I am determined to find a pair of capri pants somewhere that actually fit me and do not look like slightly too short pants that I must have bought before my recent growth spurt. *snerk*  The problem is, I'm basically right on the line of height between petite and normal clothes, but the only reason I qualify as petite is b/c I have short legs, lol.  Consequently, petite clothes don't fit b/c my torso is proportioned "normally" but normal pants are always too long.  Which is fine with your standard kind of pants, I just get them hemmed, no big deal.  But capri pants tend to hit about an inch above my ankle, and that looks freaking ridiculous, LOL.  I have exactly one pair: they fit perfectly and I love them, but they are my pyjamas, for crying out loud.  I wear them to Pyjama Day and otherwise, they stay in the house lol.  I did find one pair today that might have been awesome, but the store had one size down and one size up from my size.  Argh.  And they were bright pink too, which makes it that much more piss-me-off-y.

So, I came home with the CD Lullabies to Paralyze by Queens of the Stone Age, a cute T-shirt, a brooch, a pair of dangly silver earrings and a beautiful long, multi-strand necklace in silver with different shades of pink beads.  And sunscreen, lol.  Because summer has actually arrived and it went from rainy Novemberesque weather to freaking hot sunshine in less than 24 hours.  Of course, the sunscreen would be the only item that I actually needed to buy, although I do have a general tee shortage so that was a nice find.  I explain the necklace & earrings by the words "clearance sale" and the brooch and CD by "obsession," lol.  I'm addicted to brooches right now and it's that pretty apple green that I can't seem to find a top that fits in, even though I have this great eyeshadow to wear with it, so I needed *something* that shade. ;-)

Queens of the Stone Age is insanely addictive, too.  I listened to the whole CD in the car while driving around and I love it.  It's so weird, lol.  It totally reinforced my impression that I should be listening to it through the haze of something mindaltering.  Hee.  I'll settle for the music itself being the mindaltering experience, lol.

Speaking of music, I'm about fifteen minutes into Spiderman 2 and I'm really noticing the music now that I know most of it.  It's different than when I saw it in the theatre and it was all new. :-)

qotsa, shopping, fashion, music
