the wonders of mislabeling

So, I have a pair of Arizon Jeans that I ADORE. When I went looking for another pair of the same type, I quickly realized they were phasing out that style for....more ghetto-y looks which I hated.

So I went online to buy another pair. Got the same size and the same style. I just tried them on.

THEY DON'T FIT. And when I say they don't fit, I mean they won't even come all the way up. Double checked to see that I got the same size. Yep.

Held them up to compare to my faves --- they appear the same length, but the waist is at least a half inch, if not a full inch, smaller.

WTF??

Did I manage to purchase the lone-pair of mislabled jeans? I mean, I knew the size looked to small by number, but whatever, it's not like there's anything consistent about brand sizing. And I hadn't bought a pair of arizonas for a few years at the time.

But this, this is ridiculous. Sigh. And of course, the size up from it doesn't exist, so if I really want to try to get another pair, I have to cross my fingers and hope that two sizes up won't fall off my ass. And pay the shipping and handling to do so.

At least the levis fit meh.

I've just finished another Farscape marathon. I dunno, I started watching season four last week, and during, I realized that I've rewatched pitifully few of S4 episodes since finishing the series last summer. What a crime!!

I've skipped a couple of episodes, but mostly done chronologically through Terra Firma. Not really anything of import to say other than, ( probably s4 spoilers but pretty cryptic. )

Okay, now I need to leave the nice pretty fictional world in favor of doing laundry and housework. And at some point this weekend, a dren-load of journal article cramming.

Of course, John is still just telling the muse the same line over and over. *kicks him* Come on guys, one month for sweet charity. Work with me here. PLEASE.
