have you ever let something bad happen because it was facinating to watch?
once when i was a stoned teenager we watched my dog snort up a hot pink feather.
it happened by little increments with Flip's breath - just the way feathers usually only behave in cartoons. we were actually really happy when the hot pink fluff finally disappeared up his wet black nose. poor dog.

what about you?

2. Does it speak particularly ill of me
that I find myself doing that even now with coworkers who have proved themselves particularly obstinate, selfishly ambitious, and impervious to outside advice in the past, so much so that now I just sit back and watch their trains wreck?

I suppose fascination is not the only motivation there, though. I'll work harder on your question. Don't remember any hot pink feathers, but maybe if I squint.

6. not at all. hey, they're impervious. so you had no other choice, right?
you just went with it.
but that';s more on the level of chagrin than enthrallment. but i'm sure you'll come up with a another story.

3. Yes . . . everytime I see your sig line, my eyes drift downward
to view that photo because it is repulsive and fascinating . . . it draws me in every time, although I try to stop myself . . .

that's not exactly what you mean, is it?

;)
