  1. home, check your stroke settings. might have a dashed line set.

    thanks yea but no, i didn't. i can only ever select one of the lies (there only is one line..) - in this instance the solid black line. i don't know how exactly it happens, but perhaps after i eyedrop another line, it maintains the appearance of what it was beforehand too..

  2. ^ that looks pretty great.

    sorry to clog the thread with a technical question, but what the fuck is going on with my lines in illustrator? (see attached.) that's a single path but a double-line? seems to crop up after i've been using the eyedropper.. perhaps i changed a setting somewhere by accident but i'm at a loss as to what it was.

  3. those frames look good, although i don't know what you look like personally. you're 6ft right? i knew when you said you ordered a JP M they would be too small, uniqlo sleeves are usually way short. i'm 6'1 and need a L or XL depending on the fit i want. i'm sure you'll be able to get rid of them easily, though.

    i am. actually, sleeves are bang on - it's the body length that's a little short. i got a long torso (read: short legs) so they might very well work on someone else as tall as i am.

    i take anything from (jp) M-XL in uniqlo which makes proxying a bit of challenge.. i'll probably rue saying this but i can't wait for uniqlo to open in melbourne. next year, right guys?

  4. ^ ha, i'm the opposite. none really come small enough. got my trial pairs in the mail today - well decent for the price (matte finishes are a umpteen times nicer than the glossy). the reeve model is the only one that fits my little eyes, ha.. i ordered them on a whim thinking they looked a little feminine on the male model, but now i'm not so sure..

    thoughts?

    edit: also i just got four of these much-hyped guys in the post, uniqlo slim fit oxfords, but they're a little small on me. quality seems to be on par with my $200 ervell shit. if fact, material feels even nicer and killer colours to boot.

    navy, blue, off-white and olive, all JP medium / US small, BNWT. drop me a line if you'd like to take all four off my hands and i'll throw in free postage.

  5. my sister's cat (well, kitten), whom i also adored it seems, was hit by a motorcycle a couple nights ago. concussion notwithstanding, his vital organs were miraculously okay.. bottom half of his body, however, was pretty beat up - clean break to a leg, pelvis fractured in 4 places, misaligned lower spine yet the vets gave him a chance of recovery. amputation was no option in my eyes so we basically needed to raise 10k for this operation with a specialist vet surgeon. best case scenario, he was likely to suffer osteoarthritis as he aged. i don't have that kind of money, neither does my sister (student-status), but it was on offer from our dad. even so, we collectively agreed to put him to sleep.. but fuck, i am feeling so much guilt, so much regret. i stayed with him as he went under and it nigh on broke my heart.

    we were only given a 15 minute window (over the phone, at that) to make the decision and i fear it was the wrong one. the family is trying to justify the decision by claiming it was a 'quality of life' issue, but i just know if the operation cost were more reasonable we would have given it a shot. i guess i'm mainly disappointed in myself for ultimately assessing the situation in terms of financial expense. but i guess where does one draw the line? nonetheless, if i had my time again, i would have just CC'ed the damn thing on the spot. we owed it to him to try - he was still so young. little dude used to drink from the running tap whilst i brushed my teeth in the evening :(

    support or condemnation welcomed :unsure:

  6. ^ politix surely takes the cake..

    anyone tried a pair of oscar wylee frames? (http://www.oscarwylee.com.au/) friend put me onto it, dirt cheap, have got a bunch of demos on the way. i'm truly sick of paying the prices i invariably pay for spectacles. last pair topped 600 from memory - fuck australia. will report back - i've got quite the narrow face / large head so hopefully one or two fit..

  7. just copped blue, navy, off-white and olive all in JP medium.. i'm 6'0, 145lbs.. hopefully they're bang on. jp large in regular fit pretty much swims on me.

    ps. copped for $10 each, uniqlo jp weekend sale. yep.

  8. so i bought my first uniqlo oxford (this one, http://www.uniqlo.com/jp/store/goods/069233) in JP large (~a US medium) and it fits well everywhere but by god, it's really long. i'm a little of 6' so hardly short - what's up? it's just a regular model, not long. are these things not meant to be worn untucked? i always wear my oxfords untucked.. n shit.

    other than that, really nice. for $20, or whatever it was, fabric feels really nice.
