Custom Boot Option

First of all to all the dads, Happy Father's Day. ;) I got my dad Season 1 of SW Clone Wars for FD.

Now with all these companies I can only just forewarn you that anything could happen. If you have a good/bad/indifferent experience with a company, email me. There can be lemons/bad days, odd production screw ups, etc. So always take a review with a grain of salt.

I found this website when searching for custom boots. Go TallyHo.com I know nothing about this company.

A pair of custom boots for $395 does seem a little cheap. The only review I could find is someone recommended them in a horse forum. So if you're an awkward shape, maybe take a risk.

Brown boots have become a popular thing in the dressage community. I'm not fond of the color brown, but really like them in a boot. Really tempted to get a pair. They can make it in light brown or dark brown at this company. ;)

I was!

Star Wars, USA, and horses. Three of my favorite things. ;)

I was born 27 years ago in Seoul, South Korea on a military base. My first introduction to Star Wars made me cry. The scary aliens in the cantina scene scared me to bits. (I've always been a pansy, I still don't watch horror movies. But I love vampire and werewolf films, if done right.) It wasn't until closer to 11 years of age where I actually re-watched Star Wars and fell in love.

In 6th grade I could recite the entire first movie. By 7th I was trying to remember Empire Strikes Back. I've read all the books up to the Youghuasdlkfsv, whatever those crazy aliens started popping into the books. I wasn't a big fan, so I stopped reading. Though I do read Timothy Zahn's book every now and then. I probably should get new copies mines getting a little worn. I <3 me some Thrawn baby.

I've dressed up as Princess Leia twice. Once properly when I was in middle school, though my honeybuns came out running to the school bus. And second time where I was goth corseted version of Princess Leia. A vice president at school looked at me, smiled, and shook his head. We saw the midnight showing of Phantom Menace that night.

501st is my newest goal. I can't wait for my uniform and start the process of trying to get in. I don't ever call myself the biggest Star Wars nerd in the world. But gosh darn it, it does make me a happy camper.

I have a Stormtrooper fetish. When I was a kid I hated seeing them being shot down. Why are they the bad guys? I mean come on Imperials are sooo much cooler. Their uniforms are far superior to the rebels. :P

If only I could find a man who dresses up in a Stormtrooper uniform, is rich, has season tickets to the Capitals, won't mind the ponies, and deal with me. I mean is that so much to ask! :P

Anyways. I didn't get oodles of presents. But I have to say I had a great day. 2011 has been an up and down year with more ups.

If anybody reads this blog, thank you. I haven't been posting too much boot related stuff lately, but I will. So just hold tight.

Busy over here

So I've been slammed with a lot of things so haven't had any breathing moment to think about this blog.

Well I did think about it a little bit the past two days. I was at Upperville Colt & Horse Show the oldest horse show hosted in the US. It's in Upperville, Va a lovely country city. Where basically the closest motels are like 20 minutes away.

My horse did poorly. My trainer was like sucky birthday present. I'm like whatever. We figured out why she did poorly so I'm not all that upset. The quote, "I have a bad feeling about this", popped into my head multiple times before this show. I think we pushed her and she wasn't ready and she flat out told us.

While I was walking the 10miles a day around the horse show (I swear I lost 20lbs in the past two days), there was a custom boot dealer. I mentioned them before La Mundial. They have custom boots starting at $599. I really did want to talk to the guy, but I was in a bad mood, hot and sweating, and talking to a stranger about their boots required me to be pleasant. I'll probably see them plenty more times this year, so don't worry. ;)
