Sartor resartus

Number of shirts packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 8. Never underestimate your ability to spill food upon your shirt.

Number of pairs of trousers packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 5. Congratulate yourself for the ability to keep your trousers clean.

Number of undershirts packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 6. No one in their right mind changes their under shirt more than once per day.

Number of pairs of socks packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 8. Sometimes socks need changing. Usually no more than twice in a trip--usually after a long walk.

Number of underpants packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 8. Where is my robot body?

Number of tie dye shirts packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 0. I will also not be wearing flowers in my hair. I will also not be traipsing around Haight/Ashbury. I will also not be remembering the summer of love or Ken Kesey.

Number of belts nearly forgotten but packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 1. Belts are generally important devices. I've been without one a few times. Trust me. They're necessary.

Number of umbrellas packed for 6-day trip to San Francisco: 0. Why? Because fuck the rain, that's why.

  1. Hilarious tag.

    Sounds very reasonable. Did you take Polaroids of your outfits so you'd remember what will go with what? Me neither. Just thought I'd conduct an informal survey (of one) to see if anyone actually ever does this.

  5. I saw several of SN's outfits and they were amazingly spiffy. Actually I agree with SN on this point: WTF is an outfit? I've certainly never worn one. NEVER.

  6. Funny enough I wore green on Saturday, not even realizing that SF was having a Saint Patrick's Day parade.
