BBC News

I have discovered, of late, that BBC is sooo much better at the news than any of the US stations. They actually report on international news -- they don't repeat the same singular story form the middle east over and over -- but rather they have news reports covering places like Africa, Russia, and Southern Asia. They actually think of the EU as seperate countries rather than the singular EU. It's rather revealing how US news really shapes what you hear about -- and care about. But at the same time -- I'm not sure if people in the US care enough about the international new stories to watch it. I think it's a joint issue -- which the US news media is unwittingly depriving the American people of vital international news.

As for the guy suing Apple b/c their IPod's can cause hearing loss. You are such a loser. I can't believe that you think you can get a piece of the action. I hope that a judge let's it go pretty far -- making you incur large legal costs -- then smashes down the case with prejudice. That would be awesomely funny.

I have no idea what I am going to do this weekend. Probably nothing. Sweet.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
