avramWe had not one, but two power outages this morning!
I bought me some pants! I’d been planning to hold off on clothes purchases till I hit 250 pounds (at which point my parents will by me a whole new wardrobe), but I just needed pants. I found a discount place selling jeans at under $10 a pair, but all too small, nothing over a 42" waist. What’s up with that? Don’t these people know there’s an epidemic of obesity in this country? Let’s see some cheap big pants! Pants for the people! Another shop had some nicer jeans at $30 a pair, but I haggled the guy down to $20 by the simple tactic of turning around and walking towards the door. He gave me the traditional spiel about how the factory wouldn’t even let him sell them if they knew he was letting them go so cheap. I’m sure I was taking food from the mouths of his babies.
Turns out I can wear a 48" waist now! And they’re a bit loose; I could probably take a 47" if goyishe shatnez didn’t prohibit odd numbers. (Maybe five of you got that.)
At Cosmic I picked up, um, issue #1 of Ruule: Ganglords of Chinatown, ’cause it looked cool and there wasn’t anything else I was interested in, and #1 of Plug Perkins, ’cause it was free, and still looked better written and drawn than stuff I’ve paid actual money for.
Met with the usual NYRSF crowd.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent_allard_jr dissed my epistemology. Them’s fightin’ words!
Got very rained on. My sketchbook got wet, the big Canson spiral-bound. Some of the stuff towards the beginning was done in water-soluble marker, and has suffered. A pain, but not a disaster.
Got home to find a note from our landlord. More power outages! The power outage spirits love us! I headed off to Ground, and on the way ran into the work crew that was fixing our lines, and got a forecast of another fifteen to twenty minutes of darkness. There’s some sort of problem that’s getting a temporary solution tonight, and a more lasting one tomorrow. I hope.
We didn’t get to see Angel, but we’ve got people taping it for us. Top men.
