dressing by random accretion
Mar. 31st, 2004 09:28 amI woke up in a fleece shirt and athletic boxers. (*Because I'm a Sexual Athlete.) I walked into the kitchen to discover my sweatshirt on the table. I have no idea how it got there. I thought it was lost. In celebration, I put it on over my fleece. Then my feet were cold, so I put on my knee-high blue-striped toe socks and pulled them right up. This gave me Muppet Feet, which is a little disconcerting early in the morning, so I put on a pair of lumpy IKEA slippers overtop. (You can wash IKEA slippers, but I don't know that you should.)
The sweatshirt was doing its work, so I took off the fleecy through the arm of the sweatshirt -- one of my best useless talents is Changing without Undressing -- and then, feeling selfconscious sitting in front of the computer reading blogs without any pants on, I dug a pair of wrinkled cargo shorts out of the laundry, where they've been since last summer, and put them on.

IN THE KITCHEN
You are in your kitchen. The dishes have recently beed done, but not by you. The butcher-block table is lovely, and has a charming list to one side, where an enormous cat is sleeping with his tail in your cereal.
You can also see a sweatshirt here.
