More on shoes, and some thoughts
Hello all! Ahead of me is a five-day weekend, which will be filled with tea, Futurama, and other nerdy glory. It will also be full of BLOGGING, so settle in.
First, some thoughts on flannel. It is an amazing material! It is warm, which is becoming increasingly necessary as we steadily approach winter. It is often plaid, and need I say any more on that? I LOVE PLAID. Flannel shirts are hipster-y, and can be worn in many different styles. All said- they're the perfect winter fashion.
Next, some blather about food. One of the things I would like to do this looong weekend is make some recipes I found in my Spanish textbook. This textbook, while utterly useless for Spanish homework, is at least entertaining to flip through, and it contains a few good recipes. I want to make dulce de leche, which is an amazing delicious caramel-y goo, meaning "sweet milk" when translated from Spanish. Interestingly, the word "dulce" is also in Italian, and that means you often find it in music, meaning sweetly, or dulce cantabule, sweetly singing. Aren't roots fun? I also want to make platanos horneados (note: in Spanish, the word platano, meaning banana or plantain, has an accent over the first "a", but I couldn't figure out how to insert one. If you speak Spanish, bear with me.) These are bananas cooked in butter with honey and cloves on them. NOM!!!
Currently, I'm reading Ender's Game, which actually I've never read before, though you'd think someone like me would be all over that book. Anyway, is it just me, or are the plots of Ender's Game and the Shadow Children series awfully similar?
I've also been busy off in shoeland lately. Not only did I design my own shoe, (which I want to get made, by the way, but I'm afraid it would be rather pricey), but I also designed a basketball shoe on Nike ID that is wickedly awesome. Click here to see it. Meanwhile, be sure to check out http://nikeid.nike.com/nikeid /index.jsp , which is where you can custom-build just about any shoe. As I design more, I'll be sure to post them. Something else I did: Make a brochure for the shoe I made. I'll try to post it here in a minute.
