Since you asked

with her killer graces
and her secret places
that no boy can fill
with her hands on her hips
oh, and that smile on her lips
because she knows that it kills me
with her soft french cream
standing in that doorway
like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
but french cream won't soften
them boots and french kisses
will not break that heart of stone
with her long hair falling
and her eyes that shine
like the midnight sun
she's the one
that thunder in your heart at night
when you're kneeling in the dark
it says
you're never gonna leave her
but there's this angel in her eyes
that tells such desperate lies
and all you wanna do is believe her
and tonight you'll try
just one more time
to leave it all behind
and to break on through
oh, she can take you
but if she wants to break you
she's gonna find out
that ain't so easy to do
and no matter where
you sleep tonight
or how far you run
she's the one
with just one kiss
she'll fill these long summer nights
with her tenderness
that secret pact you made
back when her love could save you
from the bitterness
she's the one

A few amusing pictures

Posted March 3, 2006 • Comments Off

They’ve introduced a new model of the camera Jeff and I both have, the Casio Exilim EX-Z750. We love this camera. One of the things it does (occasionally useful) is set up pictures with “best shot” presets.

The new model (this is a photo of a website, so sue me) has a “best shot” specifically for selling crap on eBay. This is unbelievable.

Especially since the existing camera has a “best shot” mode called “Collection” that’s designed for photographing collectible objects up close. I wonder how this is different.

Last weekend, during the Olympics, Deborah and I were watching four-man bobsled. One of the announcers was talking about one team’s weight advantage over another, in terms of the maximum weight on a four-man sled, and he stammered a little and repeated the number. The live closed-captioner was quick, but not quick enough, and this is the hilarious result.

In other camera news, I just downloaded a wonderful set of Mac icons called “CHUMS.” I don’t know if these are photorealistic drawings or what, but they’re awesome. It’s one of the best icon sets I’ve ever seen, and I have about eighteen thousand icons right now. This set includes beautiful images of my Dell monitor, my exact Exilim camera, and of cousre the Bose noise-canceling headphones that will one day be mine.

I just replaced the file “import_camera.tiff” inside the iPhoto 5 package with the image from this beautiful icon, and now when I import photos, the generic camera it shows has been replaced by my actual camera. For some reason, this sort of thing always makes me happy.

Again, three things

My nose smells awful.

I just wrote “Be merciless.” on my to-do list.

When I write the word “Kleenex” it looks exactly like the Kleenex logo.

Francis Heaney cartoons

I’m really enjoying reading the blog (and especially the cartoons) of one Francis Heaney, who used to write puzzles for Games magazine, of which I was a huge fan and voracious consumer in its heyday.

Francis has wisdom to impart.
