That reminds me, I need to set up my tax exemption for the Gudintology movement (it's a great religion, you get to select from a menu of afterlives, it isn't very restrictive if you buy some indulgences, and you get a free bathrobe with picture when you purchase your start-up kit).

In shoe (non)news, I'm so glad I think all the shoes Aerosoles are showing for the spring/summer are ugly. I don't want to be suckered into trying to buy off of their website again after the Great & Tragic Boot Tease of this winter.

What a cool site! Is it only Baltimore?
