I came close to going to class today.

You dodged a bullet there Lettuce!

Joseph A Bank:  Good or teh suck?  Anyone ever buy anything from this place?  Their website has some interesting sales going on.  Like a whole suit for $130 on clearance type thing.

Light college load - four classes.  Tea at least three times a day, lots of reading. (Currently: The Master of Go) Private study of kanji, lots of anime.  Cat and roommate, occasional visit from a nice lady for tea and discussion.  Alcohol on weekends.  No dining out, so meals are prepared in the home. I don't ride in anyone's car, so I walk everywhere myself. Nothing is ever done in a hurry.  Correspondence with some Japanese folk. 

My family in Mississippi always has some news they want me dragged into- Now this inheritence dispute, now that dead relative needs a gravestone. Both sides of the family are irked that they never see me, but I virtually never leave the apartment except for academic reasons or to take a leisurely walk.  Taking life slow before transferring to Japan, where I will also take life slow. I will never work hard in my life, if I can help it. Everything is governed by the principle of being calming, pleasant, optimistic and slow-paced. Change is disdained, routine is favoured.

Well, at least he's happy.  I could think of a lot worse ways for him to be spending his time.

Making a suit from his room mate's skin.

That dark green province in the north of the Netherlands contains the huge gas reserves that have kept us rich since the 70's. All revenues are taken by the national government,  the province only gets compensated for the earthquakes it causes. It is in fact one of the poorest regions in the country.

hmm...the same is true for the dark green bit of Scotland.

MbM, about half my suits and all my current dress pants are from Jos A Banks.  Never pay more than 50% of sticker price - there will be another sale in a week - and know that they want to make their money on marked up tailoring, but the quality is pretty good.

Oh yeah, they make pretty good stuff, but it's overpriced without the sales.  And they have a shitload of sales all the time.  Very good suits.

Although I've sort of migrated to Charles Tyrwhitt.

I hope you outgrow the not wanting to work hard part. Turns out life has a way to make you work hard to be able to take life slow.

Well, creative handicrafts are never really a waste of time.

Well, in real life making a suit out of your roommate's skin would take a lot of skill.  I mean, how many people even know how to flay and tan skin?
