I'm suspicious of bringing more than two pairs of shoes on most any trip, ita. Maybe a pair of flip flops for the beach or something, but those don't take up any room. But you definitely can't go more than 3 pairs unless you were in the wedding and had to wear a specific (not fabulous) pair or something.

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

I'm thinking boots to travel in, for weather consideration and most time spent outside. Different pair of boots for the outfit, and then a normal pair to wear the rest of the time. But if the weather is crap, maybe just boots boots boots. Dunno. I forget how I operated in winter.

Ayup. Two nights.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The switch made dates skip forward, not backward. In the UK it was September 2nd, and the next day was September 14th. And then Faction Paradox purchased those missing days from George III and gave him a woolly mammoth, of course.

Way after the fact, but major kudos for the Doctor Who reference. Faction Paradox is quite awesome.

Sarah Palin is a Russian Jew? She can see her family from her house!

This is just the funniest thing I've heard all week.

the shoes you wear on the plane and the shoes for the wedding should be the only shoes you take.

Yeah, ita, I only two two pairs on my 10 day trip to Europe last month! (Granted, I wished I had a pair of flip flops or something, but that's beside the point). I took three pairs on my 17 day trip around the world through winter (New Zealand) and summer (Egypt and Vietnam) (warm shoes, sandals, and flip flops).

I'm all about minimalist packing--I was reading an article/slideshow in the NYTimes about a flight attendant and packing for a 10 day trip in a carryon...and when I saw how much she packed I was SHOCKED--why would she need so much clothes?!?

I heard a guy on NPR today say the best thing about Sarah Palin. He said, she doesn't have a political strategy, she has a media strategy, and her media strategy is to say things and choose words that will make liberals upset. That is the only thought put behind what she says.

The media has no ability to deal with trolls.

What's the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pit Bull? Eventually the Pit Bull stops whining. I think from Bill Maher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet New York is fine, snow-wise, if that's what you're concerned about.

I bowled tonight for the first time in like 20 years. It was fun! Candlepin, obviously.
