!eseehC
I have appeared in two photographs in the past week, and I am not happy. The reason why is that I don’t know how to smile when someone says, “Smile!” The other reason why is that the camera picks your pockets and steals your soul, and I ask you, who needs that sort of thing?
I figured I needed to rectify at least one of those situations, so I practiced smiling in front of my webcam. But that didn’t work, so I took a picture of my usual scowl and addressed the issue in Photoshop. If Photoshop can make my bed and vacuum my floors, it can certainly manufacture a little mirth. I wish it could also negotiate with the camera to retrieve my soul, but if wishes were horses, then horses would not have gone extinct back in 2033.

So that's what you look like. You're as cute as Christmas.

O Photoshop, is there anything you cannot do?
Tell me, where is the Smile command? Filter-->Distort? Ctrl+Alt+C for "Cheese"?
When I try to smile for a photo, I feel like I either squinch my eyes up way too much in forced mirth (AAAHAHAHAHAHAISN'TTHISJOLLY) or my eyes don't carry any of the smile, leaving my mouth alone in Stepford-Wifeish robotic splendor (I simply MUST get that recipe.)

Curtis: Christmas is sort of ugly, when you get right down to it, but thanks.
Rindy: If you get that recipe, could you share it with my husband? It's Filter --> Distort --> Unrealistic Mirth. If you send me a photo, I can distort it for you, too. I can add crinkles to the eyes of the Stepford Wife or superimpose big muppet eyes on the jolly squinter.
Cate: I know you meant to add, "After David's," so I forgive you in advance.
TigerYogi: Thank you. You also seem to have the crisp, clear eyesight of a young person who eats a lot of carrots.
Jess: Thank you. I was thinking of you when it was taken.
Karen: Thank you. I was thinking of you when it was taken.
Coffeedog: Thank you. I was thinking of you when it was taken.

that's a particularly adorable rendition of you. (I can't imagine a bad picture of you could *ever* be taken...)
