Month: October 2002

I know you all enjoy the ability to leave comments, seeing as I just get SO many, but I saw over on Jodiverse.com that you could draw a picture and chat with other users, and I said “Wow, all the Jodys should have that.” So I went and got my own art thingy. You can draw. You can chat…up to 5 people at a time unless someone wants to pay to register the software ($59.00)

Looks like those weren’t the guys. What did I say, huh? Huh? Boy, if you’re going to blow it, do it in a big flashy way, complete with full CNN coverage.

Oh, and I accidently put on the ripped pants this morning. I need to toss them, not wash them and re-wear them.

Me: I need to run to the store to pick up a few things to last until I get my unemployment check on Wednesday.

Her: Do you need to borrow some money?

Me: [Thinking about what I need to buy…bananas, deli meat, bread, milk, etc.] I don’t think so, it shouldn’t be more than $20.

Her: Oh you need more than $20!

…later….

Grocery total, without even trying: $20.08

I’m the grocery psychic!

I have to tell you, this is the first time I’ve been sitting at home when some big news thing has happened, and it’s just freaky to be able to watch CNN instead of waiting for the wire services and the CNN site to update. It’s so silly, I’m so used to just relying on the web for my news, that even after I got the email that someone had been arrested, it didn’t occur to me to put the television on until one of my friends said she was watching. Duh! The television!

Of course now I’m getting a little tired of listening to the talking heads speculate about stuff. Live pictures of an Exxon station. I mean if this turns out to be nothing (which I actually don’t believe will happen…I think this person was involved somehow) then CNN gave a LOT of advertising time to Exxon.

Oh, and people, buy a digital camera. Let’s not rely on a Poloroid camera to take pictures of breaking news outside your car dealership. (But it was interesting to see the CNN cameraman trying to get a good shot of a blurry Poloroid photo. “Okay, that blob over there is a policeman…”

Okay, I’ve gotta turn this off for a while and get some work done.

One of the new links I added to my blogroll today is yet another Jodi [sic] on the internet. I’ll have to check her passport, but I think she’s from some other major city on the east coast. Now if she wanders back over here, she’ll see that I fixed the name of her blog as it appears in my list. Sheesh. Some people and their petty demands for accuracy.
