I bought shoes. I didn't mean to. It just sort of happened. No, I'd noticed a couple of weeks ago that a seam on my Dansko clogs had torn, and they were starting to look kind of ragged in general. So I'd been visiting shoe websites and ogling new Dansko clogs. This morning I noticed that the pair I'd particularly liked had dropped by like 50%. So I said screw it and ordered them. Shoes! Why are they so wonderful? Feet are kind of inherently funny, but then you put them in shoes...
I'm excited about my new clogs. I love Danskos. I'm willing to splurge because they're so sturdy. I've worn my old clogs all over everywhere for the past three years. They served with honor.

I'm silly tonight. Yesterday, I forced myself to go to the gym and it partially broke the spell I've been under. I'm less congested, less fatigued. I mean, I'm tired because I tried out some new equipment and it kicked my ass, but it's the right kind of tired, you know?

I quite like Vienna Teng's new album, "Aims." So far, none of her new songs have grabbed hold of me quite the way "Antebellum" from "Inland Territory" did. Though I'm rather fond of "The Breaking Light," which I saw her and Alex Wong perform when they visited Minneapolis in 2011. Anyway, I like "Aims."

I keep tweaking my Yuletide signup, but I think I'm done. I'm sure I'm going to regret some of my decisions, but ... isn't that part of the fun?

Leaving work early tomorrow so I can drive down to New York. I'm going to Comic Con for the very first time! I have no idea what to expect. I'm a little nervous. And worried that someone important will ask me what I thought of the new Trek film, because I'd have to tell the truth. :\
