Scientific Discussions Around the Real and Virtual
Yesterday evening, colleague John had to borrow some concealer before a videoshoot to cover a pimple.
Me: But do you know how to apply concealer?
John: No, tell me.
Me: You can’t smear it on. You have to apply a little and sort of…pat at the spot till it blends.
John: Ohhh. Like in Photoshop? Don’t click and drag—click, click, click, click around it? Got it. [thumbs up]

I love the LOL hierarchy!! I agree wholeheartedly with the order.
I agree too. Except that it is missing “…heehee > heh” at the end.
heh.
Lol, the two nerds who read my blog actually went through that exchange. Hands up all the other people who gave up. Angel?
I read the whole thing, with the warm feeling of hip smugness enveloping my aura.
Then I thought…what the heck does all that mean?!
s
there are only two of us?
Hi understand John’s reaction. Often in real life I think of doing the apple (or ctrl)-Z combo to cancel something i just did =)
Thanks goodness I read this at home - couldn’t suppress a burst of laughter. Sometimes reading your blog is a great way to unwind after work.
Lol, thank you Adeline :)
