for the past 5 years, i’ve been wearing strictly button-up jeans.  i’m not exactly sure why i prefer them, but i guess i never had to worry about any faulty zippers and the problems that may arise from them.

i’m broke and i went jean shopping the other day.  i bought 2 pairs of levis, the slim fit ones.  they are comfortable!  i like the way they fit, drape, everything.  i might even buy a couple more pairs.  they were on sale for $25, so i couldnt turn that deal down.

but they have zippers, and i’m having a little trouble adjusting to them.  i found myself about 4 times this week with my zipper down after leaving the restroom at work.  my first instinct is to button up, and i guess my brain is satisfied by just fastening the top button.  i’m also afraid the zipper might make any unwanted contact with my privates;  i normally go commando, and buttons were never a issue in that department.  i dont know, maybe i’ve watched too much “there’s something about mary” in the past weeks (it’s been on a lot on cable these days).
