so-o, i went shoe shopping again yesterday. i had to go to urban outfitters, even though i was tired and shiny-faced. but anyway, the whole trip turned out ok, because i got two pairs of shoes:


i am still trying to perfect the whole tucking-pants-into-boots thing, as this picture shows.

and believe it or not, it is actually quite difficult to take pictures of shoes when you are wearing them:


i like boots, i think. i have never before owned a pair of non-snow boots. i feel like i want to wear boots constantly -- they're comfy! they're more water resistant than flats! they look awesome!

today and yesterday were both unsatisfying work days. yesterday was spent mostly moving and alphabetizing large stacks of books. today, my usual supervisor was in new york, and the other girl in editorial found almost NOTHING for me to do. i wasted a lot of time waiting for her to come up with something for me to do. then i conned sharon, who does marketing, into giving me something to do. but jeez it was all so frustrating. also i didn't eat lunch today or yesterday.

i have been trying a new bus route: taking the 1R (R = rapid!), which goes a different way but still gets to a bus stop where i can catch the 51. the 1R is a great bus -- so fast! so on time! so few stops! and the walk to the bus stop is nicer than the walk to the bus stop for the 18.

i just found out: there is a flea market every saturday at the ashby BART station! that's what i'm doing this saturday!
