Purses. Again, i've been in and out of love with the purse. An on-again-off-again kinda thing. When I took the plunge and decided to forgo driving for the bicycle, it was more necessary to have a backpack style bag....and now that i've simplified a lot of my life, I really don't even have to carry a lot around with me, and so...when I go out I usually just carry all my stuff with me in pockets

We went to Stanford (the outdoor mall, not the school) yesterday to pick up a birthday present, and what struck me were all the purses. All the ladies, (and some of the doods) had these ridiculous, enormous, purses. For some reason, it just bugged me. I tried to remember what I used to haul around with me when I carried a purse. Makeup. Keys. Sometimes a book. A camera. Other assorted junk and frivolity. Really, nothing I truly needed to carry. And so now, i'm anti-the purse. Hence, I now think it looks ridiculous when other people haul them around.

Yesterday, though, all was made right in the world. First, it's no secret that I have a penchant for the hoodie. So, yesterday I stumbled across THIS brilliant invention. A hoodie with 11 hidden pockets??!!!!?! Srsly?! I was so stoked that I threw my stingy ways aside and purchased one post-haste. My sincere hope is that it rocks as hard as I expect it to.
