After the first episode of annoying ER-esque drama, Carnivale is back to its usual opacity. Whew. I was worried. Does anyone other than me actually watch the show, though?

In other slightly odd news, I think my feet may be shrinking. I put on a pair I'd bought last year this morning, and it was like I was a little kid wearing my mom's heels - there was a pronounced gap between my foot and my shoe all around. My feet are small enough as-is. GRRR.

This weekend, I watched a couple of movies, caught a teeny little cold, and spent entirely too much on dance-related stuff.

On the shoe thing (and showing my utter ignorance of bellydance): Do you point your toes a lot in your dance classes? My sister was a ballet/pointe dancer up until college, and it made a noticeable difference in her shoe size: pointy toe --> higher arch --> shorter heel-to-toe length --> smaller shoe size. (And no shoes ever had built-up enough arch supports for her). I never had that problem; I do tap rather than ballet.

Or it could just be that it's REALLY FRIGGIN' COLD and your feet have shrunk accordingly. (I've been having to keep a close eye on my suddenly-too-loose wedding ring for just that reason....)

I never knew that about ballet. I think yoga has the opposite effect; we practice spreading our toes out and grounding ourselves on bare feet, and I have gone from an 8 1/2 to a 9.

I didn't know that about yoga. So, theoretically, my foot would be more likely to expand, since I'm doing yoga but not ballet.

well, it's entirely anecdotal based on my own feet! If your arch is getting higher as a result of better posture, your feet could be a smaller size?

Huh, I hadn't thought about that. I think bellydance is foot-size neutral. A little bit of foot pointing, but a lot of flat-footed stuff.

I don't think it's totally the cold, since my other shoes fit the same, but it may be making the whole foot thing more noticeable - I've noticed other older shoes feeling a little big, but nothing like this until this am.
