I Hate Crocs - Part Three


As you'll recall, we've taken hits on the dreaded Croc here and here.
Then, the company's stock took a serious hit.

And now, finally, national vindication.

These are the only shoes my sister in law's children wear. And they're covered with those ridiculous little whatchamacallits... which have choking hazard for her 7 month old written all over them if you ask me. Adults who wear them? Do they have an idea how ridiculous they look? Yes, even you, Mario Batalli! And to top it off, last week I saw a pair of lined crocs, like for winter or something. Who decided it was a good idea to comgine two of the worst foot trends in recent history -- crocs and uggz?

Apologies for being incommunicado this week and hope none of you out there are too distraught not to be receiving the usual almost-daily MotV missives.

This experience has made me realise how rigorously un-academic I am in my thinking. It has also illuminated how reliant I am on red wine in order to get through endless evenings typing furiously on my laptop, not to mention the fueling of increasingly colorful curses that I feel obliged to aim at the University's online library system which consistently refuses to spit out any of the journals I'm desperate for (I refuse to believe this is 100% due to my technical incompetence...)

I'm not sure I want to stay in Dubai for ever, but I'm also not sure about how long I want to be here for or where else I would like to live. For almost the first time ever, I have no fixed plans apart from keeping my eyes and mind open to interesting opportunities. And as to going 'home', I have no idea where that is. Constantly moving around as a child left me with the feeling that 'home' is wherever I am right now, so in effect 'home' could be anywhere. The longest I've ever lived in one fixed place was 18 years in London, on and off, but that doesn't feel like 'home' either - I love going back to see family and friends, and it's a great place to shop, but that's about it. I have a great love for California, which is where my extended family is from (and where most of the
