Tidbits

Nothing astounding, angry or urgent to post today. Just browsing other blogs and enjoying a day without too much travesty.
Good 'neighbor' Miss M noticed something unusual in a Revlon commercial. The actresses eyes are different colors. Check this out. Isn't she just pretty with those two different colors (it's called Heterochromia iridium)? My late lamented dalmation doggie friend Lucky had eyes of two different colors. One was blue, and the other was brown. Not sure if it's quite the same thing, though.
For more info about how eyes can be different colors, read this article from Scientific American.
I have noticed that my eyes change hue and lightness, depending upon my mood. My high school sweetheart, I believe, mentioned it first. Apparently there is no scientific explanation, and experts usually state that it has something to do with the ambient lighting or the predominant color of the local environment. But I have stared at myself in the mirror and watched them change from dark to light, so I know it's happening independent of my surroundings. Perhaps the change in fleshtone has something to do with it, like when one gets angry or hot and bothered? Nevertheless, I'm a freak of nature. One way or another.
Looks like another good 'neighbor' lŭḱē is an Art Teacher now. How cool is that? I want to be an art teacher! Man.
Lastly, I'm not going to allude to the fact that this seems rather gay, especially given 'our' President's stance on homosexuality. But it does look like he'll do just about anything for oil. I can only imagine what that Middle Eastern food must smell like on the Crown Prince's breath. Maybe a little saffron tossed in for good measure...
Perhaps it's just the Kissing Booth at a Saudi School carnival?

Gimme some sugar, Baby. And watch that tongue!
Heh. The funny thing is, I read somewhere today that if all cars' gas mileage was improved by 6.5 mpg, we would completely eliminate our dependence on Saudi oil. But I guess the huggin' and kissin' was a lot more fun!

My eyes are both the same color, but never the same color twice. They change color all the time ranging from very green to greenish hazel, to very grey, to a green grey, to a steel blue - it's the damndest thing. In fact, when asked, I always say my eyes are chameleon for that very reason.
