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.

you confuse me. why are you going to pisa? who is they?

the asstronaut episode is my favorite one. i really hope you know what i'm talking about. that show is fucking genius. your username and the thx 1138 reference are the only things that make sense to me in your comment. reports of my brain are greatly etc.

My dear, as a member of the literati, you should know it runs:
"who ARE they?"
And you know the answer would never help.
Just know that Pisa e mite as my messenger informed me.

Indeed, we know "what you are talking about" as one says, in the parlance of our times.

You have heard my opinions of translators earlier today.
Honestly, my dear, I work 12 hours a day, explicating unspeakable mystery.
In my spare time, I obfuscate the mundane.
