New Digs

Well April loves to shop, so she said that we have to go to the mall if we’re going to be in KOP.  But she ended up not buying anything, and instead I bought a bunch of new clothes.  I literally can’t remember the last time I bought clothes.  I just never do it.  I get clothes as gifts (Christmas / birthday etc) and as hand-me-downs from Brian (who somehow is still growing at 27...) and that’s about it, but my family has good taste so that has worked out pretty well for me.

Anyway I got 2 pairs of pants and 2 short-sleeve button-down shirts, and they are all super.  Three were from the Gap, all on sale, and one from EMS that wasn’t on sale, but was still reasonably priced at $26.  The pair of jeans I got are apparently "vintage" jeans.  Vintage, that is, as in "look at me I’m so vintage my jeans even say so with a big 1969 label!  I’m hip!  check me out!!"  Fortunately, a little utility knife action took care of that.
