so i abandoned my nano novel. my heart just wasn't in it anymore---i am so bad at giving up my evenings and weekends for a project i have a love-hate relationship with. mainly i am annoyed because if i choose to do it again next year, i will have two completed years and one missed year, instead of a nice steady string of three completed years. oh well. partly i think the smutfactor of the story made me sad, made me reluctant, made me feel like i was cheating. farewell, dora!

.

meanwhile the shoes i ordered from sketchers.com arrived and they are ass ugly. i am so disappointed! the shoes i bought from them three years ago were awesome and perfect, and i guess they don't make them anymore. the old ones have cute sort of squared-off toes; the ones that arrived have ugly rounded tips that are too narrow and make me feel like an especially well-heeled maid. :( so i am returning them and next i am going to try ordering one of these from docmartens.com instead:






sigh. why is finding a plain yet pleasing pair of women's oxfords so damned hard? stupid fashion world.

they are good for walking (no heels) and look nice enough with any outfit so i can wear them to work & then change into heels when i get there, or stay in the oxfords. also i am on a quest to replace the old sketchers pair, which are crumbling to pieces and bad to walk in now.

also, i am ridiculously exacting about what i want in this future perfect pair of shoes. and it's unbelievable how many not-perfect pairs there are out there.
