Adventures in aural recognition

I think I've discovered something about the flute. When I play it, I expect my nice, full clarinet tone to come out. Unfortunately, not being a clarinet, that's not going to happen. So, flute noise comes out of a flute, brain! Clarinet noise out of a clarinet! Get it straight.

Also, I really need to stop buying pants a size too big in the waist. My hips fit in there, but I probably shouldn't be able to pull them down without undoing the fly. If only pants that are supposed to hit the natural waist didn't hit me an inch above that, which is my rib cage and not my waist. That makes me look sort of short and squashed, instead of just short.

It's all about finding a tailor - otherwise I would have to wear skirts every day so that my pants didn't fall off.

The thing is that I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, so I'd feel bad about paying a tailor to take in my pants from Old Navy and Target. Right now I just suck it up and pull my belt tight.

I'm totally with ya there on the pants. If I wasn't so poor (and cheap) I try those new pants at Lane Bryant. 'Cause they finally seem to have figured out a solution to a >10" difference between my hips and my waist.

I'm average height, but my waist is very high. It's....annoying.
