Items of Interest


Yesterday at the grocery store, I knocked over a 2 liter of Mountain Dew. It exploded all over my shoes. I squish-squished Mountain Dew all the way home and now I don't know how to clean my shoes. Do you think I should just put them in the washing machine? I had to wear new shoes to work today and now I am blistery.

I am preparing questions for those requesting interviews, but you guys need to make sure I have an email address to mail them to. Please use my "contact me" address to send your current email. Even if you think I have it. Cause I don't. I'm trouble like that.

Thomas and I went with Kathy to see this awesome Korean monster movie called The Host. They got me to agree to come along by describing it as a cross between The Royal Tennenbaums and Godzilla. Somehow I misunderstood that to mean that it was The Royal Tennenbaums, with super-special crazy re-dubbing, and was kind of dissapointed to learn that it was not, but I should not have worried. It was great fun: funny and with really remarkably good CGI. Highly recommended.

How did it explode? Was it already partially open? I've never heard of unprovoked Mountain Dew explosions. But I must say, the threat is very frightening.

I love Korean films! They're often so cheesy but I love them. By the way, Megs, how is Mr. Turtle?

Megs said...

Kim, I guess it exploded because it fell off the shelf. I don't know. It hated me.

HAT, Oscar Peterson is doing well. I'm planning a post on him for next week. He poops a lot.

Yup, I don't see how you could clean them any other way but throwing them in the wash. That sucks.

I'm totally too late chiming in here, aren't I? But I genuinely WANT to help with shoe-cleaning problem. However, I'll need a lot more information. Let's start with materials used on upper and sole. (Leather probably isn't going to wash well. FYI. But perhaps you've already learned this the hard way...)

Daisy :)
Sole is rubber, upper is cotton mesh, suede and elastic.

I'm too lazy to have done anything with them yet. Let me know.
