I seem to have a problem with shirts getting dirty in the washing machine and dryer. Once every, oh, six months or so, I pull a shirt out of the dryer, and it has some sort of brown-ish stain in various places.

Do any of you have any experience with really strange stains appearing on your nicer clothing while you're washing them? This has happened with at least two different washer/dryer setups in two states, so I don't think it's prudent to make that sort of a correlation.

Now, since my shirts keep falling victim to the cleaning process, what else is there to do but buy more? To the right, you'll find the three shirts I purchased on the web this past weekend. I also bought a new pair of jeans, which is always a dodgy prospect over the web, but I've never actually been let down by it.

I can rarely bring myself to leave the house for the express purpose of shopping for clothing, so actually deciding to buy new things to wear is a big deal for me. Since I moved to Pittsburgh, I've bought a leather jacket, some shoes, some boots, and some snow/ski wear. Not much.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting the new clothes. You are sure to see them at some point or another.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm officially moving into Katy's house this Friday. The movers are turning up at 8 AM (whimper), and they're going to put my boxes in the basement and my furniture... well, somewhere... hopefully not in the basement. Accordingly, Katy and I are going to finish packing my condo tomorrow. It's mostly packed now, but there are still some things in the kitchen and the office, and I still have a bunch of clothing in the bedroom.

Also, the tentative (but nearly final) plans are such that I will be in Argentina with my family the second(-ish) week of June. Now, that's exciting! I can't wait!
