bird poop

2003.10.02 12.02

So I parked my car in this very cool spot I could see directly across from my condo window. I wondered why nobody ever parked there. I found out. Eew. Pigeons apparently roost right above it. This morning a nice little smattering of bird mess was all over the back of my car. Those pigeons need to cut back on the fatty foods.

I just got off the phone with AbbyShot Clothiers, makers of fine movie inspired clothing -- movies like The Matrix Reloaded, for example. The Lobby Reloaded Wool, a custom fitted trench, is my current acquisition objective. I have been walking around with measuring tape for the last few weeks, but finding someone to measure me (and also remembering to ask them to do it) has proven difficult. I just decided I would do it myself... with the assistance of adhesive tape. Good ol' tape, my friend. I'm gonna start taking my roll of tape to the movies. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I'm sure we'll stick together. [gag].

My measurements were as follows: Chest: 36'', Waist Size: 32'', Inner Neck Height: 5'', Neck Circumference: 14.5'', Shoulder Width: 21.5'', Neck to Waist Length: 18'', Sleeve Length: 22.5'', Finished Garment Length: 58'', Full Body Height: 70.75''. I will double check stuff later tonight in the privacy of my own home, but I'm pretty sure I double checked all the weird stuff. The downside to waiting so long is that I am probably not going to have this ready by Halloween. The last guy to request a Rush Order did so this morning, so I've basically screwed myself. Batman is always available, however. I've had that costume since 1989. The cowl is still on its last legs, however. Latex just doesn't hold up over time. I'm going to Houston this weekend and will bring the bat suit up with me. Joy. I will also bring my Michael Meyers Halloween mask. I wonder if it fits now that my face isn't as chubby as it was last year. Hmmm.

No other news to report. The car has been running great. I think I may get singled out on occasion by freakin' crazy local Philly drivers who think they can have some fun by Outdriving The Texan or Acting Like a Jackass. I don't like those games. I can't count how many times I've had to whip out The Finger. Hey, they deserved it.
