Can't you see I'm walking?
Mar. 7th, 2008 04:48 pmBy popular demand, my sexy shoes. Excuse the pictures quality, I haven't messed around much with the self-timer yet, and not having a tripod, was unable to get the shot I'd have liked.
I was going to buy them in this really pretty peachy-reddish shade, but they no longer had my size. And while the yellow ones would have been funky, they were really yellow, so I passed, and white was right out.
Now, where to wear them? I'm meeting up with some people for a movie tomorrow, but I don't really want to spend the day wandering around Shinjuku in new heels, so I guess I'll wear them to work on a day I know I won't be much on my feet. The ideal solution would be to wear them around the house to break them in a bit, but A-L can testify as to the size (or lack thereof) of my apartment and besides, I spend most of my time cross-legged on the floor, which would hardly help.
I spent most of the afternoon walking around the neighbouring Sumida ward (I live right by the Sumida river, which separates Taito ward, where I live, and Sumida ward), taking pictures of plum blossoms. I'd brought a ground sheet and a book, planning to find a nice place to read, but by the time I was ready to sit down and relax, clouds were moving in and the wind was picking up, so I decided to start the 40-minute walk home.
In other leg/foot/walking-related news, my right knee has been bothering me for the past week or so. I can't quite figure why, because I haven't done anything out of the ordinary recently, unless it's that I've been walking a little bit more than I had for the last couple of months. So it's either that, or a year of living Japanese-style has caught up with me. Whatever it is, I am Not Amused. *grumbles and starts unwinding the tenser bandage*
Tomorrow's weekly reviews will hopefully contain lots of screencaps of Prince of Tennis silliness, because I watched both the animated movie and the live-action one; another anime movie (that has nothing to do with tennis or princes! Aren't you proud? ^_^; ); plus a non-anime American movie; the Heap O' Clichés from two weeks ago (because I've been going back and forth on how to best sum it up); and The Golden Compass, which is what I'm going to see tomorrow. Yes, it's only just come out in Japan, otherwise I would have seen it sooner!
There may also be a manga review (only one short chapter left), because my new subway book is by Tad Williams, and he writes big-ass books, so I won't be done with that one for another week, at least.
