Exciting shoe update

[prog]

C, the ICCB screening room overlord, gave me some packing tape, and this sufficed to noisily hold my shoe together for my journey home Friday evening. Was diverted from shoe-buying yesterday, so I'm still wearing my backups, a pair of Timberland boots I bought three years ago.

Now I'm at an impasse because:
a) I like loafers, which impart to the wearer the ability to quickly become a non-wearer.
BUT
b) Coming back to them after a year of loafing, boots remind me how comfy they are; I really like the feeling of walking around in good solid foot-and-anklewear with dense, grippy soles.

Boy. I don't feel like writing about this anymore. Got other stuff to write tonight, yes indeedy.
