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.

i had a much-loved pair of black maryjanes that i wore to death in high school, and a pair of eight-inch high boots i wore to death in college. both were retired only when it got to the point where they were painful to wear, worn and curved at the back of the heel so my knees unconsciously overextend when i stand in them. ow ow.

odd to come back to a brand i felt i outgrew, but funny how i no longer associate them with the angsty kids i grew up with, and instead with the normal people my age who just like good shoes :)

those 8065s are some of my favorites. so perfect for everyday. i would get them, except this new idealized pair must be weatherproof on top, since they will end up being my default slog-through-winter shoes as well as my standby work shoes.
