Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Vibram toe shoes

Because books.

See, I don't like regular toes anyway. I definitely don't want to see them highlighted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, no open-toe shoes with pedicures?

brillig

here is your beautiful drink. Do with it whatever makes you happy

But what if that included flinging it into the air and laughing maniacally? I doubt that would end well in a hospital setting.

I have a pair of shoes that are made by the toe shoe people but are not toe shoes--they're on the same principles, and have wide toebox area, but no individual toes.

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

Now that I am out of the ICU (seriously???) I should be beyond the reach of the toe shoes. I may sleep tonight.

Let's just say--if you have a choice to be in the ICU, say no. If you're conscious, you're already the minority.

Now that I am out of the ICU (seriously???) I should be beyond the reach of the toe shoes.

Uh, yay? May the procedure go well and may you only be visited by normal footwear.

Awesome, shrift! Was it about #sharknado?

Which, we saw the last 30 minutes of that; which is really truly all you need to see. Especially the last five. Kind of brilliant in its OTTness.

Twitter was on fire tonight about Sharknado.

and ita, I don't even know what to say, because it's all kind of amazing to me. Good luck? May they do their jobs peacefully.
