Meredith and I are working all weekend this weekend. She’s working the worst shifts at the restaurant and I’m working this weekend long event for work. We’ll both be standing the whole time, running right round baby right round like a record baby right round, round round and both be super stoked about life. I love working through the weekend. Dancing through life, just like these obgs!

Wired has a review of these new running shoes, Vibram FiveFingers (which, by the way sounds like a really fun sex toy, if you ask me…), a minimalist running shoe, that shuns the padding, thick soles, and gawdy “shock absorbing technology” like air bubbles/springs etc… of more traditional shoes; instead, the FiveFingers shoes looks kind of like a pair of gloves for your feet. Kind of like a cross between those individual toe socks my friends and I were obsessed with in 5th grade, and Aqua Socks (aka the most fun water shoes ever).
According to Wired, so-called minimalist running footware is gaining in popularity due to “a growing body of research [that] suggests that minimal or no footwear will result in fewer running injuries.”
Scientific research aside, I kind of like these shoes. They’re kind of cool looking, in their own ugly way. And yet, I don’t know that I can get behind them; see, for me, that individual toe sock phase didn’t last very long, as I always found it uncomfortable to have my toes individually separated. [Ed note: recently, I came up with this theory that I have an acute case of webbed feet — no seriously, I do! But that’s really an issue for another post…] So, I’m forced to conclude, that I’d love to try out running around in these babies, but also? I don’t get them.
Other things I don’t get?
- Why anyone gives a fuck what the Obama children are wearing. Oh, and see here as well… — oh, really, The Washington Post?
- How it took a Twitter update from Lindsay Lohan to convince Jessica Biel to break up with Justin Timberlake…orrr why my mom emailed me this story…
- The fact that people still wear jorts, as though this is okay.
- Daughtry
- How the cartoons in The New Yorker are funny.
- The fact that I still don’t know how to skateboard.
- Why One Tree Hill still comes on tv. Seriously, Arrested Development gets cancelled after three seasons, and yet One Tree Hill‘s been on for like ten years?
- Tourists.
- People who say “hecka” instead of “hella”. This sounds ridiculous. Just stop.
- Why it took me so long to get into 808’s & Heartbreak.
- Why Mel doesn’t live on the West Coast.
