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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wanna see!

The Brain and Bourne: Neuroscience in the Bourne Trilogy — In this special collaboration with MoMA, a screening of The Bourne Identity will be followed by a panel discussion in which the film’s producer/director Doug Liman will be joined by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Giulio Tononi to explore the science behind The Bourne Trilogy.

Ummmm. I don't think there is any. I say that with love, but, also with a general grounding in how psychology (to say nothing of the physics of cars) really works.
