the pattyo

I suppose some folks will disagree, or think this is totally corny. But I like it. So there.

I received an ad for a shoe that Endless was calling the “anti-shoe”.

Hmmm.

I looked at the picture.

It is anti-style
It is anti-attractive
It is anti-appealing

But “anti-shoe” … I dunno. Looks like it goes on a foot. Looks like you are can walk with it on. I think that makes it a shoe.

Wow, though … look at what this shoe IS:

MBT shoes are physiological footwear – the first footwear that has a positive effect on the entire body.

And all for only $229. 95.

and I’m sore, but I do believe our garage is cleaner than it’s been in, well, maybe forever! :-)

I’m at the “Back Perch”, which is a little coffee stand at UCSC. I have been coming here to kill a few hours while Jameson is still in class, since he comes home with me on Fridays. Only once has the stand had the sandwiches they say that they have. Today they really had nothing left by the time I got here, aside from coffee. So it’s a latté lunch for me.

The more troubling thing was that when I said, “You never have sandwiches when I get here,” the person running the stand said, “Well, it’s Friday. This is the end of the week.” and the way she said what she said made me think they order it all on Monday and I’m not getting a fresh sandwich if I DO get one. Hmmm. I wonder if it’s true.

I really wanted to support the folks who run this, since it was started by some UCSC music graduates. But, alas, I’ll be visiting the Hungry Slug next week. Things there are made fresh. I think that’s probably a better bet.

Meanwhile, I’m sitting in a large somewhat chilly room having my latté lunch, doing computer work (yeah, like blogging is work), and listening to some UCSC students talk about how they hate Angelina Jolie. The way they talk it’s as if they know the woman. Silly students.

It’s very drizzly outside. I’m sure a lot of students are missing the very sunny — too hot for me — weather of last week, but I’m loving it!

It appears that someone has stolen one of our credit card numbers. How darn annoying.

I can’t help but wonder if it was stolen by the people I bought some photo paper from online. They kept my card number on file without telling me they would do so. Hmm. I did tell the person at B of A about that. She didn’t sound interested. But I suppose her job is merely to cancel our cards and get new ones shipped out, and the fraud department will have to do the investigating. This is the second time I’ve had a card number stolen. It makes me nervous.

A New York surgeon’s demand for the return of the kidney he donated to his now-estranged wife — or at least $1.5 million for it — has transplant experts wondering what he is thinking.

So she had an affair and divorced him. He’s angry. And hurt. And wants his kidney back, doggone it. I guess he hates her enough to kill her.

What if they allow him to have it back? What if she then dies? Could he be convicted of murder?

I read it here.

I don’t think I’d want him as my surgeon. Just because.

Dan is right. Dan is right. Dan is right. Dan is right. Dan is right. Dan is right. Dan is right.

Okay, enough already.

Dan suggested I try Smartwool socks. They are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever had. And cute too.

Dan is very smart. Dan is very smart. Dan is very smart. Dan is very smart. Dan is very smart.

Gee … did I have to go there too?

Sigh.

Anyhoo*, great socks. Not cheap (although I’ve found some sales at a few sites), but I’m going to bet they last a lot longer than all the cheap socks I bought at that quality store, Target.

*Have you noticed how some people spell “anyhoo” incorrectly? They spell it “anywho” instead. How rong can they bee?

How cute are these people? I just happened across them while in SF yesterday. ;-)
