Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, this is completely random, but is The Lovely Bones the book where the father opens a 70s gift shop, or is that some other daughter-gone-book-follows-parents book I read last year?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I want those shoes in all three colors, but will probably not get them in any.

I'd also like a half-naked Tennant in glasses, but that's less likely than the Fluevogs.

I justify it with them lasting forever and being incredibly comfortable for my feet. Once I get my mini's fixed (snapped off a heel, not their fault) that's almost a decade of shoe. But not this month. Or next, maybe. I've got 5 pairs of flues, and though the sandals are not quite as comfy as the pumps of sorts, they were on serious insanely cheap sale.

I had some other comment, I forget.

The Lovely Bones is a book about a girl who is raped and murdered. It's told from her perspective in Heaven (I think she's Im heaven but not sure. She's def. dead though.) I remember I liked the book despite the awful subject but I don't think I'll see the movie.

Yeah, I remember what it's about -- I just can't remember who this father is in my head!

Sorry, I didn't get your question Jesse. I was thnking you might be expecting a bookstore movie and get something much different. I don't remember what the father did.

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

I don't think anything non-custom and structured will ever be very comfortable on my feet. They're awkward.

I listened to a Scottish actor talk dirt about other Scottish actors this weekend. I had to press her on David Tennant. She had no idea why I cared, but she had nothing bad to say. Whew.

My main issue with shoes is a wide & long toe base, and flues generally do that, so I can even wear their pointier toes. I've got comparatively narrow heels, which is extra fun. Put that all together and most of the pumps out there? Toe cleavage and slipping out of the heel when I walk.

I need to look into getting into the deregulation thing on electric. Think I could save money. Ack, more work.

Did you ask her about John Barrowman? I tend to think of him as American but I think the British think of him as Scottish.
