Friday stuff

[eleneariel]

Since my collection of water-proof books is slim (read: nonexistant), when I'm bored in the shower I usually resort to reading the backs of the various bottles. (For being the only two women in the house my mum and I have an alarming ability to collect hundreds of bottles of stuff in the shower.) But the horror, oh, the HORROR: Finesse Soy and Silk Conditioner may be great for the hair, but they hired a lousy proofreader.

True beauty is more than skin deep. But tell that to your hair. The surface - the cuticle more precisely is where your hair's beauty is more evident.

Ack.

Who thought up Pizza Hut's Sicilian Lasagne Pizza idea? Let's think this through.

Pizza = good
Lasagne = very good
Pizza + lasagne = why mess up two good things? WHY?

And finally, a very important announcement: Ladies and gentlemen, I have MUSCLES in my ARMS. *faint* The gym workouts are paying off. Woohoo!

Hafta go clean now since I won't be around tomorrow. Bah. Saturdays were meant to be spent at home. =P

Funny that you should mention it: I had that exact same thought when I saw a commercial for the Sicilian Lasagna Pizza before dinner.

I knew you'd be properly horrified.

Hey, aren't you impressed with my arm muscles? *squee*

PS - love how both our icons have arms akimbo. ; )

[savetheolives.livejournal.com]

Very!

I remember when I was a kid trying to come up with some sort of plastic transparent device that would allow you to read a book while you took a bath or shower. :-)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I used to dream of just such a thing.

I always read in the bath (with the book safely on the floor OUTSIDE the tub, of course), but now I don't have time for that anymore...

I've noticed that the older I get, the harder it is to find time to read in general. :-/ I've been basically forcing myself to take at least 20 minutes to work on Neuromancer before I go to sleep. It's been good to force myself to get into reading again. It's been at least a year since I've read any fiction. I read a lot of non-fiction, but some how that's really different.

I read shampoo bottles, too. Even when I know every single word by heart. It's a disease.

Congratulations on the muscles!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

And cereal boxes and milk cartons, right? And anything with words on it?

Yes, me too.

[ex-blackswa.livejournal.com]

Oh absolutely.

Do you know the medical terminology for this insiduous affliction?

[ex-blackswa.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I spelt insidious wrong. Ack!

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. It has a name?

readingmania? obsessive-compulsive reading?

*quakes in fear*

Oh yeah, congratulations on the muscles! :-) Those are things I wish I had more of. =) *really needs to get back into doing daily exercize*

[ex-blackswa.livejournal.com]

I used to have them, too---when we owned a hay farm. Now I'm a city girl--and muscles are non-existent.

[http://users.livejournal.com/patrick___/]

Oh yeah, lifting hay bales would definitely build muscles. I used to have more muscles as a janitor. :-D Now I'm a computer programmer, and I'm turning into nothing but flab. :-O

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Librarianship does that to you as well. =P It's kind of sad I have to PAY to develop any kind of muscles now...

And lest you invision me as turning into wonder woman, I'm be ashamed to try to to show them off. But when you go from stick-skinny arms, even little teeny tiny muscles are something to celebrate!
