I got to the train station this morning, and found the entrance to the platform roped off. I interrogated fellow commuters revealed and learned that a cargo train derailment yesterday had blocked the tracks between Hamilton and Aldershot. Shuttle busses were running, but were filling up as soon as they arrived, with huge lines of people left waiting on the platform.

So, I went home. The office VPN runs like molasses, but it's better than nothing.

Last night we had impromptu chili and Family Day Catan with [livejournal.com profile] catsarah, [livejournal.com profile] nottheterritory, [livejournal.com profile] anidada, [livejournal.com profile] sassy_fae, [livejournal.com profile] etherlad, and a New Person Who Hasn't Got a Livejournal. This last individual quickly won herself into our good graces by nothing that, while she had only played Settlers of Catan once, it was on a 3D board, while visiting her friend Dr. Cat.

The New Person Who Hasn't Got a Livejournal is most strikingly pretty. Tell her I love the way her hair frames her face and those glasses rock.

You know, while you're passing things along, it strikes me that a pair of those chunky-style geek chic glasses would look really awesome on [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage. She seems PERFECTLY cut out for the "sexy librarian" look. Or really, just any "sexy authoritarian and yet also academic" look.

If you are the Person Formerly Thought Not to Possess a Livejournal, then there is a comment from me that you should read. First comment on the post. ^_^

Y'know, I have been telling her she should update her eyewear.

Perhaps a jaunt to the glasses depository, where she can sample frames at leisure. Possibly the alternatives could be photographed and presented for review by :J friends!

Great Glasses over by where I work has a great "3 for 1" deal (Three pairs of glasses, but you only pay for the more expensive one) -- This is where I got this current pair that I'm wearing in the photo, and they have loads of other fabulous glasses too!

(I love new glasses! :D)
