Just buy one. A cheapish one will cost you two or three times as much as renting plus you get to own a tuxedo, which is one of those fun things to do with your time.

[Choop]

it is always awesome to wear a tux jacket. with sweat ##### and a scarf.

[rowboat]

holy fuck, I overdrew my bank account.
Um, I somehow have spent twice as much money in the past month as I spent last month, and that month was more than I had ever spent before due to costs of moving into our place (first groceries, cleaning supplies, furniture, etc). What the fuck. What the fuck.

Like, it is possible that my rent check bounced. Um. Um.

In other, not-serious news, St Louisans: where are some free/cheap exiting places in St Louis? This young lady I am dating previously dated a dude who apparently took her to every cool place in the city. It is turning into like a THING that I must find places she has not been before.

First, let me say that if a new girlfriend openly said to me that it was my responsibility to show her places that her ex never took her to, it would be the last conversation we ever had. I mean, that's usually sort of understood. To hear someone actually say that would just be too much.

But moving right along, how a girl feels about CBGB is usually a pretty good barometer of how worth your time she is. Not that it's the best bar in town, but go on a weekend when bands are playing and you'll at least find out how much she's willing to deal with. Good to know. But if she's at all cool she's probably already been.

Saratoga Lanes bears mentioning. 

Oh, wait - I'll bet you anything she's never been to the Grey Fox. If she can't dig the hell out of the absurdity (and unconditional hospitality) of one of their drag revues, she's probably a dud. I know from personal experience that they love when straight couples are in attendance. They have a lot of fun with it without antagonizing.

As far as cheap and cool goes, that's all that immediately swims to mind. If you can scrape up a few (many) extra dollars, a girl will never forget being taken to the Top of the Riverfront. Mine hasn't, and that was six years ago.

Today, I'll be firing up the browser every few minutes, to look at this picture.

[theinevitable]

oh, she didn't say that, I just have a really unhealthy mental life where I constantly think I am competing with this dude. She always acts very appreciative and at some point it comes out "oh, yeah, I mean, I went here last year with (guy), it's really great definitely."

We cannot go to bars because she is not 21, unfortunately.

She hadn't been to Crown Candy Kitchen, so that was good. Or Antarctica, but I don't know if that was a good thing.
Next week she is taking me to Pappy's, apparently it is a Goddamn Shame that I have never been there before.

This morning she told me something super-charming that she wrote about me in her diary (!?) and I immediately forgot it. I always forget compliments that people give me, it's horrible.

As we speak, I am realizing that the dude in my writing class with the weird mustache and goofy opinions about drug legalization is a DJ at the radio station. Probably could have seen this coming.
(Drug Legalization is not goofy, bringing drug legalization up like once a week is goofy).

Whoa. If I'd know that I wouldn't have said anything. I'm definitely not an expert on places where drinkin' ain't happenin'.

A tip: CBGB ain't exactly checkin' IDs at the door. Illegally buy her drinks there and seem dangerous.

[theinevitable]

yes! She would either love that, or get really anxious.

lately my metabolism is reacting weirdly to alcohol, such that the other night I got drunk off of 1 beer on a full stomach. So we'll see about going to bars.

OMG Did you see the baby anteater!

Have you been to Laumeier Sculpture Park?  It's free and very cool.

[AugustWest]

Gus's Pretzels is also worth a visit.  And World's Fair Donuts.

[theinevitable]

Me and the girl have both been to every donut place ever, they are all very good. Our favorite is John Donut in Soulard, because it is open from midnight to noon.

Laumeier sculpture park is indeed awesome.

After like 3 weeks of no internet, suddenly my computer has decided to start connecting to the wireless network. It is funny I guess that yesterday we called to switch internet providers, so now it will turn off again.

This morning, I am thinking about how I used to look at the new Achewood every morning before high school.

WTF, this bro took her to every record store, donut shop, giant ancient mound, thrift store, park, and weirdo art thing in St Louis, but she has not been to the city museum!?
DONE, DECIDED.

[bluemoon72]

Today I'm gonna lay it all on the line, and feel much better as a result.  The outcome was what I expected, and it's good to be open and honest.  I feel happy and at peace. 

Ah, who am I kidding, I feel like shit.  I'm still glad I said something, though.

This morning I helped a friend with a similar situation.  It wasn't a marital problem, but a confrontation nonetheless.  I was just there to provide moral support.

[bluemoon72]

Good work.    The support of friends is key to emotional health.

Oh, hell yeah. Why didn't I think of that? So obvious. So awesome. And they just opened the roof! Go while it's still nice.
