Random Rants
-
Ordered a running jacket from the UK. $106, free shipping. Got the delivery notice card from Canada Post today: $44 in Customs and taxes. Grrrr.

Okay, so door frozen open today. Somehow got it open, but the door wouldn't latch shut.
Feeling like an imbecile.

Go Chinese style- cash in little red envelopes.
Like these:
Always a hit, as far as I'm concerned…

48°F outside and the AC in my office is still running….

Couldn't figure whether this goes in random rants or random announcements. Since it's already too long, I figure Rants.
Over time Giles has written 2 things that have stuck w/me. 1) buy your size. and go with the maker's fit. If it doesn't, then it's not the jeans for you. I once didn't do this (sized up in a lower rise pair) and have regretted it: just should have owned up, that jean/cut wasn't for me. 2) 17 oz is about as heavy as you really want/need in raw. I have not followed this and have 17, 18, 19 and 21, and yes, they all work, and I like them all, but practically speaking (the deep down part of the old brain I used to have) I think he's right…17 is about optimal, even maybe 18, when it comes to raw (as opposed to sanforized), without the jeans becoming some extra something-or-other you are conscious of. These low-mid 20-somethings in Raw....well, challenge is always motivating, perseverance a fine trait, and the will can be a wonderful thing.....but sometimes nature has to win.

21 oz sanforized IH denim is wonderful stuff. The more it breaks in, the better it gets (and it's really soft and excellent right from the start). Other than that, I agree with your post fully.

There are few things that rape the Christmas spirit as effectively as the "music" of Mannheim Steamroller. Aren't they why the International Criminal Court in The Hague was established?

I don't understand why UPS even offers 2nd Day Air during the holiday season if, in fact, they mean 5 Day fucking headache. Also, if you say the package is in your warehouse and that I can come get it, make sure it's there assholes. And another thing, hire more people to answer your phones. Been calling a few times an hour since 2pm and nothing except robots want to talk.

00. I learned that pretty quick. There's an audio clip of a woman saying, "sorry, our call volume is so high right now we can't take your call blah blah."
