The Blue Jeans Experiment… January 10, 2009
Posted by Sean in : Fascinating!, New! , 4commentsToday I went shopping at Costco and got a portable hard drive for my media files to free up space on my Laptop for installed programs. The drive is working out great BTW… While I was there, I browsed the clothing section for Blue Jeans and found some very good buys…
Lucky Jeans $36.99
Calvin Klein Jeans $24.99
Kirkland Jeans (Costco Brand) $12.99
My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to buy a pair of each and see if the higher priced jeans are worth the extra money. I suspect the major difference between these, are the cut and stitching etc..
My experiment will be to wear and wash each pair equally.. that is, if I wear the Kirkland Jeans for 3 days before washing, I’ll do the same with each other brand. *(readers, don’t worry, I usually only wear jeans 2 days before considering them “dirty”)
The end of the experiment will be determined by one of the following items:
- Comfort – A clear distinction in comfort will be the first clencher.
- Breakage – Hierarchically speaking, the last jean standing wins!
I also don’t want to obsess too much over this, so I decided not to add any more requirements to this experiment.. Happy experimenting!
UPDATE!!! – 1/20/2008
I just threw all 3 pairs into the wash…!
So far, after the first wearing.. 2x for each pair, and several pairs of shorts later (to explain the last 10 days) I like the Calvin Kleins best, because of the overall fit. I like the Lucky’s second, but they’re a little too baggy, and finally the Kirkland Jeans third because they are far less “crotch friendly” as the others (I know, too much info, but it’s my blog and I can type what I want, so there 
.. )
Cereal for Dinner… May 12, 2008
Posted by Sean in : New!, Rant! , 1 comment so farYesterday was mother’s day. I spent the evening with my mom and brother and we had a great time.
We went out to dinner and then to see a comedy show. Dinner was great. We had a modest portion of appetizers and a steak salad, then dessert. Dessert was Banana bread with peanut butter ice cream and strawberry sauce. By all accounts we had plenty for dinner.
On the way home @ 10:30 (22:30 hours) I stopped for a breakfast burrito from Rolberto’s (sometimes more generally referred to as Omniberto’s) I knew it was more than I ‘needed’, but I ‘wanted’ it.
As I finished the burrito @ 11:00 (23:00 hours) and took a shower. When I got out my friend Matt called and we ended up going to 5 n’ diner for fries and a butterfinger milkshake (which lasted until midnight (24:00).
I realize that I won’t be able to eat like this for much longer and i’m worried it will be difficult to quit cold turkey since I’ve been eating like this for years.
My Solution: CEREAL FOR DINNER
I’m eating a gigantic bowl of Kashi Go Lean mixed with Kellog’s Crackl’n Oat Bran and Post Great Grains Select (fancy).
The protein count for a serving this size is: (drum roll please) ~35 grams… which should be enough to get me through the night.

Well, UPS built a site to compliment these commercials and it’s super cool!
