when I lived in seattle, I had a mess of housemates and I really wanted a long robe to trek back and forth to the shower in. but nice long flannel robes were really expensive -- they cost more than what an eighth of northwest homegrown cost, and I, of course, had my priorities straight. one night in the crocodile cafe I was drinking with some friends and this drunk indian guy was out of beer and he was going around trying to sell a little satin kimono, which still had the price tag attached, for $20. the price tag indicated the garment cost $80 and was from uwajimaya. the door guy was about to throw him out, and I asked him not to, that not only was he not bothering us, but I wanted to buy him a beer. so I bought him a $4 pint of redhook and he sat down and continued to try to talk me into buying this god-awful sky-blue kimono for $20. then he tried to talk my friend dave into buying it for me. "wouldn't you like to see her in this, I know I would." I told him I'd give him $10 for it, as I didn't have $20. he said that he would give it to me "as a gift between friends" in exchange for my $10. so I got this kimono and went in to see the show. the next day I talked aforementioned friend dave into going with me to uwajimaya, a sort of asian department store in the international district, and seeing if I could trade in the kimono for something nice. I was frightened that uwajimaya, a pretty hoity-toity store, would have some sort of advanced anti-shoplifting machines and that alarms would go off as soon as I stepped in and they would detain me for having stolen merchandise. but nothing like that happened. I found a beautiful, overpriced book of carpet designs from some -istan country, but I was told that I couldn't exchange a clothing item for a book. so I went to the small clothing section, where they had little satin kimonos and long flannel robes. so I traded in the kimono, which I was told was missing the sash but that was ok, for a really long, soft, blue, plaid cotton robe, exactly what I had wanted. the price tag said it was about $70, but I got it for $10 and a beer. |
I take them off after I am done evacuating my bowels. Becuz I dont like to wear slippers in the shower. IF this makes sense it is because I am full of sense. I dont wear anything in the shower except for a shower cap. But sometimes I dont even wear that. When I am done showering I exit the bathroom and pick up my slippers. I then place them in the spot where they belong. Next to my scale. I weigh 118 pounds. I always see my slippers in the morning. They are light red and very faded. Much like my face after a night of drinking and anonymous sex. |
