I went rollerblading for just a bit today. When I stepped out of the house with blades in hand I... well, I'd say earperked, only it was more like noseperked or something. I smelled rain!

Now I discovered that rain doesn't all smell the same. Rain in Ireland, for example, smells like nothing, because the whole country already smells damp, and there's no lightning. But desert rain smells wonderful, all ozone and hot sand and dampness and *purrrrrrrrrrr* And the wind blowing, and the rain is almost warm... it was very nice, so I dind't mind that I got wet while rollerblading.

Also, among today's experiences, was the conclusion that sexyness does indeed sell stuff. Witness my furbid auction attempts. The non-sexy picture auction sold nothing, and there's a bidding war going on right now on my current sexy picture auction.

Memo to me: always try and look sexy when taking pictures for furbid stuff.

Just try not to get too carried away....

Those freaky guys on ebay... one who posed in a wedding dress, the other who was selling a muffler or pipe or something and decided to model next to it in a thong. I really wish that last one wasn't burned into memory... only because I was staring at the pipe for a few moments before I even REALIZED what he is wearing. *shudder*

...that's rather ingenious marketing, really... I mean, how many people do you think passed around the link going "OMGOMGOMG"?

It's all about Marketing.

Or as my dad calls them, the Jedi Mind Tricks.

He he he. Yes, I saw both of those. And do you know how much that dress went for? A /ton/ more than it otherwise would have. A lot more than it was worth, frankly. He he he.

I enjoyed the rain today and last night, the thunder and lightning was wonderful. I was of course out driving in some of it today and last night both, but still nice to have it around...
