Fashion Show

I've always wondered who wears the clothes that designers show during a fashion show. Fashion Week is an entire week that the fasion world dedicates to coming together and showing off the best of the best designs. One of the many things that pop into my head that I wonder about during the day, while sitting in my office trying VERY hard to not watch YouTube now that I've discovered it, is why designers make clothes that I can't imagine a person wearing unless they were paid to. These freakish designs would frighten small children if a soccer mom wore them to drop their own terrified children off at practice, so why make them? So much money and time goes into these designs that seem pointless from my very humble perspective. Although, Lady Gaga has seemed to find crazy designs to be very flattering...maybe I'm wrong? Yet again, something that I wonder about in my spare time! :^)

Amazing

I work in an office full time doing miscellaneous things. No need to get into what it is that I do for work right now :^) But while I was working I was presented with the task of figuring out why our internet was slow and why our server was over crowded. I'm not good with computers and beyond doing internet searches am pretty useless, so I had to work with our IT people to figure out what was going on. Apparently the people in our office spend an inordinate amount of time watching things on YouTube. I had no idea that there was anything so interesting on YouTube that someone would risk their job looking at videos on YouTube for 5 hours out of an 8 hour day. That is until I thought of this topic and looked at YouTube for a while myself. Three hours later I'm writing this and giving you all examples of the stupidity that is YouTube! Enjoy!!

The Lovely Bones

A few months back I read the book The Lovely Bones. When reading it I was completely creeped out. There's something very disconcerting to me about a book where the narrator is a young girl who was murdered. The book was very good. It was overly descriptive giving me a very clear picture of what the writer wanted me to feel, almost see, and sense about the events taking place. To sum it up, The Lovely Bones was VERY well written.

This weekend I dragged my oh-so-significant-other to see the movie based on The Lovely Bones. I was UBER EXCITED! After liking the book so much I was amped for the movie figuring it was going to put all of those creepy feelings into "life" on the big screen. Unfortunately, it seems that I expected too much of the film. My significant other almost fell asleep. If it weren’t for my constant poking him in the arm, he probably would have had a nice nap. I'm lucky he still puts up with me after me making him sit through that movie.

I think this case is typical of most books made into movies. After liking a book so much and creating the scenes in my head, there really is no way to live up to the fantastic movie I made in my own mind while reading. I really hope I'm not the only one that has that problem!
