So... of course...

Only one of the six pairs of Zappos shoes was comfortable enough to walk the length of the condo. But, I did not love them $140 worth so the whole lot got packed back up and are now waiting for UPS to pick them up.



Oh well. I tried. I squeaked by last year without any real winter shoes. I can do it again.

I've now been down in the garage which is open to the outside world on one side and so smoke optional - twice today. The second time netted me a nice little coughing fit. Yes, it could have been smoke but, honestly, I think it was psychosomatic. Just looking out at this stuff is making my lungs shrivel.

I'm sucked into a British Crime drama series called No Offense. The dialog is very clever but OMG so fast and so full of idioms and slang that I cannot understand half of it even reading the closed captioning. I have to watch every episode twice to even follow along. But it is totally worth it. Joanna Scanlan is pretty amazing. Actually all of the women in the cast are and pretty much, it's all women.

I'm in the second run of episode 3... I need to get back to it now.

No Offense sounds pretty neat :D

Oh, too bad about the shoes. The brown suede one near the top (the one that Zoey is sneaking up on) looks really cool, but if not comfortable then of course no go.

Actually, that one is the one that came the closest. It was pretty comfortable but made in such a way that I doubt it would last past one winter or even that long. And not waterproof. And $140. If I was desperate, maybe. But, I'm not so no.

Shame about the shoes.

No Offence sounds good. You'll probably find it a bit easier once you're more used to the accent.

Yes, it is easier now to understand the individuals but the idioms and slang is both fascinating and wildly incomprehensible. I get the words. I don't get the meaning but it's all great.
