i am in desperate need of jeans. i bought some cords online, relying solely on customer reviews and a sizing chart to decide if it i should. then after i placed the order, i thought i had made a terrible mistake. i can't find pants that fit even if i try on a hundred pairs, what would make me think these would work? i got home today, and there was the box. and you know, they fit perfectly! it was completely amazing. especially since i spent two hours today trying on jeans at the mall in ames, and found exactly one pair that i liked the fit of. that are also $60 and one inch shorter (or three inches longer, if they are the regulars) than i would like.
other recent purchases include the new M.I.A. cd, which i have yet to listen to, and the flight of the conchords the distant future. it was at target for $4, and they are from new zealand. i know this because i am smart. actually, i know this because i saw their show a couple of times on HBO when i was taking over eli's tv in naknek this summer, and then laura reminded me of their existance. (btw, i can't figure out itunes...i think i need help 'cause i sure would like to see more of it.)
this week i went to ames because my grandmere turned 80. two of my uncles and aunt were there as well, so it was a grand old time. tomorrow they are all coming up to our house to see it, and then i think we are having lunch to celebrate my birthday. which isn't until monday, but if i can extend it to a four-day weekend, like i would complain! i will milk it for all it's worth. especially since i will start my temp job monday, doing i'm not really sure what but i think i will be making boxes for a week. hooray.
my application is almost done, i just need to do a few more pages and get my plane ticket and my passport out and put it in the mail. holy cow.
