How can someone shoot all these people and not get caught [yet]? It’s enough to make you scream. Every day I thank God I don’t live in the area where he’s shooting, but I have friends and family down there, and until October 2, there was nothing unusual about the towns they chose to live in. I mean, it could just as easily be here. And I think of all the places where I am outside, and all the places Jr. is outside (way more than me, thanks to his daycare provider) and it’s enough to make me build a bunker in the back yard.

I just noticed “Today’s Weather in Hell” is Seventies Variety Shows with a picture of Cher and a black Michael Jackson. Do we all get the same image every day, or is it random. I don’t know that I’ve tested it.

I can’t wait until someone out there blogrolls me. When they do, their site will show up at the bottom of my page. I resisted blogrolling for a while, because I didn’t want to farm out any more content (I like owning it all…having it all on my own server). But this tool is very cool, and now I have a tab added to my browser that just lists my favorite sites and whether or not they’ve been updated recently. Isn’t the web fantastic?

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.
