What's up with all the sweatpants???

Had to go to Wal-Mart to buy myself a new pair of pants for work, as one pair got a hole worn through the front of one leg. Now, I'm not much of a fan of clothes-shopping to begin with, thus my frustration got doubled when all I could find was sweatpants, leggings, more sweatpants, jeans, *more* sweatpants, velour leggings and even more sweatpants. I guess they were stocked up for the people who decided to hit the gym in the new year. Fortunately, after much molar-grinding and hunting, I found a pair of canvas pants that should do nicely.

Currently re-reading "Northanger Abbey", preparatory to intro'ing Catherine Morland at a certain Mansion. She's excited about the idea, though she's reticent to admit it. Also trying to readjust Muraki to being on request only status: he's not happy about it and he's starting to get restless already (even though he has 15 active threads), which might explain why he's started to stalk the headspace version of Titus Groan.
