do you ever have an idea for a serious post, but know that in your current mood, you'll ruin the entire concept and explain it so badly that the sentiment will be lost to you forever? perhaps that's why i know i'm not in for some serious writing. i hate to revise. i always reach a point where i think there is a gem of goodness in what i'm writing, but if i try to rework it to shine up the clarity, i'll lose everything that was worth reading. i'm at that point this very minute, so don't expect anything sensible here now, i'll try to return to my serious thoughts tomorrow...if i can..
meantime....here's a "wrongness" alert..
my nanny gets at least three catalogs a day. i don't mean useful catalogs for things like gardening, cooking, household stuff, or other useful supplies. no, she gets the things you never (knew you) needed but can afford because it's cheap crap catalogs. they sell things like return address labels with cute little pictures on them, and all sorts of things.
it can suck you in, i swear.
my current favorite is the bracelet that lights up when your cell phone rings. this is wrong on so many levels.
first of all, who doesn't have a cell phone that lights up when it rings? mine does. if i won't see my cell phone light up, i'm probably too blind to see the bracelet light up.
second, they recommend you use this in a movie theater so your cell ringer won't disturb the rest of the audience. do you think the bracelet lighting up isn't disturbing? shuffling around to dig out the cell phone isn't bothering? elbowing the person beside you and stepping on her toes as you rush by her to go outside answer your phone isn't annoying? i think the ringer isn't the entire problem.
finally, the bracelet is one of the ugliest things i've ever seen. people with taste that bad should not be allowed to have cell phones...
it's just wrong. wrong, wrong, wrong.

that's insane.
I want one!
And I answer my phone while I'm still in the theater. I duck down a bit, cup my mouth and the phone and talk. You can't even hear me. I'm so smooth.
I never knew they made light-up bracelets. I've seen light-up keychains, and pens, and buttons, which all suck and look stupid. People like you make me sick JJenn, the last thing I want to hear during a movie, is the person next to me whispering Mexican vulgarities down the phone.
jenn, tell me where to send..i'm giving you one :p
Mexican is NOT a fucking language already. Sonofabitch. It's all over the blogs. Andrew, the person next to me can't even hear me whispering. I said "you can't hear me." There's been times the person I'm with is like, "What were you doing?" And I tell them, "I was on the phone" and it trips them out 'cause they had no clue. So eat it!
To my house Chelle! I used to have this one that you were supposed to put on your phone, but I hung it from my rear view which really helped me from missing calls when I had the radio blasting, which is always.
