I did find a pair of white sandals. Judith by Soft Style (a Hush Puppies company). I can't find a picture on the web, and am much too lazy to photograph them. They're not perfect (slingbacks with a bow would have been), but they'll work with the pink gingham, with the lime green gogo dress, and with the blue sundress with white polka dots.

All hail DSW.

I want to have all of my furniture reupholstered without having to pay for it.

That could happen, right?

I'm very bored. Working on a story I must finish, and trying not to get drooled on by The Pony. He is very drooly.

There's probably a home decorating show that has that sort of thing as it's theme. "Ultrasuede for your Sign" or "Upholster Your Neighbor". You should check the HGTV listings.

I just watched Sharpe's Gold and the season 1 Doctor Who dvds were advertised twice!

And now I've put HGTV on and it's that new show about designing by astrological sign.

Why haven't I seen a Feng Shui makeover show on HGTV?

So proud. I need to hit DSW. One of my pairs of $6 Wards sandals (from 7 years ago) tore a hole in the side of my foot. I badly need to replace them. Not much life left in them.

So I just found out that the childhood friend whose art hangs on my walls is a) married and b) mother to a 2 year old Lucia (I LOVE THAT NAME). Which points the boy-you-suck-at-keeping-in-touch arrow at me, but! I'll get to visit with her in a little over a week!

Shit, I'm travelling in a week and have done no prep. Ah well. It's to the childhood home, I can't really forget anything missable.

This is so cliche, but it is also the cliche's fault. Due to the docuwhatever on crossword puzzles tournaments, the Monitor had published a few and I found myself doing them and really liking it. So when I was up at B&N this evening, I picked up a cheapy book of them. And then proceeded to do 8 in 2 hours. Not that I'm good (I cheat-when I finally get as stuck, I look to the solutions, only adding one word then trying to solve from there) but man, addictive.

I have stuff to do. I'm not doing it.

Ditto. Although, between last night and today, I have watched the first 7 eps of Queer As Folk, and decided that a) I like it, b) I really want Michael and Dr. Dave to end up together, and c) Brian is a jerk, but reminds me a bit of Mal.

I also sort of watched the Omega Man, and decided that it didn't hold up well and was not quite bad enough to be good. I thought that movie was supposed to be kind of good. Huh.

I am terribly pleased that you are addicted to crosswords, sarameg. It's not a social actjvity at all (at least the way I do it), but it makes me happy that there are otehr people out there indulging in it.

Brian Kinney totally does look like young!Mal.
