Yesterday was a write off in terms of "gettin' stuff done" as I did absolutely squat.
Still feel like the bottom of a furry pile, but one day off in the middle of the week is about all I can get away with.
----------------
Though I did go down to the skate shop to swap one pair of my new kicks for a different size.
I just don't get how shoe companies come up with their sizes. I'm like a 9 in Chucks, a 10 in s and DCs, a 10 in Vans, Osiris, Adidas, and like an 11 in most Nikes.
It's almost as bad as when I try to buy Amanda some clothes when she's not with me.
Women's clothes sizes are the worst. The size spread from one manufacturer to another is completely screwy. A 7 one place is a 10 at another. I've seen 3s that are the same size as an 8. C'mon, what the fuck is that?
I'm going on the theory that it's a price thing. The more expensive the clothes, the smaller the size.
Men's sizes aren't much better though. I'm at the top end of L in the chest, borderline XL; top end of S, bottom end of M, in the waist; back to the top end of M or bottom end of L in the seat. This doesn't account for the size of my thighs either. Bear in mind, I like baggy, just not hobo baggy.
I end up buying pants in 34s -- I have a 31 inch waist, but just try and find 31s -- just so I can get my backside and thighs into 'em without looking like I'm posing for a Tom of Finland sketch. They still hang halfway down my butt. :/
I wonder where they get these "average" sizes from? Who are these mythological "perfect" people that determine the sizes?
K, rant over.

There are parts of MA that takes me like two hours to drive to. I'm like on the border of RI so a lot of places in MA are pretty far. Oh and this place is still within MA!
I guess I will drive out and see what I think. The more I think of it though the less I like the idea of a long drive. I think that may be a sign that it's a bad idea.
See you later when you get to work.
