Twas a delightful New Year. Doug, Steve, Kels, and Katie all came out (well, Katie was already out) to Waukegan. We mulled over what to do cos of not-so-great weather, and decided that, since we had the reservations already, we might as well still go down town.

Well, turned out the weather was perfect. A little breezy, but not cold. We walked around downtown, out to Millennium Park. We had reservations at The Park Grill for 6, but went in at 5 and they sat us, so we just had drinks and appetizers and chatted. The food was kickass, and I had the best apple pie I've ever eaten for dessert.

We then wandered back to the train station and headed home to Waukegan. The rest of the night was made of up Mario Kart, drinking, and playing Cinderella playing cards.

I think most of us took our pants off.

We all crashed around 3:30, which was fine, except poor Katie had to work at 11 Monday, and was up at 8.

The rest of the crew headed out around 11:30 and I was left to my devices (see: video games) for the rest of the day.

Not a bad way to bring in the New Year if you ask me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I want some breakfast.

Fire Fire Fire!

Yesterday morning, as I was getting dressed, my pale purple shirt seemed to go just fine with my gray striped pants. As I looked in the mirror, I was a little skeptical, but I'm sexy, so it was ok. Then when I got to work and saw myself in the full length mirror of the bathroom, I realized that they didn't go together that well. I felt a little awkward for the rest of the day.

My parents got me this sweet tea set from Teavana.

They also included a medley of different teas. A few white teas, a green tea, a black tea, and a red tea (which I didn't even know existed) . So far, I've had a black tea that had raspberry blossoms in it (excellent) and white tea with cherry blossoms (amazing) and this morning a red tea with toffee, chocolate, and hazelnut in it (divine).

I was a tea guy before, but now I'm truly a lover of teas.

I'm pretty excited for New Years. Katie, Kelsey, Steve, Doug, and mayhaps Poole and I will be spending Sunday downtown (assuming the weather is butt-tastic) and we have reservations at The Park Grill, a really nice restaurant right on Michigan Ave. on the edge of Millennium Park.

I believe the plan afterwards is to come back to my apartment and play Mario. Sweet.

My dad turns 51 today. He's old, yet still has alot of spunk. I'm pretty sure he could still beat me in racquet ball. Happy b-day Dad!

Have a great New Year's everyone!

Gray and Purple

Gray pants and pale purple shirts are one of my standbys. If you thought prima facie that they went together fine, you were probably right, and your second-guessing is just a sign of lack of confidence. If you are ever unsure as to what color shirt to wear with gray pants, look at all the gray ties you own/see in a store. Look at the colors they throw in with them. Most often, that's purple. Second most popular is probably blue and/or navy. Black is (almost) always a good top color, as is burgundy, and a less-than bold red or even a pale orange, provided you have the right tie, would also be great. Just be careful to never overdue stripes. Pale pinstripes and striped tie are ok. http://men.style.com/gq/fashion/styleguy

Second most popular is probably blue and/or navy. Black is (almost) always a good top color, as is burgundy, and a less-than bold red or even a pale orange, provided you have the right tie, would also be great. Just be careful to never overdue stripes. Pale pinstripes and striped tie are ok. http://men.style.com/gq/fashion/styleguy
This doesn't make me ghey.

Gray and Purple

Gray pants and pale purple shirts are one of my standbys. If you thought prima facie that they went together fine, you were probably right, and your second-guessing is just a sign of lack of confidence. If you are ever unsure as to what color shirt to wear with gray pants, look at all the gray ties you own/see in a store. Look at the colors they throw in with them. Most often, that's purple.

Re: Gray and Purple

I think the main problem was they gray pants were not solid gray. because of the look of the pants (I don't know how to define them) and the plaid style of the shirt, the clashing occurs.
