Details. It's all in the details.
While I can detail my quarter-life crises for pages and hours on end, in real life I'm just as likely to focus on finding a pair of socks that resemble ones about which I've dreamed the night before than on a passage by Rilke. So today, my audience of maybe 3, I decided to share with you two of my very important, very superficial, quests. Welcome ( Read more... )
So, what happens when said hoodie finally wears out? (I'm sorry, that was uncalled for, I know.) I can sympathize completely, however. I bought two oversized cotton sweater vests about seven years ago and have nearly worn them to shreds. Ever since I discovered the magic of vests, I've searched for more perfect vests without success. They're always too tight around the hips, polyblend or have crew necks instead of v-necks.
The Perfect Umbrella
What's an umbrella? I heard once that the most commonly lost accessory in Seattle is sunglasses (because they're needed so rarely that people forget what they've done with them). Correspondingly, the most commonly lost accessory in Denver is the umbrella. I think I have one, but I haven't the faintest idea where it might be.
I even have an Umbrella That Got Away - I saw it in Amsterdam - its edges resembled tulip petals and its handle was made to resemble a red tulip.
::g:: I'm sure that it's like finding true love - some day, you'll see it and you'll know that you and that umbrella are meant to be. And it won't get away this time.

As for the umbrella of my dreams, I have no doubt that our meeting will unfold like some movie, including dramatic "true love" score and an outburst of rain to highlight that we were indeed meant to be. Of course, I've found that discovering that much craved item annoyingly echoes what people say about meeting one's "True Love" - once you stop looking, there it is. I hate that saying. Here's hoping that you find good, well-fitting vests without so much drama.
