Mind Numbing
No, not my mood. The Miss USA pageant is on. When I was a kid, I used to like watching it, look at all the pretty girls. Now it seems kind of like a dog show for people. If you threw something shiny would any of them play fetch?
Okay, no offense to the contestants. I know they're people. And for some this is probably a good career move and all. But this isn't really a way to find out anything about them as people, just trained performers (kind of like pets), and with the state of the world these days, it seems a bit silly.
(Rant over.) Back to our regularly scheduled blogging.

yeah it seems like a bizarre antiquated ritual, doesn't it? is there a male equivalent, if not, even more bizarre. although with all those pretty contestants thinking about world peace, it can't be all bad.
Let's see, for men? Judged on your looks and performance of tasks that aren't really all that useful in daily life?
That sounds a bit like professional sports. Since this happens every weekend, does that mean we're even worst than the women?
(Wait, what am I saying? Let's call that a rhetorical question, okay?)
*laughing*
yeah, sports, religion...
ooh, i saw it too! and btw, how fake and plastic did those girls look?!
and man, what is up with all these nonvowel-ed word verification things? (mjzyc)
Yeah, I "happened" to glance over when the swim suit part was on, and they all had the same suits and shoes (looked to me), and it kind of felt like a Stepford Wives moments.
tee tee kay zee que - deosn't sound much better that way, either.
