Aimee and I can sit together wearing gauchos and looking fabulous.

Yes, ma'am, we will.

I love my new ones. I wore them in Vegas.

Today is a crazy day at work. I am uber tired and want to leave early, but have a concert to attend this evening. I think I will leave work early tomorrow.

I am wearing my character shoes today. My ongoing boot evaluation is on hold, pending thigh recovery.

I love the character shoes even more now that I've gotten them resoled. Friction. It's what's for dinner.

A few of my co-workers will be relocating. The company's making it very attractive. I will miss some of them, not least of all because I'll have no one to spin tales to of the krav instructors. I feel like building a mythos is in my sweaty little palms. What will I do when I have no audience to regale?

Uh, I mean, much happiness to them in their new digs.

WhatEV.

I have to confess that the gauchos and boots thing has totally grown on me.

What should I have for lunch?

Pirates of the Caribbean, the classic Disney theme park adventure brought to the big screen in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, is adding new characters and features from the blockbuster entertainment franchise and debuting when the next adventure begins in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Both the Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will close the attraction in March to complete the updates in time for the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on July 7. The attraction will re-open at Disneyland on June 24 and in Florida's Magic Kingdom on July 7.

The attraction will feature the addition of two of Hollywood's most infamous buccaneers, Captain Jack Sparrow and his nemesis Barbossa. Joining the wildest crew that ever sacked the Spanish Main, Captain Jack and Barbossa add an exciting new twist to the attraction's original storyline as they race to be the first to claim a cache of plundered treasure.

Is it too much to hope that the exciting new twist is of the slashtastic variety?

But it's the year of the anti-nipple.

I missed the memo! Damn.

I don't entirely understand what gauchos are, or how they're different from capris or board shorts or those gigantic floppy shorts basketball players wear. However, I am of the opinion that, except for actual full-length trousers, there is never a reason to speak of "fashion" and "clothes that go on your butt and have two leg-holes" in the same sentence.

Except possibly "She attempted to fashion a diaper out of Michael Kors's sweatshirt."

I don't want them messing with the PoTC rides. Not to mention I was at Disneyland last month and the ride was closed. t pout

What should I have for lunch?

We just got told that today's free lunch is sushi.

Frankly, I'm not surprised. I do have your name down in the Capri Files already. It was just a matter of time.

I don't entirely understand what gauchos are, or how they're different from capris or board shorts or those gigantic floppy shorts basketball players wear.

In my dictionary, gauchos flare. Capris taper. Board shorts stop above the knee, and have a characteristic style of stitching. Gigantic floppy shorts...well, they're gigantic floppy shorts. They need elastic waistbands, have no tapering, and would probably end above the knee if anyone wore them properly.

I think there are great things that can be done with clothes that go on your butt and have two leg holes, even if we don't count panties and swimsuits. Just that my ideas never seem to be in fashion.

These are my new favorite gauchos. I love them.
