interesting but terribly overrated.

so i just ate supper. it was good. last week i was on this awful diet and was pretty hungry the whole time. it was the "i can't cook and i've run out of peanut butter and rice" diet. i don't recommend it.
today, jen showed me this blog by this lady whose full time job IS her blog. she just sits there and bloggity-blogs her life away, and is paid enough by doing so to support her family. this makes me kind of feel like i live in a cardboard box, and was quite content to be here until i noticed little miss www.dooce.com in her fancy cyber-mansion over there. she even has a STORE with teeshirts with her blog name on them.
maybe i'll make teeshirts that say "itwalkedonmypillow". and everyone will say, "you didn't think of that on your own", and i'll collapse inside my cardboard box and die, and it will be all jen's fault. [but really, i don't think badly of you, jen]

let's talk art

the future freaks me out. i found this:
http://www.dna11.com/
wierd, eh? you can send your dna to this company and they'll make it into artwork for you to hang on your wall. my opinion? heck no. sounds like a bad horror movie to me. people sending in their dna to this obscure company nobody knows anything about. years later they're visiting relatives in another province only to run into...themselves. clones. thousands of them. and they're all in love with the same guy. some guy who was smart enough not to mail off his personal identity to dna11.com. one guy. thousands of the same girl. that would make for an interesting season of the bachlorette.
besides, what if you spend all that money, get your dna art back, and you don't like yourself? what if your dna is ugly? what if an ugly person has nicer dna than you? what would you tell people? "oh, uh, this is our pit bull's dna. what ugly dna he has."
