Wednesday night was one of the few times in life that I appreciated the existence of a large apparel corporation.

My pants length is 28, and I was having a really hard time finding jeans of that length at the San Rafael mall. Most stores only carry lengths of 30 and above, and I was getting annoyed until I walked into Gap. They have a huge selection of jeans, and they even had a size suitable for a 5'6" guy.

I also got a $120 jacket for $20, and then got a $10 discount for giving Gap an old e-mail address...

Yes, I realize that I sound like a girl in this post. But no one's ever accused me of being metro, so I'm not too worried about that.
