I like to think they simply found it impossible to resist the constant stream of "Increase the size of your burrito!" spam.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I did my taxes last night, and as I'm getting a nice refund, I'm splurging on myself a bit.
Anyone want to offer an opinion on this jacket? [link]
Other than my leather jacket, I don't have a casual jacket that's not clearly designed for running/hiking/skiing. And I don't really want to look like a complete touron in Spain (although I suspect I will anyway). It's a bit steep, but I suspect it'll last for several years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is not Chipotle! It is a local place that describes this size as "disturbingly small." Which, sure, for a burrito. But it turns out to be just right for a meal!
In my experience, that can vary quite a bit, dear.
And that's how the conversation got started!

I was about to say you could probably find something just as good much cheaper at a department store clearance or Marshall's or something, it being the end of "winter season" (for stores if not normal people!), but then I saw it was waterproofed, so that's probably awesome.

My replacement card has not shown up (it's expiring in a couple months and they claim I should have gotten it by now.) It hasn't been activated, there are no weird charges, but I'm a bit concerned.
Oh, when/where are you going to Spain?? I like that style of jacket.

It's actually a really cool Portland company, with interesting designs, and they use a lot of organic materials. The pants I got from them a few years ago have really stood up.

Two weeks! Yikes, I need to finish making hostal reservations!

Hands up, who thought that sentence was going to end with "penis"?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wool makes me itch, but if it didn't I would totally buy the jacket. Great cut!

Because books.
I love that jacket, Consuela. If it's going to last, it's a pretty good deal, too.

Y'all are quite the enablers!
It's at Zappos for $40 more, but I bet I'd get it faster. Hmm, I wonder if it's worth driving up to REI in Berkeley to see if they have it. Or calling! I could use the telephone!
