Wardrobe updates.

I’ve had a very in-box messages about my New Years resolution. The no new clothes one. I am happy to say I’ve kept my pledge up to this point. It hasn’t been easy. Getting those sale emails from Press, BB, The Andover Shop… Watching prices on items that I’ve kept my eye on fall like the Asian stock indexes. It’s taken a level of willpower I have never exerted in regards to my spending. I feel like I am getting the hang of it though.

Whatever you, dear reader, have been trying to control this year… I pray you also find the power to stick to your plan.

Really?! It hasn't been a week yet.

I get a call today from a store in Palm Beach notifying me that the cashmere blackwatch tartan sport coat they ordered for me has come in.

A few points to think about.

1. This wasn’t custom made for me, I wouldn’t back away from a commitment like that.

2. It’s not really a stock item, they had a batch made up and they already sold the 42r. I expressed interest in it this past September so they made another one up.

3. I didn’t leave a deposit.

4. I can back out, but they may get a little peeved especially if they don’t sell it his season.

So am I breaking my vow of no new clothes or do I get a pass because it was technical ordered last year?

Education update

culturaloffering:

Harvard has done students a great service by preparing them for holiday conversations with cattle back home.  Using a handy place mat in the dining halls, no less.

Now the college students will be ready to set the rubes back home straight on important social justice and international topics.

Harvard explains:

Associate Director of Communications Rachel Dane confirmed the placemats were created by the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in collaboration with the Freshmen Dean’s Office.

“The project came about as we thought together about how we can acknowledge the issues happening nationally and internationally and was intended to provide a framework to help first-year students with potentially difficult conversations during their first visits back home,” Dane told Campus Reform.

This is so absurd I had to check to make sure it wasn’t a spoof.

Nope.

Thanks, Charles.

This is absolutely terrible. A universities roll is to be a place of ideas, this is pure programming! There’s no longer a line between how to think, and what to think. This is worse than that, it’s not even what to think, it’s what to say. WTF.

I have yet to listen to any Christmas music.

This is super abnormal

Same. Oddly there’s no “just have the holidays whenever you’re ready” option. We’re stuck with “NOW.”

I’m idly contemplating telling everyone I’ve converted to Eastern Orthodox and doing it in January.

Listened to the Elf soundtrack all day!
