Geez, relax. This is the first time I've seen my desk in a week. We had a special event at the zoo last Tuesday that required much running around on my part, I had visits two hours away on Wednesday, then a trip to one of our guinea pig schools to start picking up animals (An albino pig called Simple Simon is living at my house right now, soon to be joined by half a dozen of his friends), then Thursday, Friday, and Monday were spent at zoo camp. I got called in as extra help because we had a kindergartener who is blind attending. You're bitching about your forum, but I was busy playing seeing-eye Carolyn to a kid at the zoo. That sounds like a really insensitive way to put it, but it's the truth and I'm too tired to sugar it up.
So here are my comments on what I've read recently at the forum and the blog:
1. Sam, you are a true math geek when you create a formula to explain/quantify your boob ogling tendencies. You should be proud. :)
2. Thumbs up for the salt scrub. The only problem is having to scrub oil out of the tub later.
3. I forgot.
4. Oh, now I remember.
5. I like the choice of love songs for Emily's CD. Emily, you should include that one. I would also like to nominate a far sillier but still cute love song: Be My Yoko Ono, by Barenaked Ladies. What says "I love you" like lyrics such as, "If I was John and you were Yoko I would gladly give up musical genius/ just to have you as my very own personal Venus..." I suppose if you want to read more into the song it suggests something depressing about what we give up for love, but if you take it at face value, you can still feel warm and fuzzy about the lyrics "barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand in hand in love".
6. Glad you liked the magnet. I instantly thought of you when I saw it.
7. I too, will confess to watching trash tv. No Jerry, certainly no Married by America, and I would sooner eat glass than watch Fear Factor or Mr. Personality, but....
I've been sucked in by American Idol. Those poor people don't seem to get that within a week of the show ending their fifteen minutes of fame will be up. They just keep going out and singing crappy songs, letting Simon abuse them, and crying when they get booted, as if it comes as a surprise that they aren't getting a recording contract instead. I keep watching, trying to figure out how that blonde brat Carmen stays on every week when she can't sing for shit. I'm fascinated by the show. I'm fascinated by the idea that *millions* of people are watching and calling in to vote for who they want to win the competition. Are all the people who dialed and redialed to vote for Kelly Clarkson still fans? Do they have Kelly posters on their walls? Would they camp out to get tickets to see her play? Perhaps, but I have a hard time believing it.
I'm getting off track. Point is, I watch trash telivision. I would like to call it embracing American pop culture (or however you tried to make it sound less shameful), but the fact is, I'm probably just as numb as any other brown polyester flare-legged pants wearing fool out there. :)
7. There's more, but I'm too tired to write. Besides, I have to go get ready to show bugs to preschoolers. Bleh.
