The Small Things, and Hashtags
Apr. 20th, 2009 10:40 pmMother and Father spent the weekend in Rome, my brother is in Estonia so I've watched the dog. And as 'thank you', I got cosmetics. Yummm, Guerlain. Their kabuki brush, a bronzer (getting my feet wet with this, finally, I've yet to brave bronzers) and the new kohl. I love the decadence of luxury cosmetics, it's an indulgence. Every morning, applying a creme or a foundation, it's a petit indulgence. Goodness knows, I live and breathe for those small moments. A good wine, a dish that melts on the tongue or causes a moan as it explodes in taste.
The internet is taking an interesting turn. Amazon's classification system is simply known as #amazonfail, the 'tag' (technically hashtag) used on twitter. We call an event by the twitter tag we use for it. Google it, papers are using it as headlines. The internet dictating the media. Amazonfail amazes me. It was a very bad idea, but the mass of publicity it has received is incredible. It reflects the political correct policy of the internet. A subject I am far too tired to get into.
I almost included an -r after 'idea' earlier, a sign you've been delving too deeply into your phonetics book. (Linking and intrusive r.) Or that your spelling is truly stupendous.
