I have a total love/hate thing going on with Firefly, and I'm not sure why.

Regardless, the important issues here are:

1. Heroes is made of love.

2. Flip flops go, "Fwp fwp. Fwp Fwp. Fwp fwp."

This conversation is starting to sound like one of those children's toys:

"How does the cow go?" "Moooo."

"How does the flip flip go?" "Fwp fwp fwp fwp."

I haven't started to watch Heroes yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. I do think I'm going to have to download from iTunes since I'm pretty sure my Tivo has long since deleted the first half of the season.

Yeah, every time I watched it, I would rock back and forth moaning, "I don't understa-a-and."

In the future, ice cream is ON A STRING. It's very simple, Strega.

I think NBC.com still has all the episodes on their website for free.

I continue to be baffled at anyone who can wear flip-flops (which are still called thongs in my head, but not outside my head, so as not to confuse them with the undergarments, even though the undergarments also cause the same bafflement) without experiencing excruciating foot pain where the slidey bit goes between the toes.

I need to watch the first half of Heroes. I started with Hiros, and haven't bothered to catch up, because this way, I figure I still have at least five episodes before certain characters start to annoy me, based on friends' reactions.

You develop a callous (is that how that is spelled?) between the toes. Maybe not so useful in the Pacific Northwest, but I would have freaking died without flipflops in the southwest, so I put up with the breaking in period.

Do callouses help with the bone bruise feeling? Because that's what leaves me wincing with the things. They make the space between the toes feel like it's been battered by a Bond baddie. As a kid, I just wore Saltwaters or barefeet, and as an adult, I have an assortment of (I shudder to admit this, but they fit and are comfortable) Birks for hot days.

Plei is totally me wrt flipflops/thongs. I even have the Birks.

Perhaps it is just getting used to them in childhood. I have no callus between my toes, but my big toes are well separated from the rest, and I can't remember flip-flops ever hurting. I tried Tevas once a few years ago, but the band across the base of the toes was painful (which was odd, because they aren't that different from the ones on flip-flops), and the band behind my Achilles tendon hurt even more.

I used to hate flip flops for that very reason too, Plei. you need to find the right kind. i got these awesome ones at Old Navy a couple of years ago made with corduroy-like material and they don't hurt me at all and have made it so i can wear other kinds of flip flops without any pain.
