****. I only loose $1 (that was intentional).

HEY MR.IVNIDEIOUS YOU KNOW AR55 (basketball team)? I SAW HIM ON THE BUS TODAY AND HE SWITCHED TO OTTAWAU

He switched schools? I thought he graduated. :laugh:

I remember the one time I ever talked to him. I was absolutely plastered and I'm sure I sounded like a moron.

I was just always awkwardly with Sam when I was with him, never really spoke. He approached ME on the bus today and struck up convermosations. He did graduate but he has two years of eligibility left.

Hopefully he can beat ****faces aka Carleton Ravens basketball.

Especially the higher end ones.
The 100 dollar ones off the rack at Tip Top, not quite so much.

Agreed. There's also a big difference in look.

I can tell in 3 seconds if it's tailored or not. And if it's not, unless you miraculously have the perfect size, it will be noticeable.

I got a decent off the rack suit tailored when I was in England... then started lifting at the gym more.
I can no longer do the jacket up :/

Still hangs well open though. And I've got four wears out of it... hoping I can make it work for November. Then time to buy a new suit.

The high end suits though, wow... I can't remember if it was in Armani or just the Savoy Guild... asked the sales rep what the difference was between the 'cheap' and expensive ones... took me into the section with all the 1200+ quid Italian suits... and let me try a couple jackets on. I would wear those things every day if I could afford them.

Carleton is ****ing huge holy **** I stayed here for a week in 2011 for a ref camp but did not travel enough to understand the vastness.

It's at least 4x the size of all of laurentian.

Hey, that's my alma mate's best feature you're talking about. Take a long walk off a short pier, ******.

It always makes me shudder when I see someone in a completely ill-fitted suit. Not that I'm a clothing snob — far from it, actually — but if you're going to be spending any money at all to look good, why not make sure you actually DO look good instead of just going through the motions?

Happiness is a well-tailored suit. I got three for my job placement in February, and I wish I had more occasion to wear them.

I take back what I said about happiness being a well-tailored suit. Happiness is a fancy Italian microfiber Bespoke jacket.

Carleton campus is magnificent. So sprawly. I bet I could go back there today, after being two years removed, and still find any classroom in the whole damn place.

Algonquin, though? Forget it.

The main reason why I wasn't crazy about the idea of going to Carleton when I visited during high school as I was considering taking Criminology there.

I love the smallness of LU too much.

Weird, I thought carleton was relatively small compared to other universities. Guess I'm wrong.

In other news, I'm 99% sure that I sprained my wrist playing hockey last night. Is this something that needs to be x-rayed or can I just bandage it up and wait a bit?

I'm actually very disappointed that the first provincial or federal election that I'll ever have the chance to vote for in my life is such a ****show.

I will vote because I feel that it is necessary no matter what (and it will give me my right to complain later on :laugh:) but it's like trying to choose between lesser evils.

Yep, same here. I was all excited about my first election and then I got this...

In the end, I think I know who I'm going to vote for.

As much as I think (s)he is not fit to be a leader and is going to make some very questionable decisions, I have to be selfish and look out for what will be best for my situation.

Bleh. :(

What a cool experience this has been even just one morning in.

I don't think anyone realizes how much **** equipment guys do.

When I first started my consulting business almost 20 years ago, I went to Tip Top and bought a whole bunch of suits. They weren't bad, especially after some tailoring but they wouldn't last and looked old real soon. Not a problem if you wear them for special occasions, but on a daily or weekly basis, they don't last.

As I got older I think I got a batch of Calvin Klein suits, which were much better and lasted longer but I was starting to wear less suits at work.

Now I have two suits, a black Zegna and a blue Hugo Boss. They look great and feel great and the big difference is how well they resist wrinkling. You can chuck it, roll it up even, and it will not look as bad as you may think! Usually around Chirstmas time is a great time to invest in a suit.

My buddy picked me up from a bar last night to go to the midnight purchase thing for the game Watchdogs. From what I remember before falling asleep, it looked really cool.
