(no subject)
I was going to go see Mary Bue tonight, but I discovered none of the busses near me run Saturday nights. Normally, I would just walk (it's kind of a trek, but not bad), except I failed to plan my day in a logical fashion, meaning I already did that entire walk and then some, so my legs are tired from walking gingerly on snow and ice.
Am trying to buy boots. Since I walk a lot and have crappy ligaments, I need boots that are as shoe-like as possible, while retaining all the advantages of boots (namely warmth, waterproofing, and good traction). I am getting the impression that I would have been better off shopping at the beginning of winter. I feel bad b/c I just got hiking boots last winter that were supposed to serve as winter boots, but they're only ankle-high, slippery on ice, and slightly crappy. Maybe I should just get some gaiters and shut up. Or some big clunky Neos. I had somehow imagined that after work today I could just walk down the hall to Trailfitters, find something in stock, and put my Fitger's gift certificate towards it. Clearly, I was delusional.
All that said, it is pretty awesome to commute to both of my jobs by walking.
The girls I am living with seem to be used to heating the place a lot warmer than I'm used to. At first I was worried that it would be hard to convince them to turn down the thermostat and remember to always adjust it appropriately. Instead, I have decided that living in a warm apartment will be my luxury this winter. I work so much, I might as well be cozy and comfortable during my down time at home.
A few weeks ago I used some of my parents' credit card points to buy a Best Buy gift card to buy a digital camera. I am still learning how to use it, and probably will be for some time yet.
This is what one of the snowstorms a few weeks ago looked like.
I think I shall now go fasten some stuff to my walls.
