Well, Steelers are the underdogs. But it'll be a good game. I'll actually be in TX for it, but in Houston. We might drive up. I'll buy you a Lonestar. Do you like Rex Ryan? He's the worst.

[laughed]

I love Rex Ryan. Taking a team with rookie qb to the afc championship and then again the next year is pretty damn good.
Especially after only winning 4 games the previous season.
People may hate his style of coaching but it wins games and he'll certainly get another ring if not many more rings in the future. If I were building a franchise or if I were a player he'd without a doubt be my first pick for head coach.

Girl picked up my Guidi laceups from the cobbler on her way home from work, this is what I received.

Did you get them resoled? He must have slipped while grinding off the sole...
Something similar happened to me on RO trainers once, changed the cobbler afterwards.

Yeah, I was getting rubber soles put on. I've never had problems with this cobbler before, and I didn't even get to see the boots until the store had already close so I am left with boiling blood until morning. That mark is the worst, looks a lot worse in real life than it does in the picture. There is also like three stains on the opposite side of the same boot that appears to be dried glue, as well as smaller marks/scuffs around both boots.

Also looks like while attempting to paint the soles black he had a bit of a shaky hand, some black marks on the actual leather.

^Damn, that's awful!

[Peasant]

Those marks will wear with time, but I'd walk in with the receipt from wear you bought them from. Let him know he's damaging over a grand of leather.

Came back to New York to realize one of the reasons I miss Paris already. Not a single pair of Uggs to be seen there.

i just found out my neighbor's wife is dead. there's a fire truck, a paramedic truck, and a cruiser outside. is all that really necessary?

she always had a cigarette in her mouth, i guess she died from smoking related illness..

God bless Paris. I really am dumbfounded by how long the lines are at UGG stores in this city. They even bust out fanciful velvet ropes to contain them.

That does seem like a lot of ceremony. Maybe she was electrocuted by a toaster.

[Peasant]

enders.. They don't know what's going on when they get a call. House fire at... Not, one lady down from a cutlery accident. We only need a few of you.
It is a lot of parading. I feel they could get in and out in a much more respectfully and secretive.

Bummer for both of them.

SZ throws a dinner party:

"In the dining room, hung in black and opening on the transformed garden with its ash-powdered walks, its little pool now bordered with basalt and filled with ink, its clumps of cypresses and pines, the dinner had been served on a table draped in black, adorned with baskets of violets and scabiouses, lit by candelabra from which green flames blazed, and by chandeliers from which wax tapers flared.
To the sound of funeral marches played by a concealed orchestra, nude negresses, wearing slippers and stockings of silver cloth with patterns of tears, served the guests.
Out of black-edged plates they had drunk turtle soup and eaten Russian rye bread, ripe Turkish olives, caviar, smoked Frankfort black pudding, game with sauces that were the color of licorice and blacking, truffle gravy, chocolate cream, puddings, nectarines, grape preserves, mulberries and black-heart cherries; they had sipped, out of dark glasses, wines from Limagne, Roussillon, Tenedos, Val de Penas and Porto, and after the coffee and walnut brandy had partaken of kvas and porter and stout."
