Saturday, January 24th, 2004[Entry 28]sweet lew, how could you?
I have so much to do but I am severely lacking motivation. I did do something this morning, though...I took the elastic out of a shirt that was messed up. It looks more messed up now. I'm thinking after it gets washed, it might not look too bad...if so...then I'll just have to pretend I know how to sew and re-shape the sides to make it more form fitting. Stupid shirt.
My mommy surprised me with two new books on Thursday. One is called Bootism: A Shoe Religion and the other is a book called How to Tell a Man By His Shoes...they are both thoroughly entertaining.
So I guess our basement will finally be re-done sometime in the upcoming week. My dad tore the remainder of the paneling down two nights ago. Stupid paneling. My dad was going to drywall it himself...but my parents called the guy who drywalled our bathroom to see how much he charged. To avoid the hassle of doing it, they're just having the guy do it. My mom was sorta "eh" on it when he came over because his quote was to drywall the ceiling, too. My parents had been looking into a wood planked ceiling. I think my mom was afraid the basement would look too boring and perhaps, too modern, if they just drywalled it. So I was like...duh...add some crown molding when it's done and it will be fine.
I've had this on-going pants problem that I've decided to keep quiet about...to save people who read this from utter boredom. I have nothing else to talk about...so oh well. I mentioned awile ago that my favorite pair of Miss Sixtys earned a hole in the knee. Well, for Christmas, I had found my sister a pair of those same Miss Sixty jeans on eBay for a steal. I was kinda mad because they were her size and I really would have liked them for myself. Right before I wrapped them for her for Christmas, I decided to try them on---and they fit! I was so happy! An exact replacement for my favorite pants! Well, not much later, they sprouted a hole underneath my ass. My really bleached out pair...I knew they would eventually get holey because they are super super super distressed...they officially have a hole in the same spot (under the ass). The bleached out pair is 100% cotton...so I can probably just put a patch under it and it will be all good. But it depresses me. Now I'm scared to wear my pants. I technically have four non-holey pairs of Miss Sixty jeans...but 1 pair totally sucks, 1 pair is really um, funky, 1 pair is black, and the other has a brown tinge to them...which I love...but now I'm afraid to keep wearing them in fear they're going to get a hole. I found a pair of Super Tommys for $40. Problem is, they were solid dark blue. I was going to add some distressing myself...but they have like a 36 inch inseam, so they were totally going to need to be hemmed. Lucky for me, I scored a pair for a couple of bucks more on eBay last night...and they're almost exactly what I want. Wow, I did totally bore you with this jean stuff...didn't I? And speaking of Miss Sixty...I would really like that bomber jacket on the left. It's on sale for $113.90 at Nordstrom. Unfortunately, they are out of smalls. Bastards. Not that I would spend $113.90 on a jean jacket ANYWAY.
Designer jean jackets are SO ridiculously priced. They're all like $200+ retail. And like...jean jackets aren't usually ever in "style"...so I just don't get it. I don't get how a jean jacket can cost more than a pair of pants. Ok, I know why they do (construction, details, harder to make, etc)...but it's STUPID. You get so much more use out of a pair of jeans than you would a jean jacket.
My totally favorite meal right now is my Quorn Garlic and Herb Culets and some canned corn. I am totally addicted to it. I bought some Quorn chicken patties, too. While they are good...I think the reason I am so gung-ho on this Quorn shit is because the cutlets are flavored. The patties lack that extra "oomph" but they're good...but no where nearly as good as the cutlets. Mmmm...now I'm hungry. Time to go make me some fake chicken. Hellz yeah.
