ingenuity triumphs again!
since i'm lazy (excuse: my abs hurt from parkour), and i couldn't reach the case where i keep my glasses, which had fallen to the floor, i reached for a nearby sock, used it to drag one of my shoes' laces towards me, pulled on the shoelace to be able to grab the shoe, and used the shoe to reach for the fallen case and drag it towards me.
goddamn, i'm so awesome it hurts.
