the NLCS is between the Rockies and the Diamondbacks?!
yes.
I only saw Saturday's game but the Cubs were pathetic enough to make me kind of glad I missed the other two.

yes, jaymc. No one will watch the NLCS on either coast, except, y'know, baseball fans.

WTF happened to Aramis Ramirez?

I mean, Soriano sucked too but Ramirez just looked completely lost.

From that Glaswell article, an advertiser, talking about ads:
Look at beer commercials. They always have these gorgeous girls--even now, after all the heat--and the guys are always just guys. That's the way it is. We only reflect what's happening out there, we're not creating it...You can't alter men's minds, particularly on subjects like sexuality. It'll never happen."

The A/C came! We will have coolness soon-ish.
(Not only did the breaker blow, but it was a big enough power surge that it blew a internal transformer--did we have thunderstorms over the weekend??)

I didn't notice any, but we will tonight.
Hight tomorrow of 75, high Wednesday of... wait for it... 56.

I told Jenny, and I'm funna tell you -- I'm abstracting a deposition that at points could work well as Dadaist dialog.
I'm going to just start writing:

ned raggett is a college librarian.
also, that article was v v interesting, especially after having worked in the advertising industry, at a firm that prided itself on only doing Guy Stuff.
also funny in light of my "just jeans and a t-shirt, thanks."

I think it's totally fair, re "guys" and clothing, to see "getting dressed" (or "dressed up") as a JOB, and clothes etc being the GEAR you NEED to get the job done. In that light, you can justify some neat shit to yourself as being a means to an end. You still have to choose an appropriate "end", though, I guess.

Sigh. I am prolonging men's fashion convo b/c I miss my man and this is an excuse to think about dressing men I like in clothes I like. Win/win!

I've got a prit-y strong suspicion that I will be leaving work early today. Too fucking hot and it's a High Holiday.

It can't be a High Holy Day, my boss is here. Or was that a joke?

It's Columbus Day.

I am wearing the lovely Ben Sherman shirt that the lovely and tasteful Julia got me as an early birthday present.
― kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link
mmm... Ben Sherman. So britisher. It's not a crazy-ass pring or anything, just modest stripes, but the cut is what makes it special.
― kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:18 (sixteen years ago) link
PRINT, not pring

Haha, I am wearing a Ben Sherman shirt today that Renee bought me when we were dating.

I think I've only seen Ben Sherman clothes for sale at the Virgin Megastore (RIP).
― Eazy, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Some Ben Sherman shirts carry the risk of making you look like a latter-day Doogie Howser. But I do love the cut, slightly tapered at the waist, giving you that hott triangular shape even when you haven't entirely earned it.
― kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link
jenny passed the bar? YAY!!!
ok, what's your specialty? labor law? my friend jay's brother has already been tabbed as my lawyer when i get pinched by the pigs and put in the pokey which makes total sense since he practices contract law. so my labor lawyering friend, you will be my go to person on all matters concerning real estate law.

I like Ben Sherman but as I just noted in the man fashion thread, I can't wear any clothes with logos or brand names on them, and all the Ben Sherman shirts have "BEN SHERMAN" splashed on them somewhere.
― n/a, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link
oh yeah, in case I didn't say so publicly, YAY JENNY!

I was trying to find an image of the shirt that I'm wearing, but this came up instead:

I know what you mean, but not the one I have on. It has the insignia on one cuff. No thang.

If you morphed me and Kenan and Dan together and added a strange and ugly t-shirt, I think you would end up with that photo.
