do the kids still call them "kicks"?

So, lately, I feel bad buying clothes or anything that won't further any artsy endeavors (I had no problem dropping some cash on a camera). But today, Kim and I went to Zen Zero (more curry!) and we stopped at the Casbah (it was rocked thusly) and I found SHOES. Not just any shoes. I don't get a hard on for shoes, usually. But I've been wanting patent red leather shoes for YEARS now, and they were half off.
These is them. They look kinda funny on my elf-sized feet, but they're comfy and purty. I'm wearing them now. Enjoy this moment with me.

Last night, had an odd experience. After I ate dinner, which admittedly, was a cross-cultural, odd affair (baba ganoosh, nan, corn, and pork and veggie dumplings) I started feeling really dizzy, then I started feeling REALLY dizzy, then nauseous. I couldn't stand or do anything, reading was out, couldn't focus. I ended up just laying on the couch and trying not to throw up. Eric said I should market whatever it was because some people pay good money to feel like that. This is why I don't do drugs. I was so upset and annoyed because 1. Why was it happening and 2. there went a whole night wasted. I checked all the food I ate and it's all good, so I'm not sure what that was.

After that, I had a weird dream that I'd write out, but it already went into the paper journal and I'm lazy. I drew a sketch of the weird featureless man and his dog. I plan on using it later.

Signed up for a small business workshop today. It may not be much, but it helps me feel like I'm doing something.

Found out I can purchase a LEGAL copy of Photoshop CS for half price, because I'm student. I may do that next month, depending on finances.

Ah, that happens to me sometimes when I eat indian food. Once I'm finished & I try to move, I break out in a sweat & the room goes out of focus. Yet I continue to eat it every week :/

Ha! I didn't even notice that. :)

tequila does that to me

I only had Nan though (last night). Oddness.
Maybe it was the corn. YES, THE CORN!

Would you ever consider ...

Being a part-time writer on my little OL zine?
All you have to do is turn in a topic essay (aka: Rant) and I publish it as what you have to say about the world this month, etc.

Interest you at all? You are a wonderful writer.

Cil is just a windbag shadowing others and using large vocabulary in order to try to belittle his fanbase.
For some reason, tearing down Fight Club meant Cil deserved an honorable blurb just as an aftermint.

Heh.

Thanks for the compliment. :) I'm always up for a little unpaid writerly spewage. Where is your zine?

Next, you should talk about eating horses.

It's just started up after my being away for a few YEARS. Just friend jsasanr and wait while the new webhost and cool domain name take form as my cyberspace brainchildren.

Mmm, children taste like chicken.

Hi! it's rueyeet....remember me?

I am poking my head around because I have been informed that one can restrict journals to friends-only, and am seriously considering suspending my iron-clad "No LJ for rueyeet" rule in order to keep up with all those people I routinely miss when I don't (keep up with them, that is).

Like you, f'r instance. :)

And now, a stupid question: Does one actually have to register with PayPal in order to make use of a donation button, or will they just accept a one-time credit card thingie? I am a paranoid old cuss who's listened a bit too much to the EFF and I don't trust PayPal with my information.

It's neat to read that you're actually making real cash money from artistic endeavors and such! Go you! :) And such art it is. I am inspired: next year I'm doing something for Valentine's Day regardless of dating status. Maybe arrange a huge Screw the Hearts and Candy party for all my single friends...okay, it's getting where that would actually be a smallish party, but still.

I ramble. I stop now.

Heyyyyyyyyy! YOU MUST SUBMIT TO LJ! I don't post many friends only (I think) so, you're probably not missing anything. Still, you should submit.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure you do have to register with Pay Pal, but I feel bad taking money from friends, so don't!

How are you?

Yay!

Not as well as I'd like; my allergies have flared up again in a big way, with the result that I've had constant respiratory complaints since, oh say, last October. The latest is that I actually think I busted a rib coughing. :O Yeah, I know, get off my butt and call the allergist. :) Other than that, things are mostly going swimmingly.

Personally I'd rather take money from friends than strangers...that way you have a better idea of where it's been.
