Es ist geradezu obszön schönes Wetter. In eben diesem hüpfte ich vorhin fröhlich zur Post und weiter fröhlich zum Sandalenkauf. Bei eben jenem scheiterte ich. Gnaden- und zweifellos und überhaupt. Wieder Geld gespart, dafür aber keine Sandalen, was nicht so schlimm wäre, könnte ich die von letztem Jahr anziehen. Leider sahen die Dinge aber letztes

Re: Sandals: Do you have anything like aerosoles in Germany? A place like that (a foot-friendly shoe-store) might have more pretty-flats, for example, even though they do carry heaps of loopy stuff and work sandals, too.

Heh. I had a dream last night that I was (miraculously!) able to randomly find two pairs of shoes (one in deep blue, and one in white for some reason) which actually *fit* me! Girly shoes! That fit me! And were only, like, $50 (full price)! <*gasp*>
(I take size 13-womens... which I think is a 45 or so in Europe).

<*sigh*> Such a nice dream

I'm not through with the shoe stores 'round here. I will look on! Because I really, really need a nice pair of sandals without any kind of glitter or high heels or feathers or whatever they put on the sandals these days.

That's a nice dream! I'm walking around on a 41, which can be frustrating enough, shoe-wise, but apparently I'm lucky. Heh.

... Okay, seems like I don't have a full-blown sinusitis, then. Whee! Just some pressure and some pain, but they go away when I concentrate on them. I'm taking some OTC pills which claim they're for sinusitis and bronchitis. They're big and yellow. No antibiotics, though.

And I don't even have a runny nose. Also, did you know that thinking about sex makes you less susceptible to pain? Isn't this simply awesome?

Re: chauvinistic profs: I've noticed they're generally the older generation, but other than that, they pop up in every department. I dunno.

OH MY GOD YOU'RE WRITING POLLY/MAL PORN. You're awesome :D

Re: 41: <*checks conversion chart*> Apparently that's about a 9.5 over here. Well, half-sizes can definitely be a bugger, or so I've heard.
Also: Ye gods. You're 6'1" and you wear less than a size ten? My gods, you've got small feet! (Seriously. There is not even a drop of sarcasm in that statement. You have *tiny* feet for a woman of your height. My gracious...)
My dear, if you were over here, you'd have (probably) very little problem finding shoes. At the very least, you could hit up a payless or something. Can you get Ecco shoes where you are? They do wonderful comfortable sturdy walking sandals that actually look good (in their women's lines, anyway. Their men's lines -- aka the sandals that fit me -- are rather more boring and utilitarian. Alas...)
And, yes. It was a *really* nice dream. <*whistful sigh*> :-)

Re: Not having full blown sinusitis: Oh, good. Strictly speaking, the head-exploding=good thing was from having sinusitis that had then gotten infected (along with my lungs, my throat and my ears! -- Gods,

[latin_doll]

*grins* You're the first to tell me I've got small feet :D Not sure about the 6'1" - I'm not even sure about my height if we go metric - but still. The thing is, mainstream shoe stores seem to carry all the pretty shoes up to a size 40 and a smaller and quite hideous selection for everything bigger. It's got better, though.

I... haven't tried massaging anything, but I shall.

(Will comment on your current fic at some other time; I haven't been in the mood for fanfiction much these days, I'm afraid. But, soon!)

Re: 6'1": Well... You said that you were over 180cm at last check, yes? 180cm = 6'. (190cm = 6'4", which is me). So. I assume you're hovering around 6'1". :-)
And, yes, you do have tiny feet.

Re: Mainstream shoe stores. Here they make nice shoes up to size 10. (42 maybe?) Many store carry nice shoes up to size 11 (no idea), and then stop making shoes all together, and we get to go shopping in the men's section. Again. Or buy drag-queen shoes. ('Cause, y'know, clear plastic 4"-heels with studs on them are *so* appropraite for the office, and so *practical* for wearing to the grocery store... Eugh. Welcome to my pet-peeve. ;-)

<*sigh*>

Step one: Become independently wealthy.
Step two: Hire a personal cobler and get all my shoes specially made.

That would be awesome. :-)

How is the massaging going? :-)

Re: Fic: I look forward to your comments as always. :-) And I miss your contributions to our little fandom. <*wants Latin!Art and Latin!Prose*>
