Moving back in with the rents...

Well, I have reverted about ten years and now share the same address as my parents. I kind of thought this sort of stuff was like those footie pajamas I grew out of when I was ten; something I'd fondly revisit on Thanksgivings and Christmases, but otherwise something I'd grown out of. Well I'm back.

First impressions are positive. I haven't seen a fridge this stacked since high school, they keep the heat on all the time, and, no kidding, they have cable.

We'll see what happens and if they start laying down curfews, implementing no-phone-calls-afte-ten rules, and telling me, "can you please tell Brian to drive slower on our street?"

I am twenty five and I live with Mom and Pops.

Future's so bright I need shades.

Goodbye Pink Couch

In a sad turn of events, I had to get rid of the pink couch.

You will be missed oh monument to comfort.

Tight Jeans, Tighter Bros

So I decided to get me some skinny-legged jeans. You know, some trendy stove-pipes that pull my socks off whenever I pull them off. Just tight enough to show the backside goods to the ladies, if you see where I am going with this.

Dan was kind enough to accompany me. He is a jeans expert. He knows the Levis like a different language. 501's, 511's, 514's, 527's were all options he gave me. 

Hell, I thought, how come buying jeans is so damn tough.

We first went to Urban Outfitters and I tried on a pair of the 511's. These were tight, let me tell you. I could see the flex of my calf through the fabric, which is pretty impressive because I don't have much muscle there to flex in the first place. These jeans were so tight i couldn't get them over my boxers. To get them off I had to sit on the floor of the dressing room and pull on each leg one by one.

I imagined how embarrassing it would be if someone opened the door just then.

I passed on the 511's. Didn't want to deal with that every day.

Next we got to the Levi's store and I tried on a pair of 514's. Now these are sweet. And because of our terrible-economy-pricing, they were only 24 bucks. Regular 60.

Damn I look good.

Although with the new tightness, I have noticed a slowdown in blood circulation...

Feeling Sick

Oh man I got a cold.

Lot's of sickness building up in the general region of my head.

Crinkled tissues scatter around me like wounded birds.

But lots of time to read.

Dust Storm

This is absolutely NUTS

Last Chance Harvey

What I am listening to: "Alabama High-Test," by Old Crow Medicine Show.

Just saw this movie, "Last Chance Harvey." It was pretty good. Very cute and heartfelt. Lordy to I have a weakness for the romantic movies. It is funny and sweet with a few moments that make you want to cover your eyes because you feel so bad for Harvey.

Campus Sub Shop

Four years. Fifteen sandwiches. Finally got my free sub. The seven meat three cheese destroyer. Dreams do come true.

Eugene

Bacon cheesy fries from Rennies in eugene. Come on. I know you have envy for me.

Rachel Getting Married

Watching "Rachel Getting Married" with Dan and it is awkward with a capital A. The movie is shot in a very realistic way and it employs a lot of techniques that are used with documentary films. It affects Dan so much that he gets up to take a break. It is all the tension of family drama wrapped up tightly in a film.

Concert

Talk demonic is a sad Ratatat but still good.

Super Bowl

Mom is ready!

Up late working on writing.

The Inauguration Crowd

Here is a photo of people crowded in for the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Wow.

Famous Rejections

Here is what some publishers wrote back to author's seeking publication of their books...

The Deer Park, by Norman Mailer:

"This will set publishing back 25 years."

The Diary of Anne Frank:

"The girl doesn't, it seems to me, have a special preception or feeling which would lift that book above the 'curiosity' level."

Catch-22, by Joseph Heller:

"I haven't the foggiest idea as to what this man is trying to say..."

History

Yes we can!

Inauguration

Dan and I woke up early to watch NBC's coverage of the inauguration of President Elect Barack Obama. It is early, it is cold (heat is off to save some cash), but it feels good. It is so exciting. What I want to know is how come all the movie actors got prime seats! What have they done?
