So, an American Apparel store has added pubic hair to their mannequins.  I don't find it offensive but considering the typical advertising techniques used by the company, I find it incredibly pervy.

Yes, most definitely pervy, but is anyone really shocked by this kind of thing anymore? LOL

ok so I've watched R.I.P.D. twice now and I'm pretty confident in saying there is a good movie in there, it's not the same movie they shot but it's there. just about every element in it is good, there are a couple spots where the CG looks off but other wise I'd never guess so many good things could come together to make something so very average. It isn't a BAD movie but it's not good either, but the potential is there.... oh, and Diva has 7777 posts

I hate it when my non-Hispanic friends mispronounce "dulce de leche". They think it's Italian and say dol-chay, as in Dolce and Gabbana, instead of the correct dool-say. I usually just let it slide, but I think I'm going to start correcting them.

So far, the first two episodes of Obsession: Dark Desires have irritated me because it features women with no balls or any sense of self-preservation. If someone keeps calling you, turn off the goddamn phone. I guess being pretty turns you into a helpless damsel.

I don't get how some artists can be really good will just about everything they draw but then lose their damn minds when they draw women.

If said artist is a straight male, then that is your answer.

I keep smelling different kinds of bread lately. Last night it was dinner rolls and now it is fresh baked bread. I'm enjoying the smells for what they are but they do make me hungry.

Not sure if my math was off, in estimating I'll have about a $1,000+ Federal tax return, or if H & R Block's online return filer is garbage, in telling me it'll be about half that.

I think I hear crickets...

is that what it is, I thought it was tiny frogs or maybe the wind

My job is so laid back that it feels like I'm hardly working during the eight hours.

We are official survivors.

We both made it through the movie Sharknado in it's entirety. I also believe they needed to rename the movie to "Shardnado" because the working title of "f**k You Logic. Sharks." was too long.

Let's say you were traveling through time and two of your prime directives were to 1. not interfere with the course of history and 2. obey the laws of the country in time you are visiting. Just about every day there is a crime being committed in every country, so if you were to go back into time and knew about a major crime before it was to happen or you knew of the identity of a vicious killer and they haven't yet killed all their victims, would you report the crime or identity or stay silent--risking being prosecuted as an accessory because you knew vitally important information--or risk altering history by giving an anonymous tip to the police?

I think I would choose the anonymous tip.

I think I'd go with anonymous tip. This person might be the one that's supposed to be turned in and I'm actually the person to invent the "anonymous tip" phone call, it might be just what the timeline needs.

something weird is going on with my light, it works for 10-20 minutes and then just dies so I turn it off for another 10-20 minutes and it works again... Here's hoping there isn't some electrical problem that burns the house down...

Have you excluded the possibility that the bulbs are dying? If so, I would recommend getting an electrician to look at the problem--maybe google the problem first to see if there is a simple fix that costs you nothing.

So far, I've gotten almost three hours of overtime for this week. Yay? We'll see how much extra it actually earns me before I celebrate.

changing the bulbs was the first thing I did.

I would google but I have no clue where to even start and to be quite honest I don't want to involve the landlord in the matter if I don't absolutely NEED to.

I'm not on a year lease, I'm month to month and both he and his brother only care about the money which means IF there is an electrician it could cost said money which could be an issue. And with that, considering over the years I've become quite paranoid about landlords, and the fact my light is a janky DIY to begin with which makes me think an electrician wasn't involved to begin with, I think it could be far more trouble than just buying a lamp...

I've got a few extra bucks on my Amazon gift card. Should I get some soaps or a Viking Long ship Model?

I caught something yesterday, I'll be sick within a week. I started getting whiny last night, I get whiny just before I get sick and it'll get worse when whatever it is finally kicks in. On the one hand its annoying as hell when whine about stuff, but on the plus side at least I have a precursor that lets be know I'm about to be sick and it doesn't just sneak up on me. Gives me time to try nipping it in the bud and not end up sick...

Is it better to date someone who blames all their problems on themselves or someone who blames others?

I would highly recommend you research "locus of control". You will find your answers there.

Personaly, I'd think somewhere in the middle. I know from personal experience that the first option gets beyond annoying, BUT the other option is equal amounts of bullsh*t so I think a saner balance of the two would be better.

Of course one would prefer to be with someone who knows when the blame is placed squarely on them and when it is on others, but if you only had the two extremes what would be better. I only have experience with someone who places blame on others, so I can't really say if it is better to be the other.
