Hmmmm - watch those scissors, Mac!

A barber shop closed for eye surgery? Suspicious.

Snapped with the Motorola V330 while attending a wedding reception at the Oklahoma State Capitol building today. Not sure I want the official state barber cutting my hair after eye surgery. Yikes!

Advertisers fight back | News.blog | CNET News.com

Read this article about some marketing exec calling advertising "one of the most socially responsible industries in America". That made me laugh uncontrollably for a little bit. Advertising is and continues to be more deceptive and full of nonsense that this gasbag can't form a proper defense to why advertising causes "social ills". To me, it's just another high-level form of social control through public manipulation, but that's just me. I love advertisers. I mean loathe.

I love scented candles!

Especially the ones from Yankee Candle, and while they are quite a bit more expensive than the generic scented candles from the likes of Wal-Mart (where I refuse to shop unless held up at gunpoint) or Kohl's (decent department store "outside the mall"), the scent their "Housewarmer" candles expunge (in a good way) into the air makes my day. The Vanilla Caramel and Peppermint Cocoa are nicely delectable choices (for the upcoming holiday/cold season). Since I am into holistic nutrition, I let these scents take me away - I smell and get satisfied instead of eating all that refined sugar and partially-hydrogenated soybean oil and poisoning myself. Let the smells do the walking.
