Return of the Genie Boom & the destruction of my A&F jeans..



I have decided to post another blog today. Strange? Yes! 'Why post another entry?!' I hear you all yelling from the rooftops of dishevelled churches and other dramatic architectural monuments.
Well, it's quite simple really. You see, I'm both excited, and annoyed.
Firstly, let's get to the excitement. I'm heading off in about 2 hours up to Whistler for the weekend, which should be great fun.

The annoyance comes from the fact that, well many of you I'm sure, will recall me and my clothing because I really didn't have much imagination when it came to jeans. What I'm saying is that I wore one of three pairs every time I went out basically.. Anyway, my favourite Abercrombie and Fitch jeans have finally had it. (See Fig. D.)
Yep. And in fact it was a rather brutal death for a pair of jeans I have to say.. You see on one of my frequent trips to the shops, I acidentally got the hem of the right leg stuck in the gears of the mountain bike I've been given as transport.
After a horrendous shredding sound, I looked down to find that my pants now resembled greatly exaggerated flares.. Seriously, these things would have rocked in the 70s. But I then saw the huge rip along the inside stitching.
So. It's goodbye for them. Unless I can get someone to repair them for less than the cost of getting a new pair.
Actually.. Yeah screw fixing them I'm going to order a new pair now while I'm on the net..

And briefly, on the mysterious topic of the Genie Boom. Well, this will only have significance to a small minority, but I spotted one near my local supermarket. Hooray for the Genie Boom! (See Fig. E.)
See you all in 3 days!

Well, I just swalloed a bug...

Heheh.. Label queen..
Just to let you know Edward, my wardrobe has extended outside A&F since I've been here, in fact I never did order that other pair of jeans.. And American Eagle actually sells short shorts.. Scary yes?
Lissy: It's just the hair.. Seriously I'm eating.
Dave: Yes yes woohoo indeed.. Though it's looking ok in the shot. I guess I'm just used to having it long, so now that it's short I feel.. odd.
Cheers all! (And isn't this internet thingy great? ;) )
