You know what's great?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I wear sandals only occasionally, as I don't like how they make your feet smell all leathery and sweaty, and more importantly, I like the security of a good sock. :p

I'd wear sandals or flip-flops if I could guarantee my toes that they wouldn't be harmed as a result.

Unfortunately, I can't even guarantee my toes will remain attached to my feet when I'm wearing steel-toecapped boots. :(

I wear flats, short shorts and a tank to work.
Or sometimes a t-shirt and jeans.

I thought of that when I posted that.
It was funny to me, so I left it there.

I wear flip-flops too. My feet are flat-footed on the outer sides, so I can only wear this cheap brand that doesn't have the slightest bit of padding. It was either have my feet hurt after a few hours, or have my feet hurt the entire time. Still worth it, though.

Even worse than that, I think of the Nair hair removal commerical that uses that song instead of the song itself.

Good advice. When the labels on the diapers say 10-15 pounds, they're not kidding. That is all those things will hold.

...who did I steal that from?

Depends. If you wear socks with them, your life is Fail.

I went through a company called OWLS (One World Language Service). Yes, I chose them because of the Satanic implications of the name.

I'm thinking about moving to Osaka next year, possibly doing the Eikaiwa thing.

I hear Aeon is quite good, and Berlitz doesn't make you do sales. Probably goes without saying, but avoid NOVA like the plague.
