Text of the page (random words):
r summers in the fields require lots of moving about and not wanting to carry a lot of crap with me last summer i was determined to go only with a small pilot case i had three pairs of shoes black closed walking brown sandals and flip flops for shower i brought less than two weeks of clothes and washed things often and brought things that matched well i also bought things there bc i love shopping in outdoor markets and now i am back to getting ready again and i need shoes i have scoured the interwebs this is what i am looking for in a pair of shoes 1 less than 20 dollars the less i pay the more i would be happy 2 comfortable padded footbed 3 flat no heal at all 4 black is that so hard to find apparently yes especially since i do not want to wear shoes that close via velcro and look like grandma shoes look some velcro is fine i mean last year s sandals closed via velcro but it was thin straps and were not all velcro and yah they did not look like grandma shoes and as i was looking online again tonight thinking i might find a deal what with memorial day i remembered my mom s summer shoes for more summers than i can remember my mom always bought a similar pair of shoes with her to home country we would always go to kmart to shop for the summer trip basically shorts a bathing suit and sandals before i knew that shopping at kmart was uncool i thought it was so fun all the clothes and really its the only place we shopped as kids so it was the only clothes shopping time though i went through a phase of embarrassed of kmart i love it now having come to terms with liking it in college anyway so yah she would buy the shoes at kmart comfy squishy padded footbed leather straps yah kmart sold real leather straps ie not slip ons but won t fall off and in white and other colors when we were in homecountry i would anger my mom by wearing her shoes around the house they were so comfy and i could pretend do be grown up too so those are my dream shoes comfy flat sandals with a strap that i can wear everyday for like 16 hours that are black i am going to be in very urban environments and very rural desert type places so i need sandals that will last be comfy and strong enough to go over hills and rocks and still look classy in the city i am not an old lady who needs orthopedic shoes nor do i want trendy cage shoes with like 4 inches of heel is there nothing in between ages 20 and 60 can i buy my mother s shoes from 1980 3 comments posted in uncategorized tags grad school old school random shopping posted by seekingacademia may 10 2011 of schisms reality tv and procrastination so yah since i should be working but the day gets started too late thanks to random sibling drama and parental health i have to run to campus to turn in a form where i run into prof in my department who happens to attend my church he mentions i am lectoring this weekend which i did not know about i asked him about the last mass where we heard a rather interesting homily basically i feel like our priest is trying to make us more appealing to non catholic or i don t agree with the church catholics and his manner of doing so is pseduo evangelical and yah i m catholic not evangelical so i would like a liturgically correct mass is that too much to ask anyway in this interesting homily the priest painted the church in one way through statements saying for example the church has stood idly by while the world kicked and killed puppies so basically the church kicks and kills puppies when the actual truth is the church is very anti puppy killing and kicking in fact the pope just gave a homily against puppy killing and the bishops have published statements against the practice and even contact those in charge of puppy killing explaining how bad it is etc and then he brought up the ordination of women my opinion it is theologically complex if you tell me well we have a shortage of priests then let s do it that is a practical argument that a government might make the church makes decisions based on 2000 years of tradition revelation etc not a survey i don t care if people who are not catholic support it so anyway said homily was well odd so prof was complaining about the length of mass in his altar boy days it was 50 minutes max we shouldn t sing the whole last hymn i mean come on well i said perhaps we don t need 15 minutes of announcements everyday so we can you know sing the whole hymn and not go over i asked what he thought of the interesting homily he said remind me i did a bit and explained that my problem with it was the inaccuracies and mis characterizations he went off on women priests why can t we what do genitals have to do with anything i said well i think it should be a theological discussion not a secular one he was like well just b c we ve never done it before doesn t mean we shouldn t i mean we heat the church with oil heat now but they didn t do that in the early church i said yah well that is something to do with practice not doctrine why just b c someone says it is it s all practice anyway yah somehow i got myself into this not good discussion yet in the heat of it i am like if i just clarify then he ll see right it s not that easy at one point he said that he wishes we would just have a schism i was a little shocked and playfully said no come on prof we need unity we should just join the anglicans he says and i said well some of them are unifying i don t know i think unity is great and heck shouldn t that be a good thing maybe i am just naive i have never heard someone say they want a schism so i came home and did some menial tasks while having some reality tv on in the background first amazing race the reason i like reality tv i think is that i like to watch and think about what the best strategy would be and also criticize bad strategy what always gets me about the amazing race is when they run with those giant backpacks dude i would bring 2 outfits one for warm one for cold and the last two legs i would totally throw out everything no one ever does i don t get it except the globetrotters this time who checked their bag b c didn t need it on the last leg and they can always go get it later and it makes me sad when a team i like gets a bad taxi driver what i