anyway who needs boyfriends when there are shoes! after usp interview today [i think i did horribly.. they asked terrible questions like 'which modules would you take in engineering?' and 'do you know exactly how small a nano is?'--- who the hell would know! plus, im hyper allergic to maths] mom and i went down to town in lieu of lunch with chern, and bascally raided ricci no. honestly, your run of the mill charles and keith/ urs shoes are a far cry both in comfort and design from these. the detail and the class are unsurpassed, as far as im concerned. even if i become, by some fluke shot, a hawt fashionista, i will be wearing ricci no shoes over jimmy choos/ manolos any day. that being said, i bought three pairs and am extremely pleased with myself. [not to mention extremely broke] two of them were on discount though, and of course as regulars we get even more off. the lady recognised me from the last few times i'd gone, and so i, too, qualify as a walking discount card! i dont think i will have to buy any more shoes for the next x years-- consider the fact that the shoes ive been breaking recently are all at least four years old [yes i break shoes. ive broken 4 pairs recently so.] buying new ones is certainly justified!
on another note, i am crazy in love with john berger. started on a new book+ bought another, and they are all fantastic in their distillation of thought and emotion. i think i will bring his short essay on poetry to class- and am so going to force this current book [because it doesnt deal with incomprehensible art historical narratives] on chern.
