We walked to Tied House last night and hung out with Art before he begins his 10 hour drive back up to Washington State...in retrospect, why did we make the poor guy walk three miles to get some beer and a burger? Oh well, good times were had!

Now, I need to talk about something more pressing...the downfall of American Apparel. Not that I felt that they should ever have brought back the stirrup pants, but they were always kind of an overpriced bastion of safe and plain hoodies...but now, they assault us with this??!!??

A whole world of hell to the no! OMGWTFBBQ!!!??! It's like a Bowery crack whore modeling Salvation Army's finest throwaway fabric samples. The whole...print...and the whole...not matching...argh!! My eyes! All I can think is that it has to be a joke, like, if you clicked the link to look at it online a page would appear that says "Ha ha! Just kidding, suckers!" or something. I hope.

I got my ScotteVest hoodie and it is, indeed, the greatest hoodie ever made. Besides the fact that it has eleven hidden pockets, it's all fleecy and warm and soft and ultimate radness.

It fully allows for freedom from the tyranny of purses - I can dig it...

Last night Nate and I had to get all dressed up and go to a fancy restaurant - i've been on the board of directors for this consulting company since 2005, and I really don't do anything, so my resignation was "suggested" (i.e. - I was kicked out to make room for new, better people who actually work) but I got to have duck, drinks, and some crazy fried oysters...only in the Silicon Valley, my friend, only in the Silicon Valley...

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.
