Have I blogged endlessly and complained about this? Because it's all I seem to talk about in conversation and I seem to repeat myself. Places like pizza places, cafes, and all sorts of restaurants have been robbed and not only robbed but "hostile takeovers" where they rob all the patrons in the establishment. Scary shit.

♠ enlightening line of the day
"It's crap! It's so crap it's not even funny."
-Unnameable person on unnameable work.
On a side note, check out Gottfried Helnwein's "Disasters of War 5" at Collectors Contemporary (11 Sept to 25 Oct). They're the most gorgeous, disturbing pictures I have ever seen. Bloody children, giant rabbits, anime figurines. The Germans sure know a thing or too about distortion.

♠ "Her eyebrows are thicker than the hair on my head."
"Maybe she makes him happy."
I laughed. Almost instantly, and without immediately knowing why I reacted like that. Isabel and I were discussing why this hot guy we knew still clung to his allegedly ugly-as-dung girlfriend. Apparently the possibility that she makes him happy seemed preposterous to me at the time. Under the more ordinary circumstance of beauty and the beastess, that would have been an acceptable excuse. Not everyone is superficial. But said hottie cheats on the girlfriend. A lot. So hi, wake up and smell the alimony. (They're not married but hey.)
It made me think of why I strayed for that brief moment when I was with Jonny. It wasn't superficial, because while my distraction wasn't the elephant man, he wasn't worth phoning home about. It was those damned butteflies. I had -briefly- found someone who was on the same wavelength as I was. I was actually excited at the thought of being able to see him again (which wasn't often). Yes, emotional cheating. One can argue between the gravity of the types of cheating until the cows come home, give birth to more calves who go away and come home again, and most people will still say cheating of any sort is wrong.
Cos with guys, it just tends to be "physical". Yeah. Two years ago I would have slapped anyone who said that. I guess naivete sheds with experience. We are just that flippant about relationships.
I don't really care now, seeing as I've found it quite comfortable to believe that anyone who can charm me now lives further away in a galaxy longer ago than the Skywalkers. Chivalry? Dying. Good ol' fashioned trust and respect? About as common as sober teenage celebs.
So I've always wondered what the point of cheating was. If you're not happy, break up and go sow your wild oats. I'd think it's too tiring to maintain an ignorant beau while making sure your fling doesn't fall in love with you and end up devising ways of blending your current squeeze's spleen into your morning cereal. In my experience (not that it was ever an extensive one, since I'm not really the cheating type), was the fear of letting two years of relationship go to waste. Companionship is a dangerous thing to get used to. So I enjoy the closeness. Nevermind if the sexual attraction or respect is gone. As long as he was there for me, the world is not as scary.
It was a cowardly way of thinking and I can only hope that I don't go back to that the next time I'm in a withering relationship.
So I say no. I don't believe she makes him happy. There's clearly something she doesn't have (aside from a face that won't make Medusa cringe) if he's straying. And even if that was the only reason he's cheating, then I still say dump the dumb gorgon. Life's too short to try and accommodate. If you're not getting everything you ever wanted from the one person who's supposed to be the love of your life, you're wasting your time.
