Random things, irritating and non

gurdymonkeyPicked up a pair of Birkenstock sandals on clearance at DSW on my way home from A&S, wore them yesterday, went out on my walk and limped half a block back with stabbing pain in my right foot. The bunion that has not bothered me since I walked it into submission at Pennsic in 2007 suddenly decided to complain. Went out today in a pair of Naturalizer sandals, pain was significantly less but still there.
Sat through the hourglass for several minutes in order to submit a support request to LiveJournal as page load times continue to be ludicrous.
Why is it that all of our guys suddenly become obsessed with ordering t-shirts with their SafetyBuck rewards when they KNOW it's Payroll Day?
Site tokens: treasured souvenir or random crap that ends up cluttering the ashtray in the truck, collecting lint in the bottom of my haversack or hanging on the bathroom mirror.... Yeah, I'll cop to mentioning to the Kingdom Constable an old Rusted Woodlands event where we enforced payment of site fees by checking tokens. (Quel horreur!) My fault. I'm mean that way.
While I was waiting my turn for a chair massage at the Marketplace yesterday, I actually browsed the bins in front of Farmstead Cheese and Wines and discovered they had some offerings that were quite reasonably priced. Melted into a much needed puddle in the massage chair under the hands of a different therapist this time. She did a nice job and made me feel quite refreshed after a weekend of ground-sleeping and bullfrog serenades. Anyway, I went over to Farmstead, bought a bottle of Portuguese vinho verde (having heard it mentioned on some travel show and thinking it sounded interesting) and threw myself on a quarter pound of double Gloucester and a roll of chevre. The woman behind the counter was friendly, offered to journal my choices for future reference in their computer and rang me up without too much damage. I cracked open the vinho just now and it's lovely - just a hint of sparkle, fruity without being too sweet. Should go nicely with some cold rosemary chicken and a salad in a bit. Or maybe I'll just slice up some apples and have them with some of the cheese I bought....

Date: 2011-06-15 01:11 am (UTC)Howzabout: Site tokens - required, even if butt-ugly and wholly ahistorical. I have no problem keeping mine on my body for the duration of the event, even if I keep it hidden from the eyes of deceny folk. The minute I hear that it's 'supposed to be visible at all times' will be 15 seconds before I install one in the speaker's forehead with a small ball-pein hammer...
