1911>2010

I fell asleep sometime around 9:00 and I woke up at 11:00 PM and must have slept so soundly for those two hours that I thought it was 11:00 AM this morning.  I sat up in bed, even started looking for a pair of socks, before I realized it was completely dark still. It took me a minute to figure out that there's no way it could be that dark outside an hour shy of noon.  Anyways, it didn't take me long to convince myself that I was fine getting back in bed.

I had a pretty busy day planned out; mostly things that I haven't had any time to do over the past week or more.  I was hoping to get more school work done, but it didn't quite pan out. Anyways, I did get plenty of other things done: I did all my laundry, did some grocery shopping, I picked up my suits from the Men's Warehouse (as well as two shirts and two ties), hit up the BevMo 5 cent wine sale, did some banking, and even made my way down to campus to print out a historic photo of Doe Library and then proceeded to go the library with photo in hand to re-shoot the same scene for my Visual Studies class.

The exercise was a bit nerve racking.  When I chose this site for my re-photography project, I didn't quite know that the location was a reading room.  I just kind of thought it was a library where people would be milling about.  But, instead this was a place of complete and utter silence.  It was a few tense moments of standing there with my camera in one hand and a torn in half photo in the other trying to align the contents of the photo up with what was currently existing in the room and then trying capture that scene with my camera. With every shutter click I could just feel dozens of once reading eyes now focused upon me.  

I have to admit, the suits I picked up are pretty sharp.  Now, I just need a reason to actually wear them. Men's Warehouse was having a buy one suit, get the second for $100, so I figured with the wedding and the potential to someday again landing a job that was worthy of a suit for either an interview or  client meetings, having two suits wouldn't be a bad investment.  I think I'll put the over/under on the amount of times I wear both suits at about 4.  I might just have to start wearing them on Thursdays just to get my money's worth.
