had time to kill while waiting for greg the toyota van to get smog
tested so he can be sold tomorrow (he passed with flying colors). sidenote: did you know that the
phrase "he passed with flying colors" is metalingual - language that
speaks about language? it is such because the use of the metaphor "flying
colors" implies that a less exciting statement such as "he passed" does
not stress the importance/relief/whatever other emotion with enough
emphasis, thereby needing a metaphor to fully express the magnitude of
the statement. yep. anyway, we had to kill about an hour.
keeping things simple with grey tank from target, go-to gap denim jacket, new but thrifted banana republic trousers, vintage bag that always expands to hold everything, and my steve madden gladiator sandals that have not seen the light of day for some time. figured what with the temperature in the high 60's, fun sandals deserved to replace boots for a bit.
