Mirrors

Ever get the feeling that life is moving much faster than you can document it? I do a lot these days.

Also, I may have been slightly dyslexic all this time and nobody pointed it out. Then again, I am a bit of a hypochondriac who is untrained in psychology.

Mirrors are an interesting example of how light and chemicals can affect one's self image. Being just pieces of glass coated with a layer of metal, they help us form the mental image of what we look like on the outside. Funny enough, not all mirrors make you "see" yourself in the same way. Some (and I like these), like the ones found in fitting rooms of fashion-related stores, soften up detail and others give more detail than you might like to see in you.

They say we can't judge books by their covers. Well, we can't judge them by reading just two of their pages either. People are complicated like that.

This clip is too cute not to share. Roundedness can be endearing sometimes.
