I'm addicted to a lot of things. Television isn't one of them.

So, house sitting for a friend that has lots of channels (and a cat that berates me when I get home late), but I've really only been watching repeats of "Sex and the City" and episodes of Frasier that I haven't yet seen (man that's a well-written show).
Anyways, remember Aidan? The cool furniture designer that, prior, was the radio jockey on Northern Exposure? Yeah. He is fucking hot. What is the big deal about Mr. Big? Aidan was the real deal. Michael once said he was "Aidan" and he's right: he is.
I've had a couple of the "Mr. Big" varietal. Big dicks, big egos and though they put on a good show? They don't have their shit together (disclaimer: neither do I, but I'm trying hard).
I can't remember how it came about, but Michael came up on our lunch break. I was probably regaling my coworkers with some story about his most recent act of kindness towards me or some damn thing. Anyways, my coworkers asked how long we've been together and I said that, more or less, it's coming up on ten years. And they asked how it is that he puts up with my shit and I responded that I wasn't entirely sure. And they said that he sounds like a great guy and I replied that he is, and that I'm lucky to have him.
Then they commented that I never have anything bad to say about him and it's true: I don't.
I can't remember how the relationship between Carrie and Aidan ended.
I mostly don't care.
I don't own any Jimmy Choos or Manolo Blahniks either.

Can you run in heels? I can... well it's more like sprinting. Only thing good about those kinds of shoes is that you can come out of them really quick so you can take off in a dead run. Have you seen these?

Thanks for the article. Oddly enough M and I were talking about shoes and biomechanics the other day and I thought some of my knee pain was stemming on my recent really cushy shoe purchase.
Not sure if I'm ready for barefoot yet though!

I'm either wearing heels or barefoot (crocs/berks.) I get blisters when I wear any kind of running or walking shoe. I have the hardest time getting anything to fit. One brand puts blisters on heels another on the toes. So those barefoot jobbies look pretty good.

Well, you never mention running machines, but they always give me hip pain in a way that actual running doesn't..

Obviously these days, I run naked.

That's strange: treadmills should be easier on the knees because there's more give.

As for the naked running: it sounds very freeing, but I require photographic evidence.

Treadmill Soody? Ugggh, I'd rather take a sharp stick in the eye. So boring, I once tried to liven it up a bit by roller skating on one.
