O-o, looking for shoes.

Ta.
A man, making a blog post, about looking for shoes! Alert the internet!
Or, maybe not.

Anyway. I was actually out looking for shoes today. It made me feel worn out. Which is a piercing and in some particulars correct analysis. My shoes, which i until recently had quite liked, turned out to be old and worn when i looked at them closely. My pants felt cheap, my sweater so-so, my shirt is technically for more outdoorsy uses and my gloves and cap felt worn. All in all not a good feeling. Especially when i at all times feel like sandblasting my face.
So i grew very tired of looking for shoes. Which was doublesome annoying since the only ones i really liked cost about 2700NOK, which is as we say WAY TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE FOR ZE UNEMPLOYED!
Not to worry though i will eventually find a pair of shoes i can wear. And if not i`ll buy a new coat instead. I did after all get myself a pair of running shoes not too long ago, and they`re made in collaboration with Continental tires. Which is, just basically, -Awesome-.

So basically, the news from the front is that looking for shoes and clothes can make the poor and unemployed feel rather down on themselves. Who`d a thunk it! Things got better though.
On the bus ride home to Tysnes i started a new lecture series, this time it`s the intricacies of a global economy which are to be exposed. The lecturer was a man to my liking. Comfortably critical about the allotment of resources and the general running of things. Which i like to hear from the high halls of academia. So it`s going to be a nice course.
The high was yet to come though, when i got of the bus i had to wait another hour and a half for the ferry to come and take me over to Tysnes. During which time i got to listen to The Beast and Nnenna Freelon. Which is hot damn one of the best albums i`ve heard in a while. Solid jazz-hiphop-fusion with all the right messages conveyed!

And then, to just up the ante even further, i sat back on the ferry with the newest David Lapham comic. "Kull the Hate Witch" is somewhat outside of my realm in comics. I`ll be honest, this could end up being very fun! Especially since i finished of the jump-off as i went abourd the ferry for an island. THAT`S called whoring for a parallelization! =)
We`ll see how Kull`s empire fares!


Home, and back in the bed i`ve spent a lot of time in over the years. It feels comforting. At least as long as i am writing.

Oh, and lectures in german are very funny. I feel like wearing a finely pressed shirt and a bowtie just so i am "correct" enough to be present. (I swerve along and manage to catch at least a third or a fourth of what is being said, it`s nice to be in another language for a while!)


And Re: "Kull The Hate Witch". Tonight it`s time for "Der Kaiser von Atlantis"!
