- Having realized that if I do even 30 minutes of concentrated work a day Patty can come home to a shockingly awesome house in July, I've been in serious dealing with the house mode. Oi.

- Torchwood NY picnic tomorrow. I wasn't going to do anything costume-y, because sweating in a suit and the like really sucks, but they have a pterodactyl kite. Maybe you understand. Maybe I'm insane. marchek is bringing chocolate for the pterodactyl kite. The funny in this fandom way makes up for all the bad!fic.

- I found my pocketwatch.

- Yeah, so still working on the werewolves. And the Jack and Annie story I really wanted to be able to post yesterday (but she has a maiden name now -- so exiciting!)

- Will get to talk to Patty tomorrow during her weekly Internet access.

- Oh, hey, so I write this series of articles on the history of certain shoe styles -- so far I've done the pump, the sneaker, the ballet flat, the gladiator sandal and the platform shoe. And I'm running out of ideas. And I need two more in the short term. What other shoe sorts are there?

- Swamped. But okay.

- Hey, did anyone watch Swingtown last night on, I think, CBS? They're totally marketing it to by trashy and shocking, but I found it really sweet and melancholy and so like the world I watched through doorways in my childhood.

I am loving swingtown. loving. the 13 year old kids are so dead on. love. also, girl with the hots for her AP teacher -- adorable and fantastically non-pretty pretty. Susan is so sad and beautiful and wide-eyed, and my heart just aches for Janet and Roger and their fear. the last few minutes were awesome.

I was going to suggest stilettos, but was beaten to the punch. So, seconded!

Horseshoes?
Sabot/wooden shoes? Riding boots? Work shoes?
Steel toed boots? Flip-flops? Cleats?

Shoelaces? Shoe horns? Those foot size measuring thingies?

One word..
Birkenstocks!

1. wedges always seem to be coming back.

2. I have a fondness for kitten heels myself. that's probably a kind of pump, though.

3. I adore your icon! y'all look wonderful!
