DAMMIT.



You know, some internal consistency in this story might be nice.

I've established that the nanotech makes the recipients alternately exhausted and ravenous as it uses the body's resources to heal it. HOWEVER. I establish that in the second scene where they use it.

Do I have a graceful way of inserting it into the first scene?

Nooooooo.

CRAP.


Nevermind. I can do it by the simple expedient of them making a detour to the kitchen after not!Tony wakes up from, you know, being shot.

In other news, we're going to Vegas this weekend to watch an NHRA race, which should be fun and exciting, but this means I have tons of things to do today, including a visit to the bank, the comic store (new Spike, Solomon Kane, and Chuck comics today, woo!), and Target, for these:



Understand that I don't get shoe lust very often. I own something like...four? pairs of shoes (seriously--a pair of running shoes, a pair of hiking boots, and two pairs of dressy flats, one light and one dark), and have a philosophy that life is too short to don uncomfortable footwear.

But these...they just speak to me on some primal level. I have no idea where I'm going to wear such things, or even if I ever will, because I'm already ridiculously tall and they look terribly uncomfortable, but... DAMN. Must. Have.

Yeah, I don't know either.

OMG YOUR SHOE LUST IS CONTAGIOUS.

AREN'T THEY FAB???

I just hope they have them in my size. Because if they don't I will be a sad anteater.

I knew you'd cave :)

I put Dr. Scholls gel thingies in my heels. They just go under the ball of the foot and keep your foot from slipping forward.

Well, I buy one completely frivolous thing per paycheck, lately. The last one was a Steelers jacket which I didn't need at all because I have a surfiet of jackets, but...Steelers!

But, yeah. If I don't buy them I'll have wanted to for the rest of my life. And they're only thirty bucks.

Those are luscious. Steampunk fashion! If I could wear them, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

That's just what I thought, Steampunk Ruby Slipers! Wish I could wear heels.

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, honestly, I can't wear heels either. I just know the first time I wear them, I'm going to fall down and twist an ankle...

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Me, too.

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Steampunk! Maybe that's why I like them so much. I just hope they have them in my size...

[identity profile] cafedemonde.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, me likey! Do they come in grey?

[identity profile] dollygrip.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I must say, those are fabulous shoes. Great color.

after not!Tony wakes up from, you know, being shot.

Oh, lol.

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
They come in brown, gray, and black as well.

And not!Harry just said "It'll be fine. I'll be fine" to not!Harmony, who is freaking because he's getting ready to go for a full-moon wolf-run--as far as she knows, by himself, because no one but not!Harry knows that not!Pepper is also a werewolf.

Seriously, has he been paying attention? He's been tortured, shot, werewolfized, and vamped, all in less than 48 hours. And is probably going to continue to fulfill the role of My Favorite Punching Bag™ for the foreseeable future.

Seriously, the guy should just find a cubbyhole somewhere and hide for the rest of the story...

[identity profile] dollygrip.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Werewolfized AND vamped? Poor guy... I hope he's like... drinking martinis in a resort in Hawaii getting a massage and some deep therapy in the epilogue.

I think that color is really unique and has a great depth to it.

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He might die. Seriously, I haven't decided yet.

[identity profile] mermaidrain.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! Since I haven't been able to find shoes in my size that are "cute" for years, I've only recently tapped into shoe lust myself. And although I'm a "comfy" shoe kind of gal, I'm finding myself quickly becoming converted to pretty footwear. It's a very SLOW process mind you (because shoes in my size can be expensive and they're STILL hard to find in "cute" styles), but yeah. I have more shoes than I should I think. And Payless is feeding the addiction because they're now catering to my size with current trends. Yeah! ;)

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yay for them doing that! Really, I have no earthly idea where I'm going to wear these things, but I've ordered them, so I guess...I'll have them when I want them? Or something.

[identity profile] mermaidrain.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
But they're SO cute! LOL! ;)

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW. And this is why I actually ordered them rather than going "Eh, missed that boat, no big."

I just hope they fit.

[identity profile] mermaidrain.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Payless does this thing where I can order the shoes in my size from their website (usually can't find them in the stores) and have them delivered to a store here for free. And if I try them on and they don't fit, I can return them to the store without having to pay postage. SO very cool. Does Target do something like that for you?

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Alas, no. But they have a liberal return policy, so if they don't fit I'll be able to send them back or maybe return them to a store.

You know, if I'd been smart, I would have checked Walmart, because they have free site-to-store shipping on most things. Too late now. And I just checked, because I was morbidly curious, and they didn't have them.

[identity profile] mermaidrain.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I would assume with something that pretty that they'd be store specific. ;)

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I always thought Mossimo was a national brand, but Walmart doesn't have ANY of their stuff.

[identity profile] dragonflymuse.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Want. Shoe!

[identity profile] agilebrit.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. Unfortunately, my local Targets have apparently stopped carrying them. *cries*

I can get it online, but I hate to buy a shoe without trying it on...
