Gorgeous. Is it portraying a woman as an object? Somewhat, her clothes are obviously designed for displaying her figure and drawing the eye to her exposed midrif. But also, she is, well, sad or tired. I can't really tell. But I do know I want to find out and try to help somehow. Either get her a coffee, tell a joke or something. While that may reinforce a negative stereotype of women as weak and needing the help of men, I don't care. I feel rather confident that this girl will bounce back, and when I'm down, she'll pull me up.

And yes, I think the same kind of things about REAL girls too. But, when I see a drawing that good and it makes me do nothing but stare, well, I felt I should stare. Because hey, everybody loves pretty pictures.

Talked to my sister Kayte last night. She's also O positive. She's feeling a lot like me right now, surpise, surprise. I still think I've got the inside track on winning the "Kidney Donation Drive" for my uncle, but I've got some competition. There has got to be some kind of way I can get an unfair advantage in this race.

New CDs:
Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk. Yes, its been out for a while. Its still exceptional. A refreshing blend of R&B, funk and reggae at the moment. Odd, Reggae? Okay, it works. Will-I-Am is a dude I like a whole lot and I was not aware he was in this band until after I bought it. So hey, bonus for me.
The Darkness - new English band. I haven't listened to the CD yet, nor do I know what its called. I suggest talking to just about anyone to get a read on this album. Most people call it awesome. They're the summer's new band.
John Mayer - Heavier Things. Hey, I likie the slow stuff. Its got guitars, and some softish vocals and I can chill out listening to it. This guy is also all over the radio right now. No longer do I have to hunt for his single, for now I own it.

And now, a day of video games and carbonated beverages that I will not be enjoying intraveneously. Only the video games get mainlined. The pop gets snorted. But, its not like I can help it when I'm attempting to breathe and my can of pop decideds that NOW is a good time to discharge all the carbonation at once.

Fucking pop. Oh how I loathe you.
