So a couple of weeks ago, when a new mall opened up here in Sunny St. Louis, my mom got lucky and won a $300 shopping spree at Famous Barr. Well- actually, she only got halfway lucky. The $300 bucks could only be spent on men's clothing. Which ment me and my uncle were the lucky ones. And then my uncle decided that he didn't need anything, so I got the be the sole lucky one.

And now I have $293.48 worth of clothing in a couple of Famous Barr bags by my feet.

But it wasn't as easy as it sounds to do this- there were a few rules. I had to buy from specific "collections"... like Tommy Hilpufer, DNKY, Nautica, or Polo. So it was almost like a cruel joke- I got to get some free clothes and such, but I had to dress up like a yuppie. It was like "Brewster's Millions" with a twist.

In the end, I managed to pick out a few things that even I could surely wear. I just need to figure out how to get that damn "Ralph Lauren" flag off the sleeve of one shirt, and I think I'll be alright. And now I can say I own a $90 dollar sweater.

And at least my mom ended up getting a free dinner from her favorite (and only) son :)

Ok, I'm going to write this, since George hasn't yet, and I'm in the mood too since I'm listening to it right now-

John Mayer makes me sick. I love the way he plays guitar- and some of his live acoustic stuff is just awesome (no woman no cry, wind cries mary). He has so much raw talent in his fingers, the way pulls the notes and rythm and melody out of no where and creates this awesome music with just a single guitar... I wish I could do that.

But then he ends up writing little pop-pussy songs, and I can't figure out why. It's disgusting. It makes me mad. It's like he's catering to 15 year old girls that he wants to have a crush on him or something. I can't stand it.

What a fucking waste of talent.

Or maybe I'm just not his audience. Or maybe I should lighten up and just listen to "Puelblo Nuevo" by The Buena Vista Social Club again. (What a cool song- and Ry Cooder is on that album too!).

But anyway.
