To Steal or Not to Steal, That Is the Question

It used to be we couldn't pass a mirror without sneaking a glance at ourselves. Admit it, now it's hard to avoid a peek at the security system monitors you see all over the place. And this has had a really bad influence on our self-image, because if the ubiquitous "fat mirrors" threw us into a funk, these monitors can wreak havoc with our sense of self. In the supermarket I go to they have one by the fruit and vegetable department. Notice they don't put it by the cakes and pies.

It's long been known that in L.A. every waiter, bartender, valet parking jock, and telephone sales "specialist" is a wannabe actor, but I've had lawyers, cops, physicians, airline pilots, journalists, and Lord knows what else take my classes. The only thing I haven't had are undocumented aliens. Makes sense, they have no time to learn acting, they're too busy doing all the work.

I discovered yesterday while doing a Google search , I had spelled Chesley Bonestell incorrectly. Still, his name came up immediately. Good old Google, they have such a nice way of telling us we've been a doofus, and they don't even hold it against us. They gently suggest that "perhaps you meant to type....." Anyway, check him out, his paintings are awesome.
