A year on and the Aladin pants are still here!

Yes, it has been a year and I still see these Aladin pants walking the streets. i have, admittedly, bought into the adult version of them: the fluid cargo pant with elasticised cuffs from Cotton On.
Not as billowy or I-just-pooped-my-pants in style, but rather, fitted through the hips and bottom, loosening from the thigh down.
I like to use them as an alternative to trackpants when I want to be comfortable and casual in public, without looking like I just came from the gym or the couch!
Have I come around to the idea? Perhaps. Will I ever get a full-blown pair, the likes you see with a drop crotch and made from jersey t-shirt material? Probably not.
...And if I ever did, I'd wear them as trackies in the comfort of my own home where my boyfriend and chihuahua don't give a damn if I look like I've pooped myself!

Will & Grace withdrawal

So it's been a while!
Will & Grace: maybe THE funniest show ever made. I never got into Seinfield or Friends so much, so perhaps you'll argue with me on that point.
I have jsut finished watching the full series of Will & Grace. It's taken me about 5 weeks to get through 8 seasons, each with 4 discs, each disc with 6 episodes. I was averaging about 2 episodes a day. Each episode is apporximately 18 minutes long.
love, love loved it!
The dodgiest part though, was when Debra Messing (Grace) was obviously pregnant with her twins in season 7 and they dod not mention it at all! The only references to it were that she'd put on a bit of weight because of her break-up with husband, Leo! Debra covered up her HUGE bump with floaty kaftans, long coats, strategically placed couch coushins and tricky camera angles. C'mon! It was quite funny to watch!
There are so many one-liners I'd love to share with you, but I'll save it for another post. If you ever get the chance to watch the full seasons I would highly reccommend it- especially the live shows. They had me in stitches watching the actors laughing at their own jokes.
What will I do now on a sunday afternoon???
