Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Vortex, Google says it's *67.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm always walking on the outsides of my feet, so I guess I'm another underpronator. I'll have to get those New Balance shoes, I think.

Today I am all about petty irritation. Pick up your feet when you walk! Don't use the bathroom stall next to mine when the other eight are standing empty! Take a step back from the elevator buttons so I don't to have to invade your personal space just so I can get to my goddamn floor! I don't care if the space is huge in this revolving door, if I don't know you, then you don't get to smoove in behind me, jackass!

In conclusion: don't stand so close to me.

Punishingly Intricate

Megan, have you checked out the Shoe Dog?

Oh cool! It pulled up the Mizunos that I have, I'm pretty sure, as being one of the ones that would be my ideal.

I actually don't think that supination is all that uncommon. I have high arches and I supinate. I ended up getting orthotics for running shoes which corrected the problem.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Really, Kat? I have high arches that don't remotely touch the floor and a high instep that means a lot of shoes cut right into the top of my foot. If I walk too much I get shin splints and my heels need to be soaked in cool water.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, it's so nice out here, I just want to sit in the park all afternoon. Ah well.

Supination is the rolling outwards. I remember a podiatrist telling me that people with high arches tend to supinate precisely because the high arch, with its attendant connective tissue, forces the foot more outward than in.

The other things you described aren't necessarily related to supination itself, though they are issues with high arches.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse, me too. Maybe I can get IT to loan me a laptop so I can spend the rest of the day working from Bryant Park.

ION, this sounds way cool, but the lectures are all $25 each. Ouch! (At least the street fair is free.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For all of those Doctor Who, specifically David Tennant fans, the first publicity photo of him as Hamlet.

Woo hoo! I now have a new desktop to stare at longingly have in the background as I do lots of important HR tasks.
