OG. I believe you have quite a linguistic background. Is this so?

True, Tank, but being very old and stupid, I don't get the connection.  ???

Don't worry there isn't a connection at the moment. But there will be shortly.

[The Magic Pudding]

Wife has taken younger daughter to Sydney for a sporting event.
She was a fun child, clever and funny, full of life she chipped at least one of my teeth.
But she wasn't thin as a kid and her sister was a natural princess.
There was the anorexic diagnosis, whether that was mistake or a phase I don't know, without doubt there's extreme obsession going on still. The run I'm cool with, the swim, barely anyone gets bitten by a shark, the bike legs, the bike training, I hate it.  They all dream of medals, as many as get a medal are crushed and crippled by cars, as many as get gold die.

Hmm, that's a bit of downer, no one's home and neighbours are far away.  Loud music and sporadic sozzled bopping about will lift me out of it.

Well do tell us how your daughter gets on. And video the sozzzeled bopping and stick it on YouTube

There will be no video.

Asmo doesn't seem grey to me, more a pleasant beige.
The deceptive beige
Beige and beware
Ha what? I'm beige, it wasn't me.
Trust me, I'm beige

I've been listening to random national anthems. I'm feeling oddly patriotic.

AFM, drinking red wine and watching Batman with T.  Had a big client meeting today that went really well, but completely fried my brain (always feel this way after long meetings, 'specially client facing.)  Oh, and speaking of business, I would like to find the person (no doubt a man) who decided that when a woman wants to look nice, she has to wear heels, and I want to punch that man right in the eye.  The balls of my feet still hurt, several hours after changing into my trainers.     I decree that all men who think that heels add that certain something to a woman's appearance have to spend a whole day wearing 3 inch spikes and doing all of the walking and driving and shopping that they normally do, and then tell me about it.

There's a feminist theory that "traditional" women's clothing is designed to be restricting so as to limit the amount of mobility women have. It emphasizes women's perceived physical limitations. I think heels would fall under that category. Though I don't think men are really to blame, I think we do a lot of unnecessary things to ourselves really (and yes, I do wear heels. Sometimes. When I feel like it )

I was actually thinking about the connection between foot binding and heels this afternoon.  Because I'm melodramatic.     I only wear heels for important business meetings and only because I know they are an expected part of the attire.  I hate hate hate heels.  That's probably why they hurt so much when I do wear them; I'm not used to them.

Just bought a book so I can start studying for the ARE.  It was co-authored by one of my old professors and that's the only reason I trusted buying it as it isn't one of the more common study guides.  But one 200 dollar book that may be all I need (it covers all sections) is worth a try over ordering 75to150 books for each section (7 sections total).  I'm going to figure out where I may need more study and only order books specific to those sections if other books I have don't cover the materials.  Between myself and my boss we have a pretty good resource library as it is and I'm going to try to find more people to borrow from as well.

Oh, and speaking of business, I would like to find the person (no doubt a man) who decided that when a woman wants to look nice, she has to wear heels, and I want to punch that man right in the eye.  The balls of my feet still hurt, several hours after changing into my trainers.  

I refuse to wear them (use to sometimes but it's just not worth it) and if asked or encouraged to wear them I blame it on my bad ankles.  I actually carry myself more professionally when I can walk normally; which I can't do in heels.  My walking distance in heels it from the car to my desk and then off...I use to keep flip flops under my desk.  I'm glad flats are in style now.

1+. I'm glad that my wife doesn't wear them.

same goes, I've never had a girlfriend who wore heels, and I've always thought they're rather silly. I've seen several women even wearing them in winter and falling over on the ice because of it.
