... in the American style - meaning that it's a massive 40" (that's 1 metre Euro fans)
Having said that the full HD mode is amazing and it fits rather well.
Another bonus blown... lol

Nude March Continues
here at FabulouslyThin and woefully predictably the number of viewers seems to be on the increase again. Yesterday was the best Friday I've had since the spectre of death floated most visibly above me - way back when.
The strange thing is that the viewers aren't coming in via search engines tagged with searches such as "Lindsay Lohan does coke off Britney's shine pate" but rather are old friends, coming back in search of emotional rawness and settling for physical vulnerability instead (or something)
It's also entire probable that the numbers bump is nothing mroe than a bump and that the yards of naked flesh no on display here have nothing to do with any increase in traffic. Let's face it statistically I'm more likely to pull in people with fetishes for typos than to pull in errant teabaggers in search of new helicoptering techniques.
All of that said I'm meeting my favorite people for brunch today, have an appointment with the gym and have the final touches to put to a presentation. Time to get this ass into gear.

Raining on my parade
Trying an upload directly from blogger today - mainly because the image wouldn't allow me to blog it and I lived the veins in the hands enough to steal it. My own hands are cut and bruised to tiny swollen pieces at the moment, primarily due to a fit of doggy excitement upon my picking up Velcro from the groomers. I look like a suicidal bar brawler. Which isn't a bad thing to look like in some of the Dive Bars near the office.It's pouring with rain outside but I'm keen to get to work as I have a proposal to get out of the door today and it's going to take some time. More archery tonight, Jude now has her own bow (very exciting) and I have, well I have a METRO card that will mean it's a free ride there.
Off with me then... more nudity tomorrow (site stats up 45% yesterday despite M's protestations) - who knows if I get wildly popular I may even post my acne scarred arse, that ought to dampen demand

Naked Truth (Provocation)
I chose this picture not because it's great but because of the note that it had attached to it
"This photo has the most views of all my photos. It jumped on the first place in one day! Why?!? Beacause I'm naked... What's the conclusion? Well, I'm starting to belive mr. Willheim Reich. He claims that the existence of capitalist society depends on suppression of the sexual instincts which is systematicaly puted upon from the institutions of capitalism, like religions, schools, corporations"
I think that the reason that it grabbed my attention was that we were talking about hyper sexualization yesterday - that thing that they did tpo Britney with the pigtails, rubber suits and boob jobs - leaving her nowhere to go, The worry was that sexuality is so aggressively commercial these days that it's actually become divorced from sexiness.
The porn stars that sell us their robotic couplings are scupltures of collagen and silicon, each knowing their niche and bleaching their assholes. They're relentless rather than sexy. Stripped of dialogue by gonzo and tease by the relentless skip to the money shot trigger finger of DVD users everywhere.
And where pornstars lead America follows. So our models, actresses, young women and our commercial materials all start to mirror this aggressively one dimensional model.
Meanwhille the resistance starts to spring up. Burlesque rears its head promising glamor, curves and a sense of tease, a sense of fun. Brands jump on the 'not us' bandwagon, championiung a different beauty ideal - still selling that firming gel but stopping short of the bum bleach (for now)
So perhaps this blog should go naked. A nude image every day. A pneumatic nude - pumped up and soulless. I'm sure the view count would rise. Or at least I think it would. Let's see.

Busy, busy
Got to bed late last night having decided that white walls, mini tripod and auto focus were too good to resist and found myself justt experimenting with what my camera can do (more than I'm technically capable of carrying off I think)
Today I have interviews on Indulgence, a call with an Israeli company on bring some of their products to the US, the start of a two day workshop on what our offer as a company is and of course I have to write a presentation for next week's 'away days'
"All go" as my dad would say. So gonna duck out here at three paragraphs.

Wheeeeee
and so the merry go around continues.
Today sees more celebrities checking into and out of rehab with alarming frquency (Britney three times in a week, Lindsay for Oscar parties, Gay anti-gay preachers 'cured')
It will doubtless witness Hillary racing Barrack to be the first to raise enough money to buy the next election (or failing that enough to just buy America and have doen with it) whilst growing in girth and stature Al Gore waits in the wings - Oscar polished, Nobel prize in the bag and plan to have Bono as running mate carefully considered
It will see another couple of centuries of time poured into watching bad mime on You-Tube (where on earth are the drag queens? they could rule a world of shoddy mime, camp theatrics and unconvining busoms)
It will see me heading in to work and sitting down with a bunch of very smart people only one of whom is dedicated to making the world better in any solid way (our Independant diplomat) but all of whom are trying to improve things one product, one package and one category at a time.
It will see me check the site statistics on this page at least twice and me suck in my (soon to be eviscerated) stomach at least twenty.
It will see the Girls of American Idol trying a little less hard after making it through last week. The fattest one full of hope having seen the success of Jennifer Hudson, the smallest wondering whether a deformed midget, female, Richard III look-a-like really could hog the spotlight in anything other than the circus.
And doubtless it will see somebody else drawn to my suddenly saleable mix of 'quirk', 'distain for business as usual', 'years on the job' and 'bizarro accent'... or at least I hope it will. There is after all nothing more flattering than flattery - and being chased (rather than chasing escape) is something that lifts the soul, just a little

It's snowing!
Or it least it snowed... last night. Only an inch of two but after the dirty frozen chunks of ice that littered the sidewalks a sheet of something that at least looks a little more clean and fresh is very welcome.
All manner of US only related things to be getting on with today. Mis-billed insurance claims, State income tax refunds, covering for some people out on "Charisma enhancement training" that kind of thing.
A short entry this morning as I'm dashing around like Nigel Havers on speed... more (interesting) tomorrow

Blur of a weekend
Well the weekend passed in a blur of inactivity... we rushed from place to place doing almost nothing. The pic sums it up really.
Tomorrow I have to call the hospital (they billed the wrong insurance company for my scans); call the dentist (it's been almost 3 weeks waiting for insurance approval) and call my client (she's been in Africa)... not a lot I know but busy enough for a Monday
