BTW ... I should have been clearer in #3 ... I didn't mean that your ex had triggered a TiVo reset. Just was figuring, y'know, big city full of interesting women and all ...
Is a mid-trip recount anything like an election recount? If so, maybe we change the results of Ogged's trip so they're more to our liking. It hasn't worked with elections so far, but maybe it will on this scale.
I'm feeling really stupid about this one, because, obviously, it wasn't important, and she was so damn attractive. My only solace is that I don't live in L.A., so it was hopeless anyway.
I had a co-worker at an old job put up that picture as his desktop image. They made him take it down about an hour later. "It's art!" he said. "I don't care," he was told.
That seems perfectly appropriate to me, if his desktop was somewhere where other people would have had to see it. Photographs of skull trepanations may be art, but I wouldn't necessarily want to look at them in the course of my working day.
Yeah, he knew he was goading them, and given people's varying sensibilities, making him take it down seemed reasonable. I'm not sure I agree that Aspyre's site is NSFW though; there's a difference between putting the picture up on your computer, and having it up in a browser window, especially given that you work at a university and lots of people will recognize it immediately.
Hey, jerko, I didn't say that was the only reason, just sufficient. Anyway, you can't hurt me more than the ex hurt me: "Did you notice that she got of the pool and sat there stretching?" "Oh yes, I noticed." "She was waiting for you to talk to her."
especially given that you work at a university and lots of people will recognize it immediately
Except for uncultured Philistines like myself, fine, fine, I surrender. I'm really worried more about the browser cache, but then again they'd hardly bother to fire me for this. (But I'd better not have that up during office hours, so I won't be reading it now.)
I had no intention of displaying lewd imagery, but I don't find nudity offensive, especially in the context of classical art. It's not like Bouguereau was painting pr0n.
Sounds like you're having a really fun time, that's great.

Re: Versailles: The one on La Cienega is a tad more laid back. Their beef stew is wonderful - p'rhaps they have a better chef.

But more importantly ... is it time to reset the TiVo yet?
Oh, and you should have gone to see Jon Brion at Largo last night, but I forgot to make the recommendation. Sorry.

This blog at least has the potential to produce a paper trail, so I guess it would depend on the election district.

"I think I disagreed with her in the first five seconds."
Attaboy, ogged, way to stand up for your ideals! I'm SURE it was about something important.

Yawn. All quiet and boring over here.
Hey -- went to the grocery store tonight and they had a sign proclaiming a sale on "avacado"
2 for $1. Anyone want some?
Posted by profgrrrrl | Link to this comment | 05- 1-05 6:25 PM
PG, we ALL want some, but we're also afraid it would destroy the blog if we got it.

Aspyre, your goddamn blog is NSFW.

It's art, Meaner.

You can get postcards of trepanned skulls at the International Museum of Surgical Science right here in Chicago!

This is my favorite ogged comment to date; it is distilled essence of 'haus. Because that's why it wouldn't work out.
(Also, I can no longer function without SpellChecker for my browser. How do non-FF folks deal with it?)
