Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately:

1) Life's pretty unfair sometimes. Loud music hurts your ears, food that tastes awesome is bad for you, really good looking guys tend to be poison. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a massive didactic video game.

2) Why are credits always FIRST in feature length kid's cartoons? What the heck kind of hook is that?

3) When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is wash my face. I can't stand to have the "dirty face" feel. But why is the skin on our face so sensitive? I don't wake up and think, "Oh man, I've got to wash my forearm, it's soooo bothering me right now." Biologically it would make more sense to have rough, scaly face skin, because it's always exposed to the elements. We should have feet skin on our faces. Not attractive, but practical!

Thoughts lately:

1) I get a lot of reactions to my Tweets and FB posts. People seem to think my life is interesting - it's really not, I just make it sound that way. For instance last week I chased the Goodyear blimp and dropped my cell into a vat of boiling water. All true. Is it amazing or interesting? No, not really. I think it's human nature to chase blimps, and dropping things is a constant. The boiling water comes as a by-blow of canning tomatoes. It's the dichotomy of the two things when placed side by side that makes me sound fun :)

2) So in today's world we've got genetically modified foods like tomatoes that ripen more quickly and stay firm longer and corn that can defend itself against pests. So why hasn't anyone made lawn grass that only grows to a certain length?

3) Hey ladies - why the hell do we open our mouths while we put mascara on? What's up with that? Have you ever tried NOT to open your mouth when putting mascara on? Not possible. It's like a biological imperative.

Thoughts lately:

1) Technology is great, until it is not. We want everything fast, and we want it now, and if it doesn't happen immediately we wait a bit and then walk away from it, or make it refresh. However, usually some time has passed before we hit the irritation point of walking away while something "processes." *Technically* this makes no sense, as whatever we're waiting is closer than it was before our irritation set in.

2) Men like boobs. Not a revelation, I know. But men definitely have the leg up (ha ha) on women when it comes to the dating arena. One glance at us and they know our boob size. We don't find out their measurements until we're at intimate stages. The only solutions I have for this is a massive social revolution where men wear penis identification badges on their chests at all times, or it is illegal for a man to glance at a woman's chest until he's decided he likes her for her personality. I don't see either of these things happening.

3) If dust really is 80% comprised of dead skin cells, then why is there dust in my house after the whole family has been on vacation for a week?
