You know, This has been irritating me for a while now. It's not very important, and is quite frivolous but I want to make a point of how wasteful design can be. Most of us have liquid soap in a pump on our counter these days. Take note on how much soap is at the bottom of these containers, and then take note of the curvature on the bottom of the soap bottle. It's raised just enough to the center, and all the soap cannot be reached by the pump in the center because it's settled to the sides of the bottle. This is so wasteful, not to mention bad design. I'd like to know why this was designed this way, and who thought it was a good idea. I'm glad I saved some of the old bottles, they are not designed like this.

This is brilliant...the bit about the user notes.

Sears Tower name change: Building today officially becomes Willis Tower -- chicagotribune.com

I'm still going to call it the Sears Tower...not matter what the corporates do to it.

Yeah, I finally broke down and signed up for Facebook, thanks to the invite from timikun.

Why do I need a facebook account? I'm not sure. I'm not ever sure if I'll use it like I do LiveJournal. I'm not sure that I'm important enough or enough people care about my life or me to justify an account. But, I guess it never hurts to try something like this...I can just delete my account if it's counterproductive. I mean, people didn't care or read what I posted to LJ, so why care about my Facebook?

I don't particularly like the idea of having multiple places on the Internet about me, to update, or to network with the same people that are on LJ. It's amazing with all these technologies we still cannot seem to connect, personally.

I digress...

Now it strange, when I signed up, it gave me the name of a person whom I don't know and said that I may know this person, which I don't...I did find several people that I do know however, and I friended them, I just hope thats proper to do and it's not intrusive. I'm rather ignorant on Facebook etiquette.

My lord, I have no decent picture of my not in costume in the past five years.

It took me a while to figure it out...but here:

Well folks, I just finished watching Gravitation(after owning it for a few years). Good story, fun characters. Perfect introduction to Shounen-ai type anime.

Now I have to start watching Hetalia - Axis Powers because I have heard it's such crack.

New estimate on cemetery bodies: 200 to 300 - Chicago Breaking News

This is just beyond horrible. The people whom did this ought to jail forever. I cannot imagine the nightmare for the families of those whom were laid to rest here who's resting place has been destroyed by these evil greedy people. This is just beyond atrocious, barbaric, abominable, detestable, and any other word I can think of...
