Ah, the Monday morning post. Sort of a summation of the weekend, what I remember, at least, and avoidance of going to work.

Well, not today. Nothing of true note happened this weekend- mainly some snow (yes. Snow.), visits with friends, calls with family, some shopping, some driving around, and cleaning of the house.

So the problem with this forum is that it is always by necessity at this point a soliloquy. And I've never been all that into the speechifying...well, maybe a bit. But sometimes I just get tired of listening to my own voice. I prefer to have conversations. I prefer to not dive so deeply into my own head. Just because I really don't think there's much in there that anyone else would find interesting.

But I will admit that the idea that others might not find my every word fascinating came with age. Once upon a time, there was a princess. She thought that she was unique. She knew that she was special. She also figured that since she was unique and special, that everyone knew it, and would be interested in everything she said. And so it was. On and on. No one ever told her that she was a pedantic bore. No one really wanted to face her wrath. Because the wrath was very evident right under the surface. So they put up with her, until they didn't.

The end.

But it did end, and there is a happy ending, after all. Because she grew up, got her head out of her ass, and realized that other people have limits of what they find interesting. And a lot of the garbage that passes for mental activity is merely that- potato chips and soda of the mind.

So. And onward. We saw a documentary on BBC America last night about Realdolls. And the men who love them. Oh my. God. It was an hour of very disturbing things. And I can only imagine that all of the men in question live in homes with a certain...funk about them...

And that is my gift to you on Monday morning. Realdoll documentary. Heh.

If the realdolls are what I think they are, they ARE very disturbing. I saw a show about them too (HBO, maybe)?

I'm kind of having this same problem. I feel like everyone is pretty sick of the same old thing I have to say. I can often say very clever & interesting things in comments on other people's blogs, but on my own blog, it's ME ME ME crazy crazy crazy Job Job Job. So, I haven't posted a whole lot this last week.

I remember back when I first started blogging I could come up with some really cool stuff. Maybe I should go mine that old blog and steal from myself. :)

I'm told that you can actually watch the documentary on the BBC America website. Seems someone (oh, I don't know- Kman) was telling everyone at work about it...and they found it...and havoc ensued. Maybe not havoc. Coulda been revulsion.

See Dr lady, I suspect it is a spring cleaning kind of thing. That we have spent the winter hibernating in our own skin, and now need to clean out the drek. That's my theory, anyway.

come on, tell me that a miata, bmw, kawasaki ninja, honda 400 aren't just metal versions of "elastic, heat resistant, flesh like, flavorless and odorless" Sunshine 2000.

Ah, but they don't smell like fish if you forget to clean them. Just exhaust and motor oil.

How you been, dude? Miss you and J.
