A Great Saturday transcribed and illustrated

Whisper Slim · 12-05-2006, 12:59 AM

**SOME OF THESE LINKS ARE NSFW. The obvious ones. Use discretion.**

I woke up at 8:30ish of the AM persuasion and fed the cat. Usually when given the chance I'm inclined to sleep the morning away, but in the rare cases like this when I do in fact wake and rise before noon I have the added pleasure of seeing the morning sun (if applicable) briefly and then returning to a warm bed. I often think that it's worth it to wake up unnecessarily early just to enjoy the privalage of going back to sleep. It was a good start to a great day.

Round about noon my girl and I were both awake and taking turns reading chapters from Harry Potter to each other. Midway through one such chapter, someone in the narrative mentioned toffee eclairs, and it sounded so compelling right at that moment that we got out of bed, put some clothes on and went to the bakery down the street to split an eclair over some coffee.

Instead of going back home directly we strolled around the corner to an old school arcade and played a few dollars of pinball and other stuff. We also had the good fortune of finding a dirty magazine on top of one of the racing games.

Since we were already out and about, we figured it'd be a good time to do some Goodwilling, as we'd been meaning to get some more winter clothes. So we headed up in the direction of the store, which happened to also be in the direction of a whole other store where our friend works. This store turned out to be a lot like a thrift store, except that the articles of clothing ran for around sixty-five dollars per instead of like two. So we said hi and left our dear friend to sell regurgitated bullshit to trendy fucks, and we backtracked a few blocks back to the land of sincere clothing.

We browsed for some time, and hauled home about as much as we could carry, laughing between ourselves at all of the pathetic hipsters who probably paid about the same amount of money at Urban for two tshirts and a tight-fitting sweater. It was dark by the time we left, and after dropping our plunder off back at the old studio, I realized that somewhere along the line I had dropped my telephone. So we made the twenty block trek back to Goodwill to pick it up, and again, since we were out, figured we might just as well keep at it.

While my girl was browsing at Nordstrom Rack for some cute panties, I found for the first time in my life a pair of Converse that arguably fit me. They are like water skis, and are too long by a good margin, but since Cons are made narrow they have to be longer to accomodate the span of my metatarsals. A mental battle ensued in which I weighed my distaste of hipster uniforming against the empty feeling I have inside from never actually having had a pair of Chuck Taylors against the excitement of finally having found an inexpensive pair not only in my size but in a color that I like as well! So I got some new shoes.

Then we went back home, and after dying my hair copper red, showering and shaving (finally), and getting some food, we hurried down to catch the late showing of Aronofsky's new movie. After enjoying the movie, we stepped back out into the now freezing fucking cold night and ducked as fast as we could into the nearest place that would feed us hot drinks. We split a cigarette over Spanish coffees, talked about the movie and prepared ourselves for the cold walk home.

The cold walk home, however, was interrupted midway due to our crossing paths with the impossible-to-pass-up all night donut shop, so we stopped in for a Portland Creme and a chocolate milk, giggling a little as the single lady behind us in line ordered a Cock-n-Balls.

The donut made it much easier to enjoy the rest of the walk home through Chinatown, and it was nice to get back to bed. We put on 49 Up, which had arrived the day before from Netflix, and fell faaaaaast asleep.

All in all, spending the day talking and laughing and traipsing about the city with my best friend and lover made for one of the best Saturdays in a good long while.

Bears: Very Wonderful · 12-05-2006, 03:07 AM

Also, this post makes me miss Portland more. I wish I didn't have to go back to Washington on Wednesday. :/

Whisper Slim · 12-05-2006, 02:31 PM

That's good, cause I posted that and then left for work without a followup post, so I probably couldn't've arranged it anyway.

Welshy · 12-05-2006, 11:54 PM

You cant diss hipsters and then go watch indie cinema and drink spanish coffee

you just cant

Whisper Slim · 12-06-2006, 12:00 AM

I only hate them because...

The most I've ever paid for a shirt was 25, and that was at a concert.

Not if you go when theres a sale. I got a really cute $50 skirt there once for $7. And I got some cute jewelry on sale for $2 this time. So ha! Their prices are rediculous, but their sales make up for it.

They are selling you thrift store clothing anyway.
I'm told that in some cases they just embroider or stencil some flourishing little emo design on a blazer or a tie they got from a thrift store and mark them up thirty times over.

Yeah, I know. You can tell what's what though. What really surprised me was when I went to the Levi store and they hed a bunch of thrift store stuff for like $60. You can tell they just found an old plaid shirt or sweater vest and snuck it in with all the designer stuff. But I guess people are willing to pay more than they have to if it comes from a name store.

Bears: Very Wonderful · 12-06-2006, 03:40 AM

And for the record, Zoolights was cool, but probably not worth the price of addmission. I mean, the lights were neat and all, but not near enough animals were out and about.

There was this one awesome otter that almost made up for it. I desperately want my own otter as a pet/best friend.

Whisper Slim · 12-06-2006, 03:56 AM

did you get some wicked smooches or what?

No. The otter was fenced in real good.

Whisper Slim · 12-06-2006, 04:14 AM

great smoochers don't play the BLAME GAME, bvw.

Welshy · 12-06-2006, 04:18 AM

if only you had Dut™ brand tooblips

No fence could hold back your smooches

Bears: Very Wonderful · 12-06-2006, 08:20 PM

If I was still making Mike and Nix, this conversation would have inspired a comic.
