I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I thought it was gonna be that thing where they shoot a...um...I don't know. Current or something. Anyway, through lucite and it makes these cool feathery (thinner than a hair) treelike tunnels. A guy at work makes those for fun. But anyway, that's cool too.

Man, I leave town in a little over 2 weeks and...well, it isn't looking good at work. I keep telling people what they need to do to self train (get familiar with the site? Short of sitting next to you while you do it....) and yeah. Not going so well. It is making me realize I do pick up stuff faster than most (one iteration will do ina pinch) and am much more self directed than many. I taught *myself* this job.

Also? While I can write a good instructional doc, I probably have no business teaching professionally.

Man, I wish nannying was lucrative.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I gotta break with AT&T, stat. I fled to Cingular to avoid them, and look how that turned out...

Maybe I'm just imagining this but since AT&T bought them out, I've had more dropped calls. It's still the best reception I can get for the places I'm at so I'm going to stick with them (at least for the next two years).

If the dropped call thing keeps happening, though, I'm going to have to get a land line phone again.

I have a Windows CE allergy, and I don't use Outlook, so I'm hoping I can make a Nokia/Symbian solution work.

I'm trying to get more organized by updating my outlook contacts. I don't typically use Outlook for email but if I can manage to synch everything up, I'll go back to using it on a daily basis. I don't use the internet on the phone yet--just AT&T's Media Net, which gives basic information. But I'll probably get internet on it when I'm travelling.

No one has an opinion on these shoes?

Would you guys say that these were water shoes, or that they're regular sporty shoes appropriate for water wear?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'd probably only wear them at waterline. But I wouldn't look at someone funny if they wore them elsewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it would depend on the sole, etc. You're thinking about them as street shoes?

ION, ever wondered what happened to Baby Jessica or other Kids In The News? Here's info about some of them: [link]

They have a regular street sole. I've tried them on. The only thing that tweaked me was the footbed was kind of rubbery, athough they do claim it's breathable. I just am prone to sweaty feet (which why I liked the mesh so much), so I was worried that it was meant to be worn in the aster and not just around.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

They struck me as water shoes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'd consider them water shoes, but I don't see any reason you couldn't wear them just around.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think you can wear them around, even though they seem made for water activities. They might not be as breathable though as a similar shoe not made for water activities.
