The News

So I generally don't comment on local/state/country/world news at all on here because, well to put it lightly, I don't follow the news. Not that I'm advocating being an ignorant tool of whatever system manages to reach me, I'm simply just not that interested in it. Local news tends to gloss over things I would deem to be important in favor of "human interest" stories about cats in trees and farmers with oddly shaped/sized rutabagas. National news tends to report on what's important to people in California and New York. And, to be honest, none of them do it with any sort of flair or panache. They've got no gusto. I demand GUSTO, damn it! Enter The Daily Show.
Now most people would readily dismiss this modern marvel of news and humor as vapid stimulation for an audience lacking any sort intellectual curiosity or interest in actual news. To those people I would like direct the following question: What news show did Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf recently appear on a mere day before his historic dinner/summit with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and President Bush? I'll give you a hint: this show does not air on CNN.

Work is No Fun

Dreary days are not meant to be spent at some obnoxious, overly-flourescent entertainment store, even if it is YOUR entertainment superstore. They should be spent curled up in bed, reading and drinking flavourful tea. (The 'u' is there to denote sophistication, by the way. A little trick I learned from my aussie mates.) However, with a little drizzle of rain pattering away on my window, a recently acquired book sitting on the table, and a bag of tea aching to be brewed, I depart for work. Sucks to be me.

Rain, rain, deign to stay
Stick around 'til I can play
I hate to be briefly away
Hi, ho Hastings up, up, and away.

Lousy money.
