Oh wow. I've not written here for awhile. Probably long enough to lose both of my readers. Well, in the last week or two I've fake-graduated with a degree in photography from an un-prestigious college of art, convinced a handful of friends to come to my family graduation party, started working more than 40 hrs a week again, gotten roped into Friendster, saw & completely enjoyed the Vin Diesel-free 2 Fast 2 Furious, finally bought some new shoes after like 2 years (more later), went grocery shopping, took some new pictures that aren't up on the website that I haven't updated, & rode my bike, like 3 times.

So about the shoes. Maybe it's not a big deal. I've been going to the Niketown on Michigan Avenue every so often because I want to get some of their skate shoes. The funny thing is that they know nothing about them. When I asked the salesperson where they were he told me that he "didn't think they were out yet." So then last week I went in there & they had these Air Dunk Lows in black/charcoal. (It's called a colorway for the uninitiated which included me until I looked at this) I wanted them immediately. The rub was that they were already out of my size, the ever-popular 9.5. Still no shoes for me. Today, after cashing my check at the currency exchange, I went back, thinking that maybe they'd gotten more in. Instead, they were completely out & the guy looked at me like I was crazy. Then I went to the Urban Outfitters near Mary's job & there they were. The exact shoe that I wanted. The only difference was that they were $20 more expensive. Whatever. My other shoes make me walk crooked because my feet pronate or supinate, I can never remember. Anyway, good story, huh?
