in style

[chestnutcurls]

Man, are my journal colors in style or what? :D I was reading an article the other day about how style has become our culture's new idol of choice. We've forgotten what real beauty and substance is, so we've become hyper-focused on how we present ourselves- not what we really are. The problem isn't new, I guess. It's just new packaging. C.S. Lewis was very wise: "We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he can not imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

I'm very guilty of style abuse, too. I have developed a sudden, desperate need for a pair of dark brown boot-cut corduroy pants. Has anyone seen cute ones anywhere? On sale?

Evan called earlier and tonight we're going to dinner and a movie! :D We had talked about seeing The Butterfly Effect, but now I'm hearing disturbing things about it. So I'm thinking Big Fish. He's so good at making me happy. I'm so undeserving of him. :)

Okay, now I'm really done for the day. :) Hasta la vista, baby.
