Tammy Shoes

Who Is Jack Purcell?

On Wednesdays, I went out with my grandma (as I think I mentioned). Somewhere along the way, I got a pair of new shoes to make up for two pairs that I’m tired of repairing. I stepped into the Converse shop and chose between two designs (the more expensive one too ): ) and prayed very hard that they would have a size for my big feet. It wasn’t exactly the best fit, but it fit, and that’s all that matters. So, for I think the first time in my life, I got myself a pair of Converse trainers. I call them Tammy Shoes because this girl I know is the only one around me who consistently wore such trainers. Or maybe she didn’t and I just imagined that. I haven’t seen her for a while so I can’t check.

Not having very much of sports knowledge beyond football and basketball, I had no idea who Jack Purcell was. I thought he designed the shoes. I came home to read his wiki to find out that he was world champion of badminton at one point in time. There’s not much in that article, but he already sounds like a brilliant man.

Where Did My Feature Go?

I really wanted to do up a Feature for today, but I just couldn’t bring myself to yesterday, so all you get is this rather normal looking post. I spent half the day doing up my music properly (tags and stuff), then the other half on television and Valkyria Chronicles. Speaking of which, I’m on the last chapter. The previous mission seemed very intimidating at first, but I think it’s very manageable with proper planning and a bit of luck. And plenty of potentials. But only if you know what’s going on.

What Are You Doing Today?

The National Museum in the morning, and then I’ll be off to have tea or something with my parents. Nothing in particular at the museum. Just meeting a friend so that I don’t strangle myself with all this excess boredom.

What’s Up For The Remaining Bits Of The Holidays?

I imagine more of the same, really. Music, finishing up a couple of games, some reading, and just catching up on things in general. I think I’ll be doing some research in anticipation of my highly likely rejection. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll do a bit of writing, though I highly doubt it. Oh yes, I’ll have to start preparing for school, of course.

And with that I’m off.
