I'm telling Arky to look harder...


;)

actually, i think left right has nothing to do with it...i think it all has to do with when you first look at her...if her leg is to the left then she appears to go counterclockwise...if her leg is to the right then she appears to go clockwise...if i get the timing of her spin down and then close my eyes and open them when i know her leg is on the other side, she reverses.

25049. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 6:16:34 PM

I think it has something to do with hemispheres... 98% of the time she's going clockwise at first glance.

You're right about perception. If I consciously say to my self "forward-backward" for whichever way I want her to spin, I'll start to see her spin that way. I can do it completely on the fly now.

Brains are cool.

She sways from one side to the other for me--never showing her backside--weird lady or weird me?

25051. arkymalarky - 2/2/2009 7:45:26 PM

I was trying to be funny. She moves counter on the blackberry, but on dialup she never got going. I could have looked longer, but I was afraid I'd miss a phone call.

I keep trying to relax my vision to have her move counter-clockwise, but then her near perfect breasts come around into silouhette again I lose my lack of focus.

25053. thoughtful - 2/3/2009 3:45:04 PM

so use your hands to cover the top part of the screen. sheesh. men!

25054. iiibbb - 2/3/2009 4:10:13 PM

No thoughtful, like this.

"Her breasts get bigger when you spin her CCW."

25055. magoseph - 2/3/2009 5:36:37 PM

You mean that she's carrying a concealed weapon--really?

25056. alistairconnor - 2/4/2009 10:40:42 AM

Well, if she would spin faster, the centrifugal force might do interesting things.

After a one month hiatus, this place is kicking us in the teeth again. Someone broke into my car last night outside the house and took a few things (I have already reprogrammed the garage door opener).

Sigh.

I just want out of here.

One day, iiibbb, when you are settled in more salubrious environs, please reveal where you have been the past year or so. I'm really curious. And good luck.

25060. anomie - 2/10/2009 2:24:09 AM

Thanks, Mago. I needed that!

25061. iiibbb - 2/12/2009 12:46:24 AM

Well.... I just told my boss.

25062. magoseph - 2/12/2009 12:57:00 AM

What did he say?

25063. iiibbb - 2/12/2009 2:54:03 AM

He was disappointed but understanding. I mostly faulted my wife's employment situation... didn't give a whole lot of detail about why I'm not happy with my job.

I am going to try to leverage some sort of temporary transfer.

We've decided that I'm not going to try to stay in town until our house sells. Her parents have enough money to loan us the mortgage, and we're pretty sure the house is going to sell. I'm pretty cautious, but would never presume to ask her folks for money like that. Now we have a safety net.

We had an open house this past weekend. One guy spent an hour and has been emailing our realtor a lot. He may not make an offer for a few weeks because he's in the midst of a divorce... but he might at least be an ace in the hole. We had a realtor's open house yesterday, and no one indicated the asking price was too high... so I figure we're in a good position there.

Pretty crazy right now.

25064. magoseph - 2/12/2009 4:49:54 PM

Crazy times, but a lot more hopeful now, I see. Thanks for the follow-up, iiibbb!

25065. judithathome - 2/12/2009 8:29:27 PM

Well, wish us luck tomorrow night..we're going to a grand opening of a friend's new cafe...we know the building but not exactly sure where the cafe is located in that building. Then, we're leaving that event and going to a restaurant for another friend's birthday...and know the general vacinity but not exactly where in the area the restaurant is located. THEN, we're going back to the first place after the birthday party.

All of this on Friday the 13th!

25066. magoseph - 2/12/2009 11:10:26 PM

I wish you luck, Judith--I'm so glad you have a busy social life--that's the only way I'm having one these days--talking to you.
