Continuity Error Spotting

I used to be decent at spotting continuity errors, but not any more. I miss a lot, and only realise it when I'm reading discussions, or the tvtropes page.

Once in a while though, I do catch one or two.

Like the one I just spotted in Psych (S5E9).

Nadya kicks a man. She's wearing heeled boots. As she makes a run for it, there is a fleeting shot of her feet. In flats.

Yes. I can't see glaring errors when they're staring me right in the face. But an error involving shoes that lasts a split second? I see it, clear as day.

I'm beginning to think I might just be overly obsessed with shoes.

Speaking of which...I need a pair of black ankle boots. And white flats. Those are the first two on my list.

Great start to the weekend!

It was a lovely, relaxed day at the office.
Left the office early even, because my ride to town had to leave early.

Got to town, went to Ion. First time I'd been there (walking to the train station doesn't count). I'd decided to look for boots, and was hoping that Steve Madden might have a good pair. Alas, it was not to be.
Slightly disappointed, I wandered to the other shoe shops (great concept, Ion, to have the same type of stores in the same section!) and ended up in Aldo.
There was a pair of boots. Black. Leather. Knee-high. Heels.

It was the last pair - it was the display piece.

It was on sale, with a further reduction if I put it on my card.

It was in my size.

It was meant to be.

So yes, it might not be the perfect pair of boots - the quest continues - but I love it anyway.

Ambled along to 313. Another first! I'd never been here til now. Anyway, got myself another Discworld novel. Decided to get me a 10 minute shoulder massage.
Am now at Coffee Bean, enjoying my chai tea latte.

Waiting for P, then we'll meet TSY. Yay, haven't seen her in ages! Dinner - the current consensus is Marché. Yay, haven't eaten there in yonks! Going for a movie after - Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Yay, haven't seen it, ever!

I'm having a wonderful day. And it's not over, and the weekend's just begun!
Life is sweet.

To top it all off, I'm having a great hair day. :)

Bunny was right; today's note is definitely meant for me.


Some people just have big hearts, Ki. And with this gift they're very often able to feel, offer, and show far more love than they receive from those around them. Which, at times, is a heavy load to bear. So today I'd like to remind them, and especially you, that the sun asks not that the moon and planets help brighten each day, but relishes her role as a keeper of the light and a bringer of the dawn. A role much like your own.

Happy weekend, from the Sun and I -

OMG SHOES

Yesterday I'd decided to buy a new pair of shoes today. Bella was banging on about needing new shoe racks, and I was pretty much of the opinion that new shoes are enough - shoe racks can be fashioned out of the shoe boxes themselves.

That started me thinking about a new pair of shoes.

So I decided to wander JP after work and see if I could find anything decent and, here's the challenging bit, in my size.

It's a curse to have feet as large as mine. Not only does one have to put up with names like 'Bigfoot', shoe-shopping can be the most frustrating, heartbreaking, agonising, tear-inducing activity in the world. Finding a great pair of shoes in my size? Mission: Damn near impossible.

So I wasn't really hoping for much when I set out on my expedition. Wandered in and out of shops, nothing really catching my eye.

Then I walked into one shop, and something did capture my attention. Dark red (some might say it's more maroon), a good heel...Unfortunately, with that range of shoes, they only carry sizes up to one smaller than mine. As I was looking longingly at the shoe, I decided to try it on.

Lo! And behold! It fit. Oh alright, it's perhaps ever-so-slightly snug, and since I'd been wearing trainers all day, my feet hadn't swelled as much as they would in killer heels. But these weren't killer heels, and they were so pretty, and they were going for a decent price too. I was debating with myself on whether to get them or not, when salesgirl delivered The Line.

"That's our last pair."

I believe in fate. And if I find a shoe that looks good, is affordable, is IN MY SIZE...I should get it. If it's the very last pair...well, then it was meant to be. So I finally have that pair of dark red heels I've been looking for.


And I got the same pair in beige too.

Hey, if the shoe fits...buy it!

I need Wellies

Lovely storm yesterday morning, that blew out the power in the office, and created a lovely little flood outside my office.

Just behind the parked car, and that pole, there's a drain. That doesn't do drainage very well, obviously.

There was no way I was going to walk through that, without a raincoat and wellies.

The Quest for the Perfect Pair of Boots

I am still on this quest. Problem with living in a place that's summer-all-year-round, is that we almost never get good boots. I could wait for the Fall/Winter collections, but they're still not perfect. And I demand perfection.

I've seen some lovely boots on the Victoria's Secret website, as well as other places online, and Victoria's Secret is having a sale! on boots! but I'm wary of buying footwear online. I gotta try before I buy, to ensure I'm getting the perfection that I deserve.

So the quest continues.

In the meantime, I shall be content with my killer heels.