don t get especially at the point when you are in the us why you don t at the first roadblock get a new taxi call one to come get you while your partner is doing something all this to say well when it gets 9pm i feel like i shouldn t start anything new so instead i watch tv and do silly things like emails etc and crap i have a ton of work to get done by thursday help 3 comments posted in uncategorized tags grad school religion tv update posted by seekingacademia may 6 2011 so i watch a lot of cooking reality shows and one thing that drives me crazy about masterchef australia which is the best version in my mind is the floor i have worked in a food prep place specifically a sandwich shop in high school and wet floors were a no no and the floor of the masterchef studio tower corridor or something which is a real place on cockatoo island great name btw is covered with water not standing water but it is wet everywhere not damp but wet what is up with that leave a comment posted in uncategorized tags random scattered thoughts about stuff tv posted by seekingacademia march 27 2011 some random bits had our first creighton nfp class it was amazing seriously there is so much about the female body that people just do not get taught i am very excited to start using it i know very little about science beyond high school biology but looking at microscope pictures of the different kinds of cervical mucus um awesome randomly found on flickr pictures someone took of fh and i while we proposed to each other we did it in a public place the guy didn t get any of us actually talking and doing the rings just us taking pictures of each other which i am kind of happy about because those moments are still private and between us period peices are the best i recently watched first season of downton abbey and the entire series of from lark rise to candleford i love period pieces and after watching a few episodes in one day i start hearing the accents in my head mawr for ma i love it anyone else have any recommendations also think it s supercool that lydia in the colin firth pride and prejudice plays dorcas lane in from lark rise to candleford 1 comment posted in uncategorized tags fh fun health marriage random tv posted by seekingacademia march 7 2011 advisor committee drama you know i must say annie i respect you so much for talking about your advisor dramas because while my situation is in no way as severe i can t talk about it i oscillate between ignoring it stressing about it i don t want to talk to anyone in my department about it because of how i think they will now think of me and i bet they all know since you know we gossip as much as we breathe here and yah i am too afraid to write anything here in case anyone ever reads it slim to none chance but still i am in a precarious position am quite befuddled on how i got there and feel naive and silly naive and silly for thinking well i read all those blogs before i started grad school and i talked to tons of people and plenty told me it would be hellish but i thought oh no not for me i know what i m getting into and it will be great because i love my project and research right 1 comment posted in uncategorized tags grad school stress posted by seekingacademia march 6 2011 lady business oh tina fey that was a funny sketch you did for snl anyway the title is b c my obgyn has suggested i have an optional procedure but that sounds like surgery even though it is short it requires general anesthetic and i am conflicted will talk to fh about it when we meet for spring break but yah i don t know i am scared about doing it and not doing it so yah also really weird experience at said doctor while she was ahem examining me she asked where we were going for our honeymoon i told her and then she told me the weirdest thing so imagine i am going to a grocery store for my honeymoon and i say yah we re going to a few grocery stores in and around downtown city and her response is well you might want to be careful i hear poor black people go to grocery stores and overrun them referencing grocery store in perhaps not a rich area of town i say yah well actually my research is on grocery stores and poor black people and they are not overrunning them but before i can get past the word grocery store she still examining me says yah you want to watch out for that those poor grocery stores are being flooded with problems and i look at her from the weird position that i and she am in and decide to say nothing more as well the exam isn t very fun and i am always annoyed by doctors doing unpleasant things to your body while at the same time trying to engage you in fun conversation b c heck you aren t fooling me talking about my honeymoon isn t making this more pleasant in fact it works to make me more aware of the situation and not want to talk to you at all yet i feel that s rude so you know i feel like i have to talk when really i d rather just close my eyes and breathe i m sure those who draw blood and other doctors think this is a great tactic and maybe it is but i hate it but the point is i still can t get the image of my doctor down there telling me to avoid grocery stores because of poor black people when i spend all my free time in grocery stores oh yah and i wish there was someone who i knew who had dealt with this surgery type thing before but i doubt i will b c i am not asking anyone directly and hence i will not know 4 comments posted in uncategorized tags fh health marriage posted by seekingacademia january 24 2011 marriage prep i really like that the catholic church is so serious about marriage prep i must say i am super excited to take all the classes because i am a huge dork primarily yet i revel in it last night we were trying to figure out where to attend all the classes here or in funtown there are less options here so it looked like funtown for all of them even nfp thankfully though i just found an nfp teacher here who can schedule the classes around our schedule so whenever fh is already here i am super excited to start we re going to do the creighton method i hear it is the most precise we shall see if anyone has any experience with any of them feel free to share 2 comments posted in uncategorized tags fh marriage update older posts
