So would you say that it's not particularly reassuring for one's possessed electronic devices to start playing this (the colour scheme is not my fault) when one starts in on writing up an email for working out some major foundation-cracks in a relationship?

Okay.

What it followed up with is not an improvement, psychologically. :}

Well, it's very nearly unreadable, but on the other hand, it isn't RED ON PINK.

Not that I'm bleeding from the eyes or anything.

RED ON LURID VALENTINE'S DAY RIP-OFF CANDY PINK, at that.

I swear, that's the first time in years I've physically winced back from the screen.

From Overland, because it's easier.

Whitney goes back to trying to work on this email, promptly gets hit with Boston. "Can'tcha say you believe in me? Don't you see what it means to me?" Oh, shut the fuck up.

Interesting - it doesn't bother me at all. I know people's perception of colour varies a lot, though.

The one we found physically painful was here.

Blergh. (Ow.)

Yowch.

I am deeply thankful that I usually run my screen at levels rather towards the low end of brightness and intensity.

I do not wish to imagine what that would have felt like had I had my monitor at full brightness. Particularly had I not been warned. (And even ignoring the fact that this monitor blurs things a bit at full intensity, adding that eyestrain to the mix.)

I think it's rendered somewhat more amusing, in a sick way, if you realize that we were looking at the journal because its owner wanted to know if she was a shallow teenybopper.

Nope, doesn't bother me either. I think reds and pinks seem to be the area where perception varies most, from anecdotal evidence.

Would you feel better judging this?

[...]i have school tomorrow and i haven't finished that god awful book. is there any wonder why i couldn't finish it over the summer? it's like one of those horrible books written in the 60's. well it's not like one of those books, it is one of those books. where everything that happens means something else[...]

(ok, ok...that's not fair. she *does* acknowledge that she's maybe, possibly, being a dimwit. Sort of.)

I know it's not the earthquakes that you're necessarily worried about, but this LiveJournal post (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=insomnia&itemid=163736) by insomnia has a lot more fact than fiction, and is fairly comforting...
