Heads Or Tails

I hate going to the doctors - i was there the other day, and, like every other time, we had to wait almost an hour. I don't understand why they schedule appointments when there's no way that the patient will actually get in at that time!! I like people to be punctual.

I was thinking of a few of the contiki boys. One of them was a builder, so he called himself a lumber technician. Another was in electricity, so he said he was a electrical doctor. Highly amusing. This thought process led me to think about plumbing. You know the s-bend pipe under the sink? I was wondering whether the pipe was bent so that, should you drop something down the sink, it wouldn't get lost. Or maybe there's some technical reason for it... who knows. Maybe a pipe doctor could tell me.

One more thing; i was looking at a ninemsn photo story, about the way that editors doctor photos of the famous women on our screens. It showed before and after shots of the stars - and the difference was startling! I felt a little better, realising that those people who i consider to be so unattainably gorgeous, are actually more human than i thought. It did make me mad though, seeing the reality of the un-doctored pictures. The people that make them are purposely trying to create an illusion of perfection that can't be reached. They're setting people up to fail and making people think that they'll never be good enough. It should be illegal. Maybe then people would appreciate the beauty that they had, the beauty that was real.
