Friends, Romans, Sinisters: Ahhhh, today was the first really beautiful day of the year, and we had a picnic by the magnolia tree in my parents front yard. It was quite picturesque--the daffodils starting to bloom, the first blades of green grass pushing through the withered corpses of their ancestors. The Happy Reaper wrote: "Jennifer Grey said that she uses the light-switch ruse to stop people seeing her body. I have been with two girls who did that... and, through some ruse or other (can't remember what) I managed to get them to turn the light on. Both had very attractive bodies...a little round perhaps, but a little round is nice... much better than too thin." I don't really use that ruse anymore now that I'm married, but I used to always try it. And darn it, the boys *always* have a counter-ruse to get the lights back on! I dislike my own roundness, but I agree that it is better than too thin. Someone once told me that 5 lbs overweight looks better than 5 lbs underweight, and it becomes more true the larger the number. In regard to the MP3 thing, I still think that it is the bands perogative to control their songs. Someone...the Pickle Prince?...said that they thought music should be free. Well, yes, in a Utopia where food, lodging, etc. are also free. But...if music were free, then being a musician would not be a viable career choice. And as long as there are bills to be paid, why shouldn't someone make a living from doing what they love (if they can)? I mean, if professional musicians all had to have day jobs, then their musical output would be pretty scant. Just my opinion.
