinions on the case here, but I can definitely say I was also surprised at the outcome. I don't have much faith in the courts here in America. Maybe we will see him start doing movies again. Needless to say, I do support Johnny over her.

Yeahhh. It is also interesting how weird people can become when they have much money.
