He blogs about a sweater

[imomus]

If this were a normal day, I'd no doubt be chattering away here about how I'd dined on Sunday with the fascinating Susan Surface, or lunched on Monday with the charismatic Bob Stein (who founded the excellent Voyager multimedia company) and his associates at the Institute for the Future of the Book.

But since today is my "write the next Wired column day" and I'm right in the middle of churning out a thousand words about something life-shatteringly important before heading up to Bushwick to see Rusty Santos' studio and do some vocals on a new track he's made, I'm just going to be lazy and show you a picture of a new green sweater I bought when I visited Beacon's Closet in Williamsburg yesterday with my friend Junko. Oh blogging, thou art fickle!

And here's an update: me and Rusty recording a track called "The Comet" for his next album, due in May, at his studio in Bed-Sty (not Bushwick, in fact it's me that lives in Bushwick):

What kind of pants is that now again? They look fairly close to thaiwanese fishing pants except they seem to be made by synthetic materials.

They're plastic pants from an Osaka uniform store, probably used by Japanese tradesmen who have to get wet. Plasterers? Dolphin-plumbers?

For those who trade ice in the middle of the summer? "I-only-sell-stuff-when-a-rainstorm-arrive"?
Or.... Fish... Traders?

Fish traders, that sounds about right.

If fish trader's pants is wrong then the pants are hiding a secret yet to be revealed!(Not to be meant as a double entendre).

You've just reminded me

I need more tea. What kind are you having there?

Hikari sencha, the fastest tea in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Rusty's sweater has strategically-placed holes in it. It looks like very good quality, yet it has these holes. I wondered, when I noticed them, if he'd actually taken a very good cashmere sweater and cut holes in it deliberately, to give the impression of being a charming preppy fellow down on his luck, or whether his house is merely infested with moths.

i often wondered that about fellow Columbia students wearing classy jackets with elbow patches. These sorts were particularly plentiful at the Hungarian Pastry Shop on Amsterdam. Down-on-your-luck/humble-pie chic, I suppose, though I found it a triffle annoying.
