That's it for now. No shoes today - slow computers make Lisa angry.

Medical school interview yesterday, California tomorrow.

Fun times...

Let the games begin

It's that time of year again - Olympic time! While I'm very excited about the prospect of hockey celebrations (ahhh...fond memories of the last time), I'm most excited about a new kind of Olympics - the KNITTING OLYMPICS!

I will hopefully be completing this vest:

Coolest Thing Ever

A while back, a catalogue came to our house. A magnificent catalogue filled with amazing things that no one needs. The catalogue in question is distributed by Hammacher Schlemmer. I don't know anything about this company except that it sure distributes cool junk.

One particular thing caught my interest:

he must be going fast, look at his tie!

Yes folks, it's the "Levitating Hover Scooter"

Hailed by the New York Times as "miniature flying saucer with handlebars" this amazing machine can transport a single rider up to 15mph on flat and slightly inclined surfaces for up to 1 hour on a full tank of unleaded gasoline. Stopping is apparently 'easy' and requires the distance of 20ft.

What would you pay for this experience?

Try $16,999.95


And now: SHOES OF THE POST

Moulded Mole, UNDERDOGMA

friendly furry slippers - they're made from moles!
