Oh lordy, this made me laugh: Beware of Skechers... (BTW, if you're wondering, that is apparently a result of the Bubble Project)
So, story of the day: Last night, I got nailed in the gut with a shoe! And it STILL hurts.
See, last night at wushu, Phil had a rather questionable idea for a warmup, which we will call shoe tag. You're in two teams, on opposite sides of a line, and everyone takes off one of their Feiyues and flings it at the other team, trying to hit them and take them out, dodgeball-style. This is generally okay, because A) we can only throw frisbee-style, so it doesn't hit as hard, and B) Feiyues are really soft and floppy shoes, basically like Keds, so they don't hurt that badly, anyway.
At yesterday's practice, however, there were a couple of newbies present who don't have Feiyues yet, so they were lobbing around their much bulkier and harder cross-trainers. Byron somehow got a really high-speed throw on one of those cross-trainers, and it hit me square in the stomach. I fell on my ass out of complete shock, and there's now a big ol' red shoe print on the right side of my gut. OW. Damned nooblets and their hard, plastic-y shoes!!
I am so incredibly tired of being broke. I need food, I need batteries, I need some caffeine to get through today, but I don't get paid until tomorrow. BLARGH! I will just have to hang in there for another 24 hours...
On the up side, I did get to watch Project Runway yesterday! ( Quick PR blather )
Weekend might be pretty crazy. I'm demoing tomorrow morning, and this time I'm getting paid for it, heh. Zul'Gurub raid happens on Saturday, bright and early. Demo on Sunday. I've got a bit of the nerves, but I think I'll live. :)
That's all!
