Over on Facebook, Heike wondered what a 50-year-old Severus Snape would look like with grey streaks in his hair. I've discovered that he looks like Stacy London!! Aaaaugh!!!
Happy birthday anyway, you sexy thang!
(I mean Snape - not Stacy!)
I wonder why 50 looks so much better on you then it does on me?

I HATE WINTER!!!
This is not a black & white picture. Notice the red on the dials. It's just a colorless winter morning as I'm driving to work.

Does anyone know of some fun Christmas stuff online?
I host the senior computer club (beginners over the age of 60) at our library and their often ask, "But what will I DO on the computer?". Yes, I know...a foreign concept to most us. They learn the mechanics but they don't seem to understand sitting in front of it and "doing" something other than playing solitaire and emailing old jokes.
So...I'd like to show them some fun Christmas stuff this month.
So far I've got: a game, Chicken Invaders Christmas Edition and a Times Square web cam.
Other ideas? Is there some interactive stuff out there? More streaming web cams?
I'd appreciate any help you can give!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I decided to go theaterical. I dressed up my monitor like a stage and photoshopped several of my friends into the roles of the Village People. Since it was MY computer, I decided I could be anyone I wanted -- and I chose the leatherclad biker. My fantasy!
Gee...that would be a great party question: "Which member of the Village People would you be?"

The library Fun Committee strikes again -- and I need suggestions. We are supposed to "dress up our computors" on Friday. Winner gets chocolate. does anyone have any clever ideas. I'm coming up empty.

Did anyone else dress up for Halloween? It's a requirement at our library to wear a costume and yet 3/4th of the staff always "forget" -- which makes the 7 or 8 of us decked out in full regalia just look stupid. It's hard enough to appear intelligent and helpful while wearing a hairy fake wart on the end of your nose. It's even worse when you have to stand beside an apparently normal co-worker. *giving the evil eye to my well-dressed co-workers*
Frankly, I didn't want to dress up either but I'm on the Fun Committee and felt obligated. Yes...we have an official "Fun Committee". How bizarre is that? Oddly enough, the members are the most sarcastic, naughty, slightly evil women in the library. We talk about all the hysterically fun things we could do and laugh until we cry. But...alas...in a moment of sanity the image of our director's shocked face comes to mind and we end up planning sensible activities that would not offend even the most delicate sensibilities. Of course, they aren't much "fun" either. Like dressing up for Halloween.
Anyway, this morning I cuffed my jeans, put on hubby's big shirt and wore bobby socks, bright red lipstick and black loafers. I'm the world's oldest bobby socker. At least I'm comfy. I was going to share a picture but honestly...I look big as a barn in this gidup. I worked so hard to get my red lipstick on straight, but my lips have gotten so thin in my old age that in the photo my mouth looks like an angry slash across my face. Oh yeah, I'm having "fun" today.
Does anyone have candy?

My poor little Live Journal must be feeling neglected. A few of my friends lured me over to Facebook and I felt like I should give it a wholehearted effort.
Well...what do I think?
Eh. *shoulder shrug* It's okay. It's incredibly easy to link videos, photos, games, etc. to share with your friends. It's not as farty as Twitter. My favorite part is reading my eldest son's posts so I can keep up with his life without peering at his house through high-power binoculars. I've also wiled away some dull hours discovering Which Rock & Roll Bitch I Am (Debby Harry), What My Old Lady Name Is (Adelaide), and Which Fictional Book Character I Resemble (Atticus Finch). It's also a nice way to find people from your past and catch up a bit.
Yes, I'll probably keep it up. But it doesn't satisfy any real "need" on my part. It's just the same superficial discourse that surrounds me everywhere.

It occurs to me that artistic/creative people
tend to be rather self destructive
when left on their own for long periods of time.
