2004-03-11 - 10:41 a.m. This just in: Mojo Nixon is quittin' showbiz. 'Kay, bye! This, too, just in: I am big dork. After a painstaking longitudinal study of underwear (comparing basic, affordable cotton unmentionables), I've concluded a few things. Gap underwear seems to last the longest. I've had one pair that has been with me since 1994. I'm ready to let them go, but still: ten years! That's an achievement. Old Navy seems like it's the same quality as Gap undies, but after one or two years, you notice the difference: frayed edges, small holes. So sad. Victoria's Secret has the best variety, of course: a rainbow o' colors and styles and fabric patterns, but when you get right down to it, their skivvies only last about 3 years and then they start to fade. So, for my money, boring old Gap it is. I saw The Umbrellas of Cherbourg last night: lovely. It defied all my expectations...It gives every indication of being a light and fluffy romance...but ends up being a rather dark tale, with some unseemly moments. I really enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing Jacques Demy's other films. thoughts? (18 comments so far) previous - next blog archive contact
