Random

So I want to buy cargo pants. I don't like to travel with a bag unless I have to. Mostly I just shove things in my pockets. And then I have strange looking lumps in my pants from my cell phone, wallet, what have you. I noticed the Gap was selling a pair of cargos on their website and went to their store last week to try them on. Only apparently there was some kind of conspiracy against me.

me: I saw some cargo pants on your website. Do you know where I might find them?
employee: I'm sorry, we don't carry those.
employee: We have slouch pants. Same look but w/out the extra pockets.
me: I see. ::in my head:: So they're like cargo pants, only useless.

First the crotch sweater, now this? What are you doing Gap?

Old Navy had a decent selection of cargos on their webstore, but they were all varying levels of unattractive, with the diagonal hip pockets that fit weirdly on anyone who actually has hips. Apparently if you have hips, you don't need pockets. The cargos on the Gap website also had diagonal hip pockets, but at least they came equipped with cover flap and button closure, to compensate.

Of course, they also cost nearly twice as much.

::grumble::


I went out and ran errands today. Mechanical pencils, marker paper, etc. I felt very pretty by the time I got home. Guys at two different registers thought I was hot. Not in the obnoxious, hitting on me way. Just in the "I find you attractive, so I'm being extra serviceable" way.



In terms of the fannish:

I have no news. At all.

:\


Though I am going to see Ratatouille tonight.
