On the Metro on the way to work this morning, I was reading an article in "Express", the Washington Post's new weekday-only publication, and saw a discussion about "metrosexuals". I also Googled the word when I got to the office. I guess this word is still too new to have a firm definition, but it would appear that in most ways, I'm a metrosexual -- the only notable exception being that I'm not interested in fashion, merely choosing clothing that looks decent and that I can wear just about anywhere, and also that is durable and inexpensive.
Metrosexual. Hmm. I like it. Kind of rolls off the tongue.

Posted by: Moggy at August 21, 2003 11:17 AMWhen I hear the word "Metrosexual", for some reason I think of a couple who habitually screws on a subway car. Hopefully these "Metrosexuals" clean up after themselves. If not, then I think that might be the reason many bus/subway seats are soooo sticky...
I'm gonna b up in Burlington for a week startin' tomorrow...so I might be kinda silent for awhile.
