Modern Travel, Walking Shoes

I just got off the phone with Dave. He's on a business trip and was supposed to come home tonight but got caught up in Southwest's meltdown, so one of his connecting flights was cancelled. What was initially a four-hour delay turned into a twenty-four hour delay and now he's considering taking a flight to a nearby city and driving a rental car home. He's in the airport trying to make arrangements before he boards his first flight. Ah, modern travel.

Here on the homefront:

It is 102 degrees outside so I'm staying inside. I am meant to be studying, but instead I'm watching videos on youtube of my favorite new comedian Stewart Lee. I have two exams and two case studies due on Monday and I'm already behind. But The Brain likes comedy and I am beyond telling The Brain what to do today.

The Brain also wants fried chicken for dinner, but I don't know about that. Yesterday The Brain wanted a chocolate croissant and I did too, so we had one, but this is not a good long-term strategy.

Aside from watching Stewart Lee videos online and studying and showering and watering the garden, I haven't done much of anything. I took out the trash though! That's something, right?

Oh! I also ordered a pair of shoes online from this place called Hot Chocolate Shoes that makes these incredible shoes:

They have the craziest designs printed on them and, if these fit, I think I'll order about six more pairs with different designs.

I've been doing a bit of online shopping recently, mostly for books since I am reading again. Today's mail brought me a copy of Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened, a so-far hilarious memoir.

Ugh, but I need to study instead of read hilarious memoirs!
