thanateI'm kind of a fan of this night thing. It's cool and not bright out, which is nice.
But anyway, I made it out of the house briefly, and went to K-mart. And I have found the pair of shorts I've been looking for for some time now. They actually *fit*, have a waist at the waist, end just below the knee when I'm standing, and have cargo pockets with buttons instead of velcro that wears out and looks dumb. The ironic thing is that they're a Boy's size 16 Husky (ie, the largest size in the boy's section). None of the women's pants actually fit in the back, and even the ones that claim to be waist-high are about 3" below my waistline. Hence why they gape open at the back and the inseam is too tight... And the occasional ones that do fit look terrible. Go figure.
