recently i've learned that NSFW = not safe for work, meaning it's got boobies, pee-pees, or "obscene content," and i think it's funny that it's classified as "not safe for work" instead of "not safe for children" or "do not proceed if easily offended" or "BEWARE: nekkidness" or something more puritanical than just don't look when the boss is around. but i digress, if only a little.
SOOO...today is the day i'm supposed to announce the "winner" of the wallpaper contest. contrary to ben's belief, goatse it is not. i'd like to thank all of you who participated in the vote, although it did not have the desired effect of making my choice for me. since it resulted in a 4-way tie, it was left to me to pick the next wallpaper. i thought it was going to be the lion, it looks fierce and i liked the red background, but when i tried it out, it kind of looked cheesy in it's full glory - i think because i saved the wrong size and it was so stretched out it just sucked. next i went with the sea turtle, which i still think is a beautiful picture, but it depressed me because of the impending clouds and didn't really give me the hopeful spark i was going for. ok penguins, dive in. the big blueness and the water on my screen was gorgeous, but yet again not quite right. it was too cool, temperature-wise, and i needed something more warm to get me through the depths of virginia winter. alas, i put up the goodall-gorilla photo. but don't get too excited ben. it reminded me just a little too much of the ET finger-to-finger moment and rather than making me smile it kind of gave me the creeps.
and so here i am, back at square one, still with conor on the screen delightfully angsty. i'll give the picture searching another go another time, perhaps i wasn't in the right mood for it today.
in other news, i saw colin farrell's penis today* and i'm quite frightened. someone said it wasn't him because he is circumsized, but then someone else said that the foreskin goes away when the penis is erect, so now i just don't know what to think. the whole circumscision thing is fascinating and elusive to me (both the operation and spelling) and if anyone has any insights they'd like to share, please comment below.
also, people in my "criminal regulation of sexuality" class think that prostitution and pornography are essentially the same - both involve people getting paid for sex - and one cannot be legal without the other also being legal, or illegal and illegal. while i am leaning toward thinking prostitution should be decriminalized, i still sort of feel like they are two different beasts but can't quite put my finger on it. again, if you have any insights, please share so that i can steal them and put them out as my own in class. thanks. : )

*I was going to link to the photos, but it appears the website on which I viewed them has been sued and took them down. I guess a lot can happen in a view hours. Sorry guys, I guess you'll have to Google to get them. I now sort of feel dirty and think I shouldn't visit the website anymore.

FEW, not view hours. too lazy to go back and edit the damn post again. it's been a long day.
Foreskins; don't usually just disapear...
Prostitution/Porn, surely the latter has a union?
All I can say is that I wrote a media law paper on the regulations placed on pornography that won me a grad school fellowship. So for me, porn paid the bills.
thanks, ben. perhaps it wasn't colin's farrell after all; it did look pretty fake.
ashley - i had no idea you were so risque! do your parents know?!
