International Peter Jackson Day

I like Facebook, it tells me things I want to know. Recently, as in just now, I saw a link on Facebook to a ‘International Suit-Up Day’ event. The idea is people dress up in suits and act classy and try to be cool. I don’t see how people think this is a good idea, very few people in my opinion can pull of looking good in a suit; Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, James Bond no doubt. Joe the Plumper average does not look good in a properly fitted expensive suit let alone his only and favorite over-sized Peter Jackson number.

Yea, that's the stuff.

I don’t understand why people would subject themselves to this sort of punishment, do they simply not realise that an oversized suit makes them look like a rather dull time-traveling David Byrne without the strange charisma or musical genius? I look at the facebook event thing and there’s a photo of that player guy from ‘How I meet your mothers,’ do they think that somehow by wearing a (Peter Jackson) suit they will suddenly become suave.

Sun day.

If I spend a whole sunday eating cake and sitting on the couch watching tv, BUT do it at somebody else’s house, does that count as me being out and about or does it count as an ‘off’ day? I think maybe it is a bit of a gray area. Sort of in a weird social spot at the moment, spent like almost all of last week hanging out with one fancy lady or a couple of other fancy friends but I didn’t really do anything zany or partying I jut chilled really hard.

I feel this is probably a good friend since I am re-enforcing and creating serious bonds, and also Rebekah made me cake, but at the same time I sort of feel like I should be out and about doing crazy, arty things that young people do. I really want to own more double breasted jackets with big lapels (via pea coat) and other fancy clothing, sort of wish if people saw me on Gertrude street they’d be like “hey, that Bro is totally chill,” but at the same time I don’t really want to be friends with shallow people like that.

gaysian?

I think maybe appearing externally arty and busy and creative is enough. Maybe I should buy a zine?
