I like to think that if I could look like this all the time, I'd be happy. Of course we all know that wouldn't really happen (either the happiness or me looking like that all the time) but I can't say there isn't a grain of truth in the whole "it is better to look good than to feel good" philosophy. You know what they say about smiling and happiness: Fake it 'til you make it, baby. Trouble is, I don't feel like I look good, I certainly don't feel good, and finally it doesn't have anything to do with my hair. Which is pretty fucking awesome today in its level of curl thanks to high humidity and no need for a hat.

Speaking of no need for a hat, you'd think that the spike in temperatures would help my mood. But no. I'm less dizzy today (change in barometric pressure? sun spots? actual improvement in health? who knows!) but my stomach is weird. I'm exhausted. My joints ache. I'm sinking into a blue fugue from a combination of a whole bunch of shit, physical and emotional, and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. You've all heard it before.

Three things that gave me a smile:

Shoe monument for man who threw footwear at Bush. TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) – An Iraqi town has unveiled a giant monument of a shoe in honor of the journalist who threw his footwear at former U.S. President George W. Bush.

and

slinka's very clever response to the latest head-scratch-blink-blink-WTF? movement by those nutty religious wackadoos.

and

middnightclear for the original photo I used to make the icon for this post. If the weather is still this nice when I get off work today, I just might go buy me a pack of ciggies.

Yes, the look good/feel good philosophy is interesting because if I look good, I do feel better, and if I feel good, I look better. Spiral going UP, please~! I only felt bad yesterday when I walked into Beauty Brands and the gals at the salon had such chic hairstyles and color. But I got myself the South Beach Bronzed to Perfection nail color and had a tech put it on me right then, and voila! Felt better.

.. and now I think I need to fill up my own blog on this subject, thanks for the boost!

Re: The Movement.

They can't possibly be serious. First abstinence and now THIS?!?!?

If that's wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

Yeah, well, the Right is pretty fucked up these days. I wouldn't wanna be among them, either.
