Mental Hygiene.
Although my right gluteus maximus is strained / pulled / painful - you read that correctly: I literally have a 'pain in the ass' - my mental hygiene seems to be just fine. On opening the mental floss cabinet, the resulting waft of air - though accompanied by a somewhat dank, musty smell [disuse?], shows no sign of rot, depravity, or self-loathing. The sane-o-meter shows green, as does the luciditometer, and the humorometer. Although I don't like to look at the humorometer... it can get old so quickly... probably needs more steam, or a new LED light to replace the burned out incandescent blinky light.
I'm thoroughly convinced that blackberries, iPhones, and iPods should be outlawed in bars and restaurants. Last night, the female/male ratio was great, but they were all clicking, and looking down at those tiny screens. I'm sure the next 'new old thing' will be an eyesight syndrome based on 'blackberry vision'. Oooooo... how about a line of those drug-store reading glasses repackaged specifically for PDA users. I'm sure SOMEONE has thought of this before. We could donate the proceeds to a fund to provide glasses to children (and adults) without access to descent opthamalogical care - starting right here in the USA. It was appalling to me to see the throngs of people who turned out this summer for free dental & medical care from RAM (Remote Area Medical Foundation) at their MASH-like 'field hospital' setup in the Los Angeles Staples Center. You want another sign that our health care system needs drastic reform? That was one of the best examples I've seen.
