Favorite Clothes
Posted by harlan on 18 Feb 2008 at 09:38 pm | Tagged as: marking time
You know what I really like about not having anyone to see, or anywhere to go, or anything to do? I really like that I can wear the sweatpants I’m comfortable in, every day. And I can wear the two shirts I really like (they’re identical, except in color), wearing one of them for two days, then wearing the other for two days.
Then I do a load of laundry. And I never have to fold clothes, I just take them straight out of the dryer. And I never have to gather dirty clothes up, because when they’re dirty I throw them directly in the washing machine.
Then, when my sweatpants and both shirts (and socks and underwear, which I am careful to change every day, thanks for not asking) are in the washing machine, I run a load as I go to bed, then throw them in the dryer when I get up. By the time I’ve finished showering and have had breakfast, I’ve got a week’s worth of clothes ready for me again.
This is a great system. Several times, I’ve been tempted to throw all the rest of my clothes, hangers, and my dresser drawers away. Then I remember I can’t do this forever, I have to start looking for a job soon.
I know I should be working on my resume right now. But I get sick just thinking of job interviews.
It’s no fun always feeling alone, but subjecting yourself to the scrutiny of a job interview hardly counts as a friendly get-together.
first!
btw i think that you implied that you sleep naked.
I love your style. That is fantastic! I own more pajama bottoms then any other form of clothing. Wearing comfortable clothes always makes me feel better, no matter what the circumstance.
maybe, I sleep in my underwear. I don’t know why, but the idea of sleeping nude repels me.
Perhaps you should look for a job that allows you to work from home a few days a week?
I thought of that–”work from home”– too Moshizzle, but that would mean that Harlan would be alone even more. I work nights and when you are alone a lot you begin to beg for any kind of human attention. I will talk up ANYONE when I next cross paths with another human being. Even when it’s not right after work. Sometimes we just need human interaction, even though we may hide from it. I am guilty of doing that.
Harlan sleeping nude repels me too.
That was suppose to be Harlan (comma) sleeping nude repels me too. You sleeping nude doesn’t repel me, actually the thought has never crossed my mind until now. Either way, it wasn’t meant as an insult. My grammar skills are lacking.
If you’re not leaving the house, why bother with clothes, at all? As your own nudity offends you (as it should, judging from your past descriptions), you could lounge around in your tighty whiteys all day and maybe throw on a bathrobe when the pizza delivery guy shows up.
I can’t wait to hear about your pancake collection!
Tomorrow, Harlan sweeps the floor and then takes a nap!
Come on Harlan, amp it up. I haven’t been here in a week and this is all you could come up with?
Very disappointing!
Your outfits reminded me of the movie holes, great flick! I have tried your system (the getting undressed and putting directly in the washer) but no matter what I have a mountain of laundry.
How much content do you all think he will have. Harlan is not even leaving his house… Bare with him.. things will get fun again soon.
Harlan… get off your lazy duff and get that resume updated… I will ask you again tomorrow if you have it done.. the answer better be yes =)
_a
Bare with him? No thanks. The less he’s bare, the better.
I use almost exactly the same system, except I can do it while working, since my “work cloths” are the same as my “not working cloths”, and they’re all identical except the shirts are different colors.
According the legend, Albert Einstien also used this system- he owned 7 identical suits with 7 pair of socks, etc.
He claimed to have better things to think about than what to wear. :)
Wow, you know what, my phone totally stopped working at about the same time you must have lost your phone. I tried it again and again without it working. It would try to start-up and then just die.
And then after about a week of that, it just started working again.
So, have you looked wherever you normally keep your phone today? I’ll bet your phone is there.
Pants are totally over-rated.
I don’t think anyone really hires anyone else based on an interview. Don’t worry about it. 90% of the time, the interview process is a sham to justify hiring the person they’ve already decided to hire.
The only way to get a job is to be that person that they’ve already decided to hire.
Sandi, I never told anyone that I was going to have an exciting blog. I write about what’s happening to me. For about a week, exciting stuff happened to me. It was, no doubt, the most event-filled week in my life, and also one of the worst (but for sure not the worst). If stuff like that has to happen to me for me to have an exciting life, I’ll take boring.
Right now, I’m writing about being unemployed and staying home, because I’m unemployed and don’t really want to go anywhere.
I like the laundry system you have going on. My life would totally be like that if the washers and dryers I use didn’t reside in the basement of the building I live in. Makes doing laundry so much less appealing.
