Do you ever...

Do you ever get to the end of your Saturday and find that the one thing you needed to do is the very thing you didn't have time to even get too? Sheesh!



Not much time around these parts come May. Two weeks until the big day of triumph though.

The skinny:

I'm addicted to FOX News. I watch it like a soap addict. Oddly enough, it's not even Glenn Beck that draws me in- It's Bill... but more than Bill. The O'Rielly factor is great kicks and giggles but it's Megyn Kelly and Laura Ingram that I stay on the treadmill an extra excruciating mile to see! Seriously, if I die suddenly- do you think Megyn Kelly would raise my kids if I left her enough money??? Forget the part about me dying... do you think she'd host summer camps: political 101 for the savvy teen... ahhh, I can just see it now.... Hold the phone, why do I need kids? Do you think if I sent enough fan mail, she'd agree to send me an autograph???

Anyhow: I am suffering the pain of an ethical dilemma- Do I boycott NBC altogether or just CSNBC? I mean- this is a time where one should stand for what they believe right? How can I go on watching The Office when I am completely appalled by NBC's lack of ethics and profit blind morailty as a whole? Really it comes down to The Office... I've let go of everything else. I think I can do it. I don't even LOVE The Office anymore anyway. The writers have slashed the character of Pam with absolutely out of place sexual inuendos that have no business attaching themselves to her role anyway.



Also:


I read The Road on Wednesday. Hmmm. Not so sure about recommending it, but I do agree that the absense of punctuation and disregard towards grammar served to enhance the book. Reading it was like being on THE road with the man and the boy.


I will say this however, come apocalypse time I better not be here. Scratch that... Cormac McCarthy's got it right, it's the postapocalyptic era that's scary...


But then again, not if you've got the plan of salvation and serve to use your powers for good on earth. Hmmm, time to re-evaluate my priorities.
GASP!!!
I'VE JUST REALIZED THAT I READ A BOOK ON OPRAH'S BOOK LIST!...And that is something I vowed never to do again after having been led astray by The Bluest Eye (no offense Tony Morrison) and that Whole "Pieces" fiasco (No-I didn't read it, thank heavens! I was about 30 books behind when that hoopla hit prime time).
HOW CAN I EVER EXPECT TO SURVIVE MY NBC BOYCOTT IF I CAN'T EVEN HOLD TO MY GUNS WITH OPRAH'S BOO CLUB?!?!?!?!
Woe is me. Distress. Distress.
(Yes boo club. The K has been ommited on purpose. See Mark Dunn's Ella Minnow Pea for justification)
