Because by texture alone, this outfit raises more than one eyebrow and a handful of question marks. So.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Come to think of it, my method of getting dressed set the tone for the whole day today, actually--I prepared lunch approaching the fridge with the same, ah, carefree spirit... not surprisingly, I ended up with some pudding, a pickle, and a few shreds of cheese. Yummy...?</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Some days are just like that, though. Full of pickles and a random yellow belt.
