i went back to sleep after noon today, and slept until my brother calling woke me. and before i knew it, darkness had fallen and the day had been lost, except that it's not that late yet. i need to get myself some artificial sun in place.

the long sleep was due to a late night jaunt to Ballard for Raiders of the Lost Ark at midnight. even though i have every beat of the film memorized, there were a few details that i had never caught before. alas, the skills in the projection booth were lacking, but the inherent charm of the Bay and the quality of the story won out. we're seriously considering a move to Ballard when the lease runs out. Verite Coffee/Cupcake Royale (right next to the Bay) is open to midnight on the weekends, and was packed. street life, new library, live music, great bars, a brewery, a fabric store, pho - there's not much it's missing. okay, there's no theatre in Ballard. but the difference in the rent would more than pay for me to drive or bus to that.

i love shoes. i have many, many pairs, but few of them are delicate or strappy. i like them to be comfortable, and made of something that had to die. i love names like Steve Madden or Dansko rather than Manolo Blahnik or Prada. i spent the afternoon in an ultimately fruitless quest for tall brown boots. ( because )

after a few hours of searching, i was consumed by the desire to buy something. i blame the media.

i entered the wonderland that is Sephora and returned with Philosophy spiced apple cider showergel/shampoo and Urban Decay caramel edible sparkly body powder. i smell and taste great. Seattle shoe merchants can eat me.

C has just brought me a cup of tea. he is more wonderful than the perfect pair of shoes.
