The New August
After nearly three weeks of absolutely beautiful weather in Chicago, I propose that September is the new August. September is the most underrated month in Chicago, even though the city decides to close the beaches on Labor Day. I wouldn't be surprised if the average daily high temperature is higher in September this year than in August.
Here are some other "new" things I have overheard lately:
- Wednesday is the new Thursday (overheard from current DePauw students talking about the 'new' bar night)
- 40 is new the 30. (overheard from a 40-something trying to justify his Abercrombie-obsessed lifestyle).
- Florida is the new Kansas (overheard from a weatherman talking about the recent bad luck Florida has had with natural disasters ... yet Kansas has missed tornadoes in the last few years).
- Fat is the new thin. (overheard talking to myself every morning when I look in the mirror).
Any other suggestions? Please comment!

Also, Not-Getting-A-Tattoo is the new Getting-A-Tattoo. Lindsay Lohan is the new Tara Reid. Here are more from the comments section of an old post on my blog: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/kenney/07_18_04/
As I age, I've discovered that 1) sitting on my couch with a glass of wine watching What Not to Wear is the new Friday night fun, and 2) 10:30 is the new midnight when it comes to a reasonable bedtime.
