When I get my new(ish) car, one of the first things I'm going to ask is how I can disconnect it from the Internet.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am totally blase about the creep factor of the Internet of Things. I wonder why. Just out of fucks, maybe.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I have now experienced the "I was just talking about that thing yesterday and it showed up on my FB feed without my ever typing it on a computer" thing, and I didn't love it. I comfort myself that anyone listening to my calls or reading my emails would be bored to death, but the Big Brother of it all does still irk.

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, that vampire-mirror thing is even more invasive than the regular alexa or whatever. A mirror and good lighting would be much better. And so much less creepy.

I have been to the mall to acquire pomade and a Mother's Day gift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But Mother's Day is still weeks away, right?
It's also my parents' 50th anniversary next month, which is awkward.

Yes, it's May 14th. Nobody panic. We're celebrating it early while I'm in Michigan visiting family.

Phew, thank you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for that list, Epic! We are planning a trip to Blue Lagoon, and the place we're staying is less than a mile from Laugavedur road. I'm interested in all these things!
Dana, back ~ma and schedule~ma! Glad you know what the problem is now.
The magic mirror is too expensive and for me would be too complicated.
I'm just scared that pretty soon, Amazon would be like, "That doesn't fit. You need a scarf. You're wearing that?"
Ha, yeah! All it needs is my (very fashion-conscious) aunt's voice.
I feel like people should be more creeped out by the Internet of Things, but I am clearly in the minority on that at my job.
Me too. Too easily hacked, and you don't know who's getting your info or even for sure what they're getting.

OTOH, this is also me. I'm past the point in my life where I might be committing crimes or hiding from the Feds. Like, there's nothing that interesting about me! Basically, it concerns me because of invasion of privacy and potential human rights violations, but it doesn't concern me much *personally*.

I don't even look at good porn anymore, unless you count Plei's regular reblogging of Chris Evans' photoshoot for Flaunt magazine. (And I do.)
