Ugly Hair Day

Ugly Hair Day

When you have an ugly hair day, conventional wisdom says to put your hair into a ponytail or wear a hair accessory. The other option is to wear an invisibility cloak.

Scientists at UC Berkeley have taken a major step toward making Harry Potter’s disguise of choice a reality. They’ve engineered two new materials — one using a fishnet of metal layers, the other using tiny silver wires — that neither absorb nor reflect light, causing it instead to bend backward.
Quotation from Time Magazine

I’m fine but you’re obviously having a bad hair day.
Quotation from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992 movie)

Another One of Life’s Shining Moments

I’m on my way out, she said,
like she was picking up keys
after finishing the grocery list
and buttoning her coat
before quietly closing
the door after her.
Poem for Aunt Lucille, recently diagnosed with incurable liver cancer.

Why is it in photographs?

Why is it in photographs?

People who think they don’t photograph well have nobody to blame other than themselves. There is an art to looking good in front of the camera. That is why models are told to practice their poses in front of a mirror. Practice makes perfect.

The queen was the most beautiful woman in all the land, and very proud of her beauty. She had a mirror, which she stood in front of every morning, and asked:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?
And the mirror always said:
You, my queen, are fairest of all.
And then she knew for certain that no one in the world was more beautiful than she.
Quotation from Wilhelm Grimm, Little Snow White

Mirror, Mirror Off The Wall

Mirror, Mirror Off The Wall

You may have eaten ergot-contaminated rye bread. Ergot is a grain fungus that produces LSD-like alkaloids which cause delirium when ingested. Ergot may have been a causing factor in the bizarre behavior that led to the tragic Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

“It’s Owner Occupied”

“It’s Owner Occupied”

Pooping is a shared human experience, so why do most people prefer “privacy” when they use the toilet? Public bathroom hint #1: Don’t use the toilet located directly in front of the mirrors, because people will be able to see you. Bathroom hint #2: Girls don’t fart.
P.S. Today’s my birthday. In honor of such, please feel free to sit on one cheek.
