Who is that sourpuss on TV?

Insane Journal is okay, if a little less sophisticated than here. I do miss using semagic over there.

I was in Fry's Electronics yesterday. I was passing by the video camera department while looking for one of those auto navigation helpers, which I didn't actually intend to buy. A video camera with monitor was on display at the end of the aisle. It was slowly panning back and forth. So I stopped and watched it pan back on me. Yipes. I was tired yesterday, but I looked like a very angry old man. Good for keeping salesmen at bay! But I'm not happy I look that mean when I'm just feeling normal and a bit drowsy.

Now, why would you come across looking angry and mean? Especially when that was not what you were feeling?

I suppose your luxuriant moustache might have something to do with it...and don't get me wrong, I think it's absolutely gorgeous, in the photographs that I've seen of you, but it does hide the expression on the lower half of your face unless you are smiling broadly. And why on earth would you be wandering around a store, smiling broadly? Especially at this time of year.

And if you were lost in thought, that might cause a furrowed brow which, when combined with a lack of cues from the lower face, could be construed as mean and nasty.

I suggest Botox injections. And leaving your 'tache just as it is.

(And thanks for the hug earlier; I needed it today.)

I think it's... cough, cough... jowl lines, rather than the mustache. I don't looky jowly yet, but the lines seem to give me a real scowl in the wrong light. Trimming the tips of my mustache more vigorously, though, might help break up the 'menacing' look.

Smiling also works and it's cheaper than Botox.
