new years predictions
my predictions are this:
1) i will buy a new pair of trousers which will then become my favourites
2) i will get some new DM boots as my current ones have massive holes in
7) i will learn to count
4) my hair will grow longer and i will occasionally get it cut
5) i will find things in the street and photo and blog them
6) things will happen, some expected, some un-expected.
a) i will write alphabetical lists instead
8) i will give up writing lists (after this first attempt) and leave list writing to much better bloggers
9) generally something, blah blah
I predict this will be your first comment of 2004.

it's looking like i may need to replace my colour cartridge in my printer.
I still have every pair of Docs that I've owned, and none of them yet have holes in them.
You must do some serious walking.
the holes are caused by a combination of distance (i average at least 4 or 5 miles a day of walking i suspect) and lack of polish which causes the holes.
i do try to hop occasionally to focus the wear on to one boot (then the other).
There is an interesting book which delves into excruciating detail about the possible mechanics of walking in relation to shoe wear (in particular, shoelace breakage.)

Gripping, I tell you.
