Rojie asks:

What are you looking forward to this month?

Probably the biggest thing I’m looking forward to this month is Taylor Swift’s wedding. I guess it’s supposed to take place over 10 hours (imaging that!) AND with multiple wardrobe changes. I’m sure the ceremony will eventually be streamed somewhere, but it’d be cool if it were broadcast live.

I don’t like to wish time away but I’m also looking forward to the end of July because then it might not be so hot and the days will be shorter, so even if they are hot it won’t matter. And we’ll also all find out what kinds of trades the Twins will make with their 2026 26-man roster. Last year they traded away 38.5% of their roster so I’m curious to know if they’ll top that number this year. The sad thing about all those trades last year (or ironic, I don’t know) is that the team isn’t so bad this year. If they would have kept just 1-2 relief pitchers last year, there’s a good chance we’d be in first place right now instead of 3rd place. But that’s neither here nor there and I don’t understand any of it.

Speaking of hot weather, that’s really the (unfortunately) best time of year here in Minnesota to see what people wear in public. I wonder if people ever know or care what they look like in clothes? I don’t look good in clothes, but I look worse naked so I’m ok with not looking good in clothes. But at least I know it. I saw a guy at the store yesterday wearing jean shorts and a t-shirt. The shorts were alright I guess but it was really hard to tell because the t-shirt was way too small, like three sizes too small, so it didn’t even cover all of his belly. Why? Did he leave the house that morning thinking, “I’m lookin’ good today.” Was it an Amazon Prime Day purchase and even though they didn’t have his size he wanted to take advantage of the sale price anyway? Today a woman at the gym was wearing those tight exercise pants that women wear and what looked like a sports bra thing. Sounds like a normal gym outfit, but the sports bra thing only had one strap. Why? I’m guessing it was comfortable but every time she moved she had to reach up and yank up the side without a strap so I don’t know. How is that comfortable? And it doesn’t end there because I question t-shirt choices a lot. I wear t-shirts that make sense, right? (Of course!) But the other day at the gym is some guy with a ‘Vanderbilt’ t-shirt. Nice choice, bud. And you’ve got money. Who cares? Why don’t you just wear one of those ‘Hello my name is‘ stickers so we all know to be impressed?

Who knows though. The gym is a desperate place and maybe he’s out there looking for someone who’d be impressed by a Vanderbilt alum, and maybe someone on the other side of the gym is out there looking for someone who’s rich arrogant phony shallow proud of their alma mater?

Am I judgmental? Maybe a little?
