On the bright side, I am lucky enough to have feet.

Today at work I kept saying "My feet have not stopped hurting from yesterday, I don't even want to know how they will feel after today."

After work I went and bought some shoes at DSW and even though they were $20, after a 50% discount (whatever that means at a discount shoe warehouse, I have a feeling it's like bargain books at work), I still felt really guilty about them. But trying them on was like night and day. I know I do not wear comfortable shoes but it has never bothered me as much as it has lately. Granted, I have walked 10+miles in the past two days. I actually sighed when I slipped my foot into them.

Last night I was walking home in the dark and up ahead I saw two men walking towards me before abruptly running and hiding behind a tree. I walked on and after a truck rushed by me, they came out from behind the tree.

"Excuse me." said the one with no shirt. "Have you seen a naked black guy walking around?"

The other one was taller, shirted and the douche-ier of the two. He also used the word nigger three times in the conversation.

Apparently, while consuming their MGD 40oz beers, their roommate wandered off. And then the cops showed up and they were certain it was for them though it turned out there were some other partiers a few doors down who were on the receiving end of the cop visit. In the mean time, they lost track of their drunk, naked roommate.

"Well, I have not seen anyone, let alone a naked guy." I suggested they look by the pool and hot tub.

As I walked away, I thought I wonder if we will have these types as neighbors in Tualatin.

Tomorrow is moving day. I could not be more excited. I am cautiously optimistic that I will be done moving by 4pm at the latest.

I am behind on my 10 books a month goal. Not only because of work, but general tiredness at home.

Right now I am reading Shopgirl by Steve Martin. I really like the book but every time I read a salacious passage, I think of Steve Martin playing the banjo. In related news, I think Novella would be a good name for a girl-child. Don't Costanza me out of this name.
