Magically delicious
In the past couple weeks, I've received about five notices from Flickr where someone I don't know has added me as a contact. Since the only thing to do in those situations is to check out that person's profile, photostream, and favorited pics, that is what I did. In each case, it was some skeevy guy with a bunch of breast and booty shots for contacts and who belonged to groups like "sexxxy making out hot." I quickly blocked all these contacts, but now I am wondering: where are they finding me? Do I have one poorly tagged photo that's leading crazies to me? Is it just random weirdos that are trying to amass as many contacts as possible? I really don't think I have anything in my photostream that would leave anyone to believe I'd be posting topless photos anytime soon. Maybe in addition to boobs, they also really like candy?
While in Target today, there was a young couple in the men's department looking over the pants selection. The guy was holding up a shirt to several pairs of pants, trying to decide what matched. Upon closer inspection, this was the shirt:
It's very important to have the correct pants with that shirt. Difficult to match.
Willow is visiting! So far, we have eaten a lot of good food and gone to see Hellboy. This is how lame I have become: after planning the movie night with several friends and J for about a week now, I managed to somehow watch the entire move and then fall asleep for the last five minutes. In case you haven't seen the movie yet, some shit goes down in the last five minutes of the movie. I know this because I had to have it all relayed back to me and it involved a prolonged question and answer period. That will teach me to try to sit in a dark, air-conditioned, stadium seated theater after 10 pm.
This morning we had brunch in a ridiculously delicious creole restaurant that serves chicory coffee and hot biscuits the size of your heat. The acoustics are pretty terrible, but it led to this exchange:
Heather's dad: It's too bad we can't time travel. Though I guess they found out electrons can time travel.
Willow: Yeah, leprechauns can do anything!
Everyone: ...
Heather's dad: Electrons.
I most appreciate how Willow was willing to jump right into a conversation about time-traveling leprechauns with no warning. That's why she's the best.
For the record, I've been on a hot cupcake streak since Wednesday. They've been popping up everywhere! It's looking good at least through Monday.
I had the same issue with flickr until I made all belly pictures for friends & family only.
You can and should flag inappropriate content in flickr. It's a link in the second to last line, above the language links, far right. I can't tell you for sure what it says because my flickr is in German, but still, you should do it so users like that don't get to keep making other nice pregnant ladies uncomfortable. Er, more uncomfortable -- I hear the pregnant thing isn't exactly a walk in the park.
Ah, you guys are smart. Okay, baby-related pics are now for friends and family only. That will make emailing links to actual family members who aren't on Flickr more difficult, but I guess thems the breaks.
I think that you can email full links to individual photos to anyone and they can see them. But they can't see other photos unless they have those permissions. Try it out with someone who's not a flickr friend and find out.
LOL!! Liz, I literally lost it laughing at my desk over the electrons...and ppl asked and I just can't explain. I wish I was there...thank god for bad acoustics at times. Its the long pause after the oddity of leprechauns that kills me. The who? LOL
Wait until after the baby arrives - I had one picture on Flickr where I mentioned in the caption that Cate was running around in just her diaper, and oh lord, the fetish/pervert hit count was astronomical. Eww eww eww.
Flickr has a total seedy porn/pedophile underground, beware. was the brunch at Luciles?
Yes! Lucile's is my new favorite brunch joint.
yeah, I had some weird perv favs on my WingBowl pix. At least it was of scantly clad stripper babes. I wont ban people for that unless they have no pix of their own.
I did have men fav pix of my sons, and not for Art reasons from the looks of their other favs. Super Sick.
am I on the friend list? will I get banned for faving all of your food pix???
Of course you're on the friends list. I don't have any problem with strangers/blog readers/flickr peeps perusing or favoriting pics, but if they are obviously pervs looking for pervy reasons, they're gonna get a ban. Although to be fair, I don't usually check up on people who favorite cupcake pics or something. ha
