07/15/2006: "Green bathwater"

Faithless - Evergreen (Dusted remix)

This + this = the prettiest smelling bath ever and deep emerald green bathwater. I realize it is highly unusual to desire colored bathwater, but there's something about it that's far more relaxing than the clear stuff.

Jeff gave me "mad props" today by linking to my site from his new blog, which in turn let me enjoy all the articles he's written for the BG News. I'm very glad to see I'm not the only one who finds Facebook really creepy. Reading his blog made me realize I haven't seen him since I graduated from college, and I'm hoping I will get to when I head back to Ohio for a few weeks once I'm finished with my final exam, now that he's moved in with my (and his) girl Amy.

My aforementioned dislike of Facebook also extends to MySpace...aside from having issues with the design standpoint (which I've ranted about before), I often wonder, what exactly is the point of it? I've never met a single person on there that I didn't already know, have absolutely no desire to meet any of the total freaks on there who think posting skanky boob shots or macho bare-chested shots is actually cool, and is it really important for strangers to know my favorite music or books? Anyone whose profiles I might leave comments on are all people who I talk to often enough that I would normally just call/text/IM/email anyways. It bores me.

Readership! Awesome! I'm glad you like my stuff and I am looking forward to seeing you again too.

The picture thing is something that I've ranted about before, too. It was something along the lines of there being a rule somewhere that required the person in the picture to look just plain miserable. There seems to be a law that makes it illegal to smile and be happy. And then there's a slightly more nuanced side to that law - more of a common law statute thingy - since the advent of the camera phone that requires any picture from a camera phone be completely off angle and still giving a dramatic "ooh, look at me, I'm completely miserable and I chose to show it by way of the camera phone my parents just bought me today" type of vibe.

The funniest shot is the one of the guy who's ripped and is taking a picture of his mid to lower torso, just above his weiner, so we can all see those glorious lines.

LMAO, yes, the "just above the weiner" shots...and I have got to the be only woman alive who's really put off by guys with those "glorious lines". I like my guys unripped, I guess.

And to be fair about camera phone pictures, I took a few before I got my digital cam, in order to show people new haircuts, and it's rather difficult to get them to be anything but completely off-angle. I smiled in mine though. I'm prettier when I'm not grumpy.
