My Campbell cash arrived in the mail today. That was a lot quicker than I expected.

These two AIDS awareness ads are simultaneously very beautiful and very creepy. [NSFW]

Have a Nautilus-shaped bathroom sink.

Speaking of sinks, I risked violating my tenancy agreement by replacing the near-antique faucets in our bathroom with a much newer one leftover from my parents' recent renovation. It took a lot of under-sink wrestling and some pulled muscles, but it works perfectly: no leaks. It's so much nicer. I never really did get the hang of using two separate knobs for hot and cold.

Angela, Martha and I have watched the first two movies of the Jason Bourne trilogy. I was always intrigued by the advertisements and trailers but never really followed up. It wasn't until later that I realized these books were movies based on novels by Robert Ludlum. They really are quite good. I mean, you might, like me, be one of those people who usually doesn't expect much from action-espionage movies (Casino Royale has helped change that opinion). And, as usual, Rotten Tomatoes speaks volumes about the films. There's even a fourth one planned for 2010. If you haven't seen them yet, I'd recommend them.

The ads bother me somewhat. Only because penises are everywhere but it's still not socially acceptable to show vaginas. And I don't believe I've every heard of someone catching AIDS from a breast. Aside from that, they are a neat pair.

Such an awesome sink!

I see them. There are lady behinds with female genitalia. I don't think the issue is social acceptability so much as artistic difficulty. I mean, technically the vagina is inside. Really you're just illustrating labia and clitori.
