"First your parents tell you to have hopes and dreams. Then they move you to New Jersey. It makes no sense!"

This happened across the street from my office. I got to my office and saw the news vans, and asked what happened. One of my coworkers lives in the building next door (there's a whole complex of apartment and office buildings), and said she'd heard the shots, but thought it was a car backfiring. Freaky.

I'm wearing my new shoes today at work, and they SUCK. They're comfortable when I've just got them on, but they make my feet hurt so bad when I walk in them. They're soft, so they won't stay on my feet, and I almost took a header down the stairs at the T station, when one slipped off my foot and I walked out of it. Ugh, stupid shoes. :-/
