Yesterday the figure-it-out school was handed a major defeat, and I, admittedly, was at the forefront. Just last week my parents asked how I judge if the day deserves khakis or jeans, a T-shirt, a fleece, a flannel or all three...
...preview audiences with its maze of guy angst. (Since when have guys had angst? Girls patented angst.) The story of a charismatic anarchist (Brad Pitt) who starts up a group of men who beat the crap out of each other for fun, drawing in yuppie men chucking their grey flannel suits for a life of chaos. Other yuppie violence movies have stirred the male psyche recently - American Psycho and American Beauty just to name two.

Maybe there's time to jump in a pile of leaves or two, and then I'll spend the rest of the day picking them off my dirty flannel shirt.

It has all the potential of a "crossover"--an unlikely bridge over the oh-so-wide gap between the flannel wearers and the Polo-loyal, between DHAs and Banana Republic. The trendiness began when she saw a member of the Harvard Snowboarding Club sauntering down Mt. Auburn Street with a bright yellow (gold? orange? it's an indescribable hybrid) t-shirt punctuated with red and blue lettering. She bought...
