i finally got new shoes. (not in white. taupe and black.) here's hoping they last longer than the last pair.

judging from the sheer number of billboards for blue crush i saw in a concentrated area today, i have to wonder if one of the film's stars or producers lives in that area, and is being appeased by the studio. (there's at least a half-dozen billboards and bus signs in about a one mile stretch on ventura blvd., but none in the surrounding area.)

the really sad part is that i still had to look up the movie name via imdb once i got home to be able to comment on it.

a little late, my july charitable donations:

• local: los angeles regional foodbank
• national: surfrider foundation usa
• international: médecins sans frontières (doctors without borders)
