Wear: Cheap Monday Fall Line
Outta Stockholm, Cheap's just-dropped Fall includes two regular-fit denim styles (the black-washed "Alive n' Dry" and aptly named "Gray"), hooded & mid-thigh-length TOR parkas, and the metallic gray "Leo" jacket w/ four velcro'd pockets, which looks uber-similar to the outerwear DeLorean put out in the 80s (are you gonna tell a guy who makes gull-winged cars he can't make jackets?).
Eye gorge on the sweet gear at CheapMonday.com
Drink: Half-priced Le Lan booze
Every Wed starting tonight this upscale "Frenchasian" resto's going half-price on 7 signature cocktails (Knob Creek Cherry Blossom Manhattan, Yuzu Gin Fizz, etc), 15 wines, and 4 sakes, including "Snow Maiden" and "Bride of the Fox", who Matthew dumped for a hotter, younger sake after hitting it big with Party of Five.

Click: Five Thirty Eight
Founded by a UofC alum/Baseball Prospectus stats guru, 538 handicaps the election using fancy math (aggregate polling data, recursive simulations, etc), then populates the info into easily readable, updated-at-least-once-a-day charts & graphs like Tipping Point Scales, Super Tracker, and Return on Investment Index, representing the marginal return for spending an additional $1 in a state (hint: don't bother with W. Virginia...but you already knew that).

Buy: ZigZag Bookholder
Pull a book out of this stainless-steel alternative to bookends, and it'll tighten up around your remaining tomes. The device only holds four books total, totally letting you off the hook for watching all that TV.
