A voice that is dark like tinted glass:
This weekend, I spent a bunch of time doing things that were in no way productive or related to finishing any of my current projects or attaining my goals. However, I had fun, which more than makes up for the fact that I will have to spend the next five days in a row hopped up on a neverending stream of caffeinated beverages in order to get caught up on said projects and goals. Sometimes, spending a lazy weekend with good friends instead of doing what I "should" be doing is exactly what I need.
One of the things that we did this weekend was shop. We went to Best Buy, where I got a new combo VCR/DVD player so that I can ditch the two separate players currently in my possession. I also picked up some DVDs, a Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD, and a big ass pack of CD-Rs that are really cool looking so that I can make some mix CDs for people. In case you are wondering why it has taken me something like 6 months to actually fucking make the things, it's because a) I procrastinate, b) my "good" laptop with all the music on it died, and c) my CD burner has been a dirty crackwhore and doesn't want to play nicely with the laptop I've been using since the other one died. I think I've managed to identify the problem now, so I should be back to making mix CDs shortly.
We also shopped at Old Navy, where I had to go to get new clothes because when I went over to my friends' place on Saturday night, I wasn't feeling well, and so I didn't pack a bag because I didn't think I would be staying overnight. Then I felt better, so I stayed, but the last bar we went to was smoky so my clothes were smelly and so the obvious solution was to go shopping. (I am a pro at shopping justification, can you tell?) I picked up a cute top, some $7 jeans (score!), and 6 pairs of thong underwear.
I mention this because today I was getting my laundry ready and I realized that my thong underwear collection has really reached mythic proportions. One of these days I will have to count exactly how many pairs of thongs I own, because I think I lost count sometime after I hit 30 pairs, and that was a couple of years and many shopping trips ago. At this point the thongs have overtaken the underwear drawer in my dresser and I think they may be getting ready to stage a coup and overthrow the t-shirt drawer. You would think that I would try to defuse this escalating state of unrest in my closet by avoiding any additions to my collection, but how can I resist a pack of 3 really cute patterned mesh thongs for $1.99? I mean, that's like 66 cents a pair! You can't get a deal like that unless you're really gross and get your underwear at like Goodwill or something. A deal like that is worth the risk of civil closet war, don't you think?
