i ♥ Ragstock

pedro, napoleon, and deb

the conversation last night was much more civil than you would imagine from yesterday's post. it seems i got most of my angst out by posting, which is always the hope in the back of my mind. by rights, i should have abandoned this blog years ago, like everyone else. i think the main reason i haven't is that i just need to whine and complain without interruption or dissent (at least until i've finished ranting).

before the conversation, the wifest and i went over to the old apartment to pick up mail and such. we only submitted our change of address form yesterday, since we just got melanie's green card on monday (some 11 days after our interview). i also finally brought tools with to uninstall the rear speakers, so now there's nothing left in the apartment that we plan on keeping.
afterwards, we went to Ragstock to look for costume supplies for saturday. as far as trying to look as bad 80's as you can, resale shops are the place to be. the glee of "that's awful! it's perfect!"
unfortunately, used moon boots don't exist (they seem to have all disintergrated before they could become retro cool. er, wait. retro-nerdy?) so i had to buy full price new ones. maybe we'll get a blizzard this year and i'll actually need them.
or not.
the t-shirt (red, some comic book character with "Shazaaam!" in really big letters) i'll probably wear, since it's ultra mega comfy. still, though, $70 was a little more than we envisioned spending to look like someone who has no style. at least the wifest's deb costume was pretty cheap. cos she'll never be wearing those sturrip pants again.

    Says who? You never know, stirrup pants could come back :P

    I might well end up wearing those jeans. They might be a little snug on me since they’re more form-fitting than your regular jeans, but if they’re not too snug I might be able to use them as painting/lying about doing nothing pants.

    i’m sure they’ll look better than the stirrup pants. assuming that they won’t sit as high on your waist. :P
