Didn't we have a shopping date before? Under almost the exact same circumstances (where I'd worn through or ruined a pair of jeans and was down to my last one)? I remember you sighing a lot. Maybe that was just a dream.

On a related note: I've been playing a game on my Nintendo DS. It's a Japanese RPG, full of pop culture references I don't understand, bizarre emotional outbursts, and things that are weapons-grade "cute." Rather than things like armor and weapons, you have clothing and accessories, each which provide different character buffs depending on combinations of brands, matching, and popularity of different styles in the areas you're playing. Much as I dislike the system, it's probably the closest I'm ever going to understand fashion. If only they put things like "+4 Bravery" on labels... or if there was an icon in the top left of my vision which told me if I'm wearing a strong or weak brand.
