A RetroBit Sega Saturn USB Classic Controller for my PC. Should be good for games that require a D-pad. Was only about $10, too.

Returned them today (requested by my folks), with the Superfeet padding.

I'll probably get a replacement this week or next.

I'm a little behind on reporting this, but Kit's post reminded me. Folks in Vancouver tend to favour their Chucks, but savvy sneaker snipers snag Stans. <3

After work I bought a new suit and some snazzy black dress shoes. Wedding-ready! I'll post a pic when I get back. :)

I just bought a new vacuum because my old one just broke. Should be here tomorrow. How thrilling is that...

Yeah, Chucks in particular are huge out here. When I first got here I was told you couldn't be considered a Vancouverite until you owned a pair... I still don't. That said, vintage tennis and running shoes seem very popular here just in general. Tons of classic Adidas, Puma, Vans, Cons. Even the old-school New Balances are starting to take off.

Nice, I've been wearing New Balances for years, but I prefer the older styles. Might have to pick up a pair if I'm ever in Canada again (unless the trend migrates to New York as well...)
