holy shit it's february
i bought the shoes. they're gorgeous. as mentioned earlier, they were out of my size so i had to go a half size bigger. the width is fine, but they are a tad too long. i think this can be easily remedied by a shortening of the elastic on the slingback portion. i will attempt this myself with the assistance of a friend that is very handy in making things, before turning to an actual cobbler for assistance. i am confident this can be fixed though, i just don't want to spend more money on it if i don't have to.

the reading for my social movements class has prompted me to want to learn more about the UUA's links with the civil rights movements. so i looked up some stuff about our dramatic racial history as an association, and got some things clarified. also, i wouldn't be surprised if the civil rights movement, it's influence on the time becoming one of social action, and the subsequent coming of the "social gospel" movement (where ministers of the black churches were talking more about how "God's children are equal" and "a good christian is one that tries to right the wrongs in society" instead of "the meek will inherit the earth") had a profound influence on the 7 principles of the UUA.
unfortunately, this thirst for more UUA knowledge is in part procrastination from the huge amount of reading i have to do. and it's late on a saturday night and i would much rather be doing other things than read (even though the reading is interesting). however, after a short non-academically-productive break in my sleep, i slept again from 1 to 5pm, took a shower, and watched plan 9 from outerspace. so i've done plenty of things not homework and homework was the plan for today.
enough procrastination. must work.
