Supernatural dream

So, I had this awesome dream last night!

( Supernatural Dream )

In other news, I'm wearing some new shoes today. I bought them quite a while ago to wear with my gold dress that I'll be wearing to two of the weddings I'm going to this year. However, I'm not sure I'll be wearing the shoes now! They're not very high, heel-wise, and they're quite comfortable, but I can't walk in them. They're slip-ons, with no strap around the ankle or anything, which I generally shy away from, but I thought I'd give these a go because they're not that high.

However, the sole (not the bit on the ground but the top part that your foot is on) is really slippery! It's nice and soft, sort of mole-skin-like, but slippy as hell, which means walking around I'm constantly clenching my toes to stop the shoe flying off! Which it has done on a couple of occasions anyway. Grrr!

So as long as I don't have to walk anywhere, I'm fine!

Looks as though I still need to find some shoes then. *sigh* Maybe I'll find some in Greece when I'm out there.

My problem is that my feet are so small that finding nice strappy shoes with a heel is almost impossible (and I need a heel, especially with this dress, as it makes my legs look not half bad, and also any added height is a good thing when you're scraping 5 feet tall!).

(no subject)

Snerched from kyizi:

Tell me what you want me to take a picture of that you were always curious about. Be it my dvd collection, my bed (you pervert!), my favourite cookies, my shoes...whatever. Ask me and I may indulge.

Annoyed

My mp3 player (aka Milo) is acting up. He's been dying on me in the middle of songs, and sometimes after starting up, I press play and get about 2 seconds of song before it dies again. Then, without any prompting from me, it starts up again.

And, before you start suggesting that it's the battery, I put a brand-spanking new one in (I'm that daft!). It's still doing the same thing. Sometimes it works for about 20 minutes and then inexplicably dies.

I think he's going to have to go back to Argos. Thank goodness I bought a year's guarantee along with him. It's not like I've been treating him badly either - he hasn't been dumped in water or anything silly like that!

Grrr! I'm just annoyed! I've got used to walking around listening to music, and I've now discovered, after backtracking to find a post office that I hadn't actually gone past yet, that when I'm not listening to music, I get so caught up in my own thoughts that I have no idea what's going on around me, and that I'm likely to get mown down by a bus! *sigh*

I'll need my music for travelling to Corfu - it'll keep me awake at four in the morning when I'm queuing to check-in my luggage!!

Climate change petition

If any of you feel strongly about climate change and the need to think about the future, please read the following (also bear in mind that I didn't write it, that's why it sounds the way it does!):

Dear friends,

I thought you would like to know about a new organisation, Avaaz, that is setting up a massive global pressure campaign to demand government action on climate change.

This week, the official UN body on climate science announced that humankind can avert a climate catastrophe--but only if politicians change course, and fast. Avaaz has set up a tool allowing anyone in the world to send their national leaders a personal message on this issue.

The scientific report will be meaningless if it's not backed up by a global outcry. Click here to send a message to world leaders:

Sign the petition here

Avaaz.org is a community of global citizens who take action on the major issues facing the world today. Its aim is to ensure that the views and values of the world’s people -- and not just political elites and unaccountable corporations -- shape global decisions. Avaaz.org members are taking action for a more just and peaceful world and a vision of globalization with a human face. Avaaz means "voice" or "song" in a variety of Asian, Middle Eastern and European languages. There are already 1 million people from 189 countries in the Avaaz.org community.

I'm never convinced how much these petitions work (witness the Road Tax fiasco) but it can't hurt to sign it.
