Borrowed Words

I hear some people apologize for their inability to express themselves, and pretend to have their heads full of good things which they cannot bring out through lack of eloquence.  This is a delusion.  Do you know what I think?  These are shadows cast upon their minds by some half-shaped ideas which they cannot disentangle and clear up inwardly, and therefore are unable to express outwardly; they do not yet understand themselves.

- Michel de Montaigne, as translated by John M. Cohen

Fuck, he’s right.

Heck yes, the magnificent bastard agrees with me: ballet flats are tops.

And since it’s springtime, a reminder.  Ladies: burn your capris.  I’ve disliked capri pants since I first noticed them back in high school.  They are possibly the first fashion item I worked up enough energy to actively dislike.  Not quite shorts, not quite pants, completely half-assed and look silly.  More importantly, they tend to make girls’ legs appear shorter.
