Tuesday's Tunes: It Is Well With My Soul

No, this is not my collection, but I do want to avoid this very possible reality.

Link: The Seven-Shoe Wardrobe

I came across this great article about the seven essential shoes that a man should have in their collection. I found the list had some great choices and has the definitive goal for versatility and coverage of the various settings a man needs appropriate footwear.

I find myself challenged by the article to take inventory of the many pairs in my collection, and to trim it down by either donating pairs, or the recently discovered option of consigning pairs to Buffalo Exchange. By getting store credit, I can clear some room on the shoe rack and get something for me or my wife at the store. Taking a similar picture of my own shoe collection may give me a good kick in the butt to A) Start this project and B) Stop buying shoes. I don't know how realistic goal B is though...

Tuesday Tunes: Lights

Man, I've had this Pop/Dance song stuck in my head for over a week:

Does whatever a spider can

Faithful readers, if you're down with super-hero movies, please go see the Amazing Spider-man! I'm terrible with reviews, so here's a few quick reasons why you should see it:

• Superior casting to the previous trilogy of Spider-man movies: I can't wait to see more of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as love interest Gwen Stacy.
• It's a fun movie: Non-comic fans might not know this, but Spider-man is known for his wisecracks against the criminals he pursues. We actually get to hear this
• The telling of the origin story doesn't drag: I've heard a lot of people ask "Isn't it too soon for a reboot?" and thus are wary of sitting through a retelling of how Peter Parker becomes Spider-man. Well, no need to fear, it goes by pretty quickly and doesn't hinder the pace (or enjoyment) of the movie.
• My wife liked it: She doesn't mind geeky stuff and likes summer action movies, but didn't like all the tragedy (wah waaaaah) in the previous Spidey movies. This one? She gave it two thumbs up. Do like I do, and listen to my wife.
