i just hate bright light, indoors or outdoors.

yes when it comes down to comfortable things shorts are good!
but if you compare them to a normal length pant, the short cant win!

It's way too common in the states. You can still go to the finer restaurants and find quiet, but most of the places the masses go all have some kind of TV going.

They're not always appropriate, it's true. Case in point, I interviewed a prof last week who was wearing shorts in his office. But then again, he was also wearing his polo shirt tucked into his shorts and had a belt on, and sported bright white Nike shoes w/ white athletic socks. So... .

Oh, you're allowed that power move :) (besides, I like your specs - they need to be worn out and about as often as possible).

cant find any words desribing my feelings about that image in m head right now

I saw that in some kind of Sports bar/restaurant in Ohio, but I just assumed it was a sports thing. For it to go on more generally is quite sad. Takes the whole TV dinner thing to a new level.

i hate shorts on men.

thats what I was trying to say

and if yr a chick

hot pants or really short cut offs is the only way to go.

Yes, and the regular sight of Melly out shopping in his high-cut satin disco shorts, even in the pouring rain, is one that will forever haunt me.

Okay, a couple of non-fashion oddities to report. One comes straight from my personal life: I've been assigned to write a story about a gun-proponent professor, that is, a prof (not the same aforementioned) whose research is all about how gun control is wrong. As you know, I'm totally of the other mind.

Secondly, I just learned that Daniel Craig, who plays the gun-toting James Bond, is reportedly afraid of guns and is actually an anti-gun proponent in the U.K.

Pfft, you're just jealous cause you dig my cute ass, sweetie :p

I don't so much find this odd, as utterly fucking annoying: small children in pubs! This drives me mental. A lot of adults go to the pub to get away from kids. To find yourself being surrounded by the little fuckers while trying to do the Sun crossword is hell itself.
