Flip flop fantastic

Posted on | March 26, 2007 | 2 Comments

I hate shoes. The toesies need fresh air. I love the textures of my world -  the crispy grass (it’s drying right now), the cool wood floors, the scratchy texture of concrete, the powdery sand. My shoes stay indoors when the heat rises. The books and sneakers hide in the back of the closet with the dust bunnies and large Valentine tumblefurrs (Val is one of my cats — and he sheds like mad — hence, tumblefur). I love my flop-flops. The only problem comes when I try to drive. When I was on 1792, a few months ago, my shoe slipped and hung onto the gas pedal. Not a big deal, I unsnagged it, but it scared the poop out of  me. So, now I drive barefoot. Vader (the Ford Focus) is a stick shift, and the sensation of the engine at my feet makes me happy.  I’m tempted to jump out of the care without shoes on, even when in a shopping plaza. Remember when I told you the little story about the Hummer tapping my bumper, well, that was why I was barefoot. I think I’m still a 5 year old at heart.

Speaking of Vader — he’s become the political-mobile. Some of my bumper stickers are going to piss people off.  It amuses me. I am trying to get my point across, but D had a good point: I should not drive like an asshat. I’m not a nice driver, unless I’m in my own neighborhood. Hypocrisy – I know.
The grad school mess is finished. My future hangs in the balance of the educational system. Three weeks for an answer. I won’t talk about this much. I feel like I will curse myself or something. The midterms are over as well. Those pissed me off, but again, nothing I can do about it now. I am trying to be zen about this.

D and I had a nice weekend. We succeeded in doing jack and shit, but it was nice jack and shit. We: went to Babbos, watched Casino Royale, ran errands, attempted to do homework, talked about my exhaustion and the validity of my medication. I felt a lot better, without the stress and relaxed enough to enjoy my time with D. We did notice that the beagles had fleas. It’s going to be a shitty summer for bugs.

I want to comment on politics, on the state of things in our government, but it pisses me off so completly, it will ruin the rest of my day. GAH! So, I am going to stew in real life and keep my blogging mouth shut.

On shiney happy notes….

RATCHETANDMOTHERFUCKINGCLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this series, in a sick way. This shouldn’t be news, but I know we will buy the PS3 for this game. I want one anyway, but this is the perfect reason to get it. I love this game. Love. Love. Love. (are you getting the point yet?) love…. l …. o ….. v …… e ……

Stardust the movie. I don’t know if you are familiar with the Gaiman book, but it is a good one. Quick read, entertaining. Good stuff. The movie has a rockin cast. I think we shall see this one in the theatre as well.

It’s monday. I need to get back to work, but I hope your monday is a happy one. I have more to ramble about, but my veggie burger calls……

    I may just have to read that book; people keep saying it’s awesome.

    I have two copies – one is illustrated and the other is just text. I double buy books all the time. I’m such a sucker for editions.
