Running couch potato
 

Last night while running I saw a fellow runner holding a portable mini-disc (DVD??) player out in front of him in mid run. He was watching a movie.

I have no idea what to think about this.

You're just begging for a pedantic disquisition on the trinity from atticus, aren't you?

Mary Carey
 

I saw the last five minutes of Joan and Melissa, who is getting really freaky looking. and Melissa picked Mary Carey for worst dressed. I was like, who the hell is this and ddecided it had to be Mariah Carey after she gained some weight. I take it this is not Mariah Carey?

Just say "hi, Thurgreed" and move on.

Mary Carey
 

She and Mariah may in fact be the same person. I'm not ruling it out until I see them both in the same place at the same time. It could be a split personality thing like Vickie/Nicky on One Life to Live. Pop diva/porn star.

Mary Carey
 

Pop diva/porn star is not a split personality.

Yeah. I hate when this happens. Especially the fifth time. But damn, they taste good.

Good use of "disquisition."

Neuroses Test
 

Your score is 55.

You are slightly neurotic, and fairly enlightened as well.

Same here. No wonder you dig me.

Neuroses Test
 

I have a score of 43 but am also slightly neurotic and fairly enlightened. This doesn't seem right. There should be a material difference in neuroses between 43 and 55, but yet they say I'm just as neurotic as you are. Not right at all.

In better news, this site also offers a test to determine ARE YOU DAMNED TO HELL!


(Edited to add, my results were:

Your score is 54.

At present, it looks like you are headed to Purgatory. Your test results indicate that you have conflicting beliefs and actions. When these beliefs and actions merge harmoniously, you will find inner peace and embark on your journey to Heaven or Hell.

So I'm as blessed as Jack is Neurotic. But neither are getting us very far.

And further edited to add: I think this is bogus in part because they asked my religion and probably began with misconceptions about who Catholics are, since I'm basically a pinko-feminist, quasi-mystical, anti-papacy Catholic, which means there's nothing contradictory about any of it)

What's the point in taking the test, really?
Aren't we already damned to hell (since, you know, we're lawyers and all that?)

Sunscreen doesn't work
 

LONDON, Sept. 29 — Sunscreen creams cannot fully protect people against an increasingly common form of skin cancer even when correct amounts are applied, according to research published on Monday.
Professor Roy Sanders, a consultant plastic surgeon with RAFT, the Restoration of Appearance and Function Trust, said suncreams were much less effective at blocking ultraviolet A (UVA) light, which can cause the skin cancer melanoma, than UVB.
“When ultraviolet A impinges on the skin it triggers the release of highly reactive chemicals called free radicals which we believe can induce a malignant change,” he told BBC Radio.
“Since ambient sunlight is principally ultraviolet A and since sunscreens protect mostly against ultraviolet B, if we use the sunscreens it may increase the risk of us developing a rather unpleasant cancer called malignant melanoma,” he said.

Which, I guess, is different from that "pleasant" cancer, just regular melanoma.

I got a 50 and am also headed to purgatory. I really had counted on a lower score and clear shot to hell, but there were too few sex questions.



Edit -- this reminds me of a DC area bar that I liked when I was there called Heaven and Hell in Adams Morgan. Is that place still around? Paigow? RP? I used to like to go to hell and sit in Satan chairs while listening to Tool or some other driving loud music. I'm warped like that though.
