RHCP Lyric of the Day: Choose not the life of hesitation
Favourite Song of the Moment: L'via L'viaquez by the Mars Volta
Ok well I know this is a conversation I've had with some people before, but to be honest I'm still completely baffled by belly button lint. Why do some people get it (constantly!) and some not at all. I had theories about the hairiness of people's bellys... but that theory was toppled, I always thought it was a guy thing... but no I've now spoken to girls who get it! Maybe it's to do with belly button shape, maybe it's genetic - I don't know... there seems to be no rational explanation! Personally I don't get it at all... not a trace... and I can't help but feel I'm missing out on a fundamental human experience.
Anyway dinner last night was really nice. Annies was a lovely place to go, I'd never been there before but the atmosphere and meal were both really good. And because I'm still pretty new to this team at work it's really great to get to talk to them about things other than work and find out a little more about them... especially as we don't get to talk that much at work.
Tonight I'm going out for dinner again! (Woo hoo!) With the family and Darren as a late graduation celebration. I think we're going to Tiffany's so I'll let you know what that was like.
Ok and the new pope has been elected. Andrew and I were discussing it this morning and we think it's kinda silly that he's already 78! Given that he'll probably retire in two years we figure this gives Andrew two years to get in the running for the next pope election. So I'd like everyone to support our call for Andrew as pope... he's going to be great! He's hoping to modernise the Catholic Church by becoming the first non-catholic pope.

Hmmm yeah I remember that link you sent me. But I've still managed to find people who contradict those criteria. And if it's the hair that produces the lint (rubbing against clothes) then do people with really hairy backs produce more lint? I suppose there's no button on your back to capture it in tho.
chad gets belly button lint and it's gross. i won't go into the studio unless he has cleaned it out
John F
I don't think belly button lint is gross... but I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions John F. I hope Chad doesn't get too offended that you make him clean it out. Personally I would have suspected the Flea gets lint as well he has a nice manly chest.
Well I have an anonymous friend who gets red belly button lint from a specific item of red clothing. Perhaps a large component of the lint is actually like dead skin cells or something, I guess then it would make sense that it was grey.
Oh don't be so cynical! ;-)
what is belly button lint
"Kruszelnicki suspects that belly button lint is the fibers of clothing (from below the belly button) that get channeled to the navel by hairs acting similar to a conveyer belt."

what a cool site! euch this whole talk of belly buttons is freeeaaaking me out and if it doesn't stop i'll be forced to never look at ur blog again. yes I have a totally irrational phobia of belly-buttons (i know, so weird -think i've had this conversation with u before mindy?) is there a name for fear of belly-buttons?
Oh dear, sorry about that belly button thing Dani (after today I will never mention them again)... but yes there is a name for it! Omphalophobia - cool eh?
I get belly button lint all the time.
Luckily for me, divine flocks of angels clean it for me daily now.
Ahhh. I love being the pope.
Thank you for your congratulations on our recent marriage
Are you popes allowed to married? Surely you should be married to god.
Well yes, i do find mr pope benedict xvi rather god like, if you know what i mean
Even at 78!?! That's impressive.
Yes, well the divine flock of angels helps. In fact sometimes it gets quite messy- feathers everywhere
I see.
One really has to wonder if god would approve of all this.
Also after conferring with Andrew we have decided it is disgraceful for the pope to have a wife and he should resign in shame. Andrew is quite willing to take his place two years early.
Why on earth would belly button lint still be appealing to you Mindy? I know that we and our anonymous friend have all discussed this at length, and instead I think you should ponder why some people have outies, some have innies, and some people think they have tummy buttons so terrible that noone is allowed to see them. Ever. Even when that person is a really close friend and is not going to care in the unlikely event that it is weird.
On other news, my blog got lonely today, and i have a 5 day weekend starting tomorrow! well, 2 days of grad training starting 10am tomorrow at the crowne plaza, and then 2 days in welly, then one day back in auckland.. but still that's 5 days off work...
