Operation Beautiful


I thought this was a nice project to share:

Operation Beautiful

Women leave sticky notes on the mirrors of public restrooms to bolster confidence in each other.

There were also some other interesting topics on the site such as, "Why Fat Talk Rears It’s Ugly Head When You’re Stressed" & "What if I Stopped Comparing Myself to Others".

If you happen to have a sticky note or some other method of leaving a nice message for others in a public restroom it's probably the time to do so. We've all felt a little rough around the edges and it probably won't hurt to plant a good thought out there.

Dead Drops!


Dead Drops

Very cool social practice! People are cementing USB ports in to walls in America, the UK, and Australia for group file sharing. We may need one in Columbia! It looks like the closest is in Lawrence, Kansas. They are just so progressive for the midwest.

What is a dead drop exactly? According to wiki.

Take a looksiedo.

"NOWNESS" as interpreted by Jennifer Razor

So I got to the point in Devotional Cinema when the topic of time comes up. Nathaniel Dorsky says that there is "relative time" and "nowness". Something really hilarious came to mind, and I know it's probably way off base compared to what Dorsky is trying to say, BUT, maybe Ivan Reitman is the genius he speaks of. Dorsky defines nowness as "transcending the passage of time", also as "your presence while relative time slips under your feet".

What came to mind, God save me, is Ghostbusters 2. On World of the Psychic with Peter Venkman, he ends the show saying -

"Until then, this is Peter Venkman saying[puts a finger to his temple and sends out a thought to his viewers](laughs) See you then!"

EVERYTIME I see this, I have the exact same reaction, which is to laugh with Bill Murray as he does this. This is probably something that Dorsky would totally vom at, but I thought it was kind of hilarious that I had such a reaction.
