aryon asked: you coming to the surfer blood show on monday? I'll be theeeeerrrrrreeeee!

Why not? Send me details!

DID YOU HEAR TED LEO IS PLAYING THE TERRORDOME SATURDAY NIGHT? NO, I DON’T THINK IT’S BEEN TWEETED/REBLOGGED/FACEBOOKED ENOUGH. LET ME SHARE THAT INFO AGAIN WITH YOU.

My current faves, Old Navy’s “Sweetheart” skinny jeans, are becoming extinct. Why, Old Navy, WHY?! These are the best jeans ever.

I need to replace them, and soon. Here is what I want, read closely, then recommend:

- High rise (preferable), though I’ll take anything nearing the waistline. (Sorry, when you’re my size low rise jeans are shaaaaaaameful and should be as illegal as firearms.)

- Skinny leg; I will not waver on this. I hate bootcut because once you’re larger than a 10, every clothing company makes bellbottoms. Skinny leg jeans are the only way I can ensure that I will not look like some That 70’s Show reject.

- Un-distressed; listen, I’m adjunct faculty barely making enough money to get by — do you really think I want to exaggerate my poverty?

- Preferably non-stretch; lord how I miss jeans from the 1990s. So tired of watching the crotch die out after a few months.

For someone who spends their time observing the rest of the world, I am oblivious to my own body. Case in point: it appears I have broken a toe. (Don’t ask me how, I have no idea.) My foot’s been hurting for about three days, but only today am I aware of the cause.
