1) i am a nerd because: ______________.

2) i am excited because: ______________.

3) i am apprehensive because: ____________.

4) i am procrastinating because: ____________.


1) i found out that the next artemis fowl book comes out 07/15 and i am REALLY excited for it. eoin colfer is great, even if he doesn't spend as much time on exposition as a length-and-detail-junky as i would want. also, garth nix's next book in the 'keys to the house' series comes out soon too. if i can find them cheap, both shall be bought and devoured shortly thereafter.

2) i get to leave work soon! and we have a pretty cool show tonight, you should come. 8 pm at the under st mark's theatre, st mark's btwn 1st and 2nd. and we are having a fun BBQ/partay at jill's awesome summer sublet tomorrow. i can't wait! yay summer!

3) i am apprensive because i am going to go try on some flip flops on for the first time since i first tried them on and threw them off in a fit of pain when i was 5 or 6. also, i am all weirded out today because i had a terrible dream where josh patten was a druggie who broke into my apartment and stole some of my stuff... but then i was watching a quentin tarantino zombie movie (in my DREAM, it was a scary movie... i don't even like scary movies, why would i make up a whole one in my dream?!) and then later i was sitting with some other improv types at a bar talking about how we were going to get josh help? what? anyway, it really freaked me out and i didn't get much rest as a result.

4) i dunno. it's a heretofore unchangeable personality trait of mine. i procrastinate about nearly everything. even about fucking retarded shit like going to the bathroom. i suck.

this blog title is now all the more apt.

see? now i HAVE actual ruby sneakers. i had a red pair of the same style, but they are fire engine red and that just wasn't quite right.

I LOVE SAUCONY! THEIR SNEAKERS ARE LIKE WEARING CUTE PILLOWS ON MY FEET! YAY!

one thing i think about a lot (because i am strange) is that it would suck to run out of sneakers in a post-apocalyptic world. wrapping rags around your feet is an entirely unsatisfactory replacement for the cushiony goodness of a great pair of sneakers.

for that reason, and that reason almost exclusively, i stand firm for the status quo. don't rock the boat, people. i mean, i will stand steady because my sauconys have great grip and provide a solid foundation for my feet on whatever surface i happen to be standing... BUT i don't want to disturb any of the economic and social structures that allow me to easily purchase colorful, vaguely retro sneakers, alright?

it is unpleasant to realize that you would sell many of your abstract freedoms for comfortable feet.

this blog took a surprisingly dark turn.
