More links of joy

I don't know who the genius at www.Stevemadden.com is, but dear god, has anyone seen my paycheck lately? Oh, right. It went here. Honestly, I could play with this thing the rest of my life and never need food or sex again. I'm veritably trembling with shoe-bliss.


Also, the folks at Aardman Animations, who are responsible for the likes of all the Wallace & Gromits and Chicken Run and all that great, quirky brit-anime stuff, have descended upon American network television in the form of Creature Comforts. It seems the thought process behind the show includes some interviews with totally random people who talk over each other and embarrass each other and bicker and say pretentious stuff or totally inane stuff or whatever else people unaccustomed to television interviews say. And then they run the interviews over claymation penguins or squished flies or horses or vultures and many other animals. Honestly, it's so unlike anything else on television that I'm not quite sure how it made it where it is. But it's bloody brilliant. I don't know how long the novelty will last before it gets played out, but, for the time being, it's not to be missed.

Sommer! I haven't heard from you in a while! Nor has your blog...We both miss you!

My rule about painful shoes:

If one must wear the sexy shoes, one is not allowed to complain about the sexy shoes, regardless of whether or not the sexy shoes and the painful shoes are the same pair of shoes. This, and $89.95, is the price one must pay for sexiness and masochism and sexy masochism and masochistic sexiness, regardless of whether sexiness and masochism coincide in the body and consciousness of a singular person, or not. Complaining may be masochistic, but it is certainly not sexy. Therefore, complaining about sexy, painful shoes is unacceptable.

This is the rule.
