News flash, etc.

Hello people! Allons-y!

First off, this is pretty bad news for me. The only time I'm not stressed out is when I'm sleeping. Then again, I'm probably going to be a crazy old lady anyway, and no one will notice.

Also, if they don't come out with this for Mac, I think I'll just lie down and give up. I've been playing the Sims for 8 years now, and this game gives me the feeling of, 'Oh, look at little Timmy, off to school by himself!' (Note: I have no life.)

So they've been calling for nasty weather since the first of January. Then the first weekend they said it would be nice, we get two inches of snow. This is obviously a meteorologist's way of jumping out of nowhere and yelling, "SURPRISE!"
Did I mention that I hate surprises? Especially when they involve a -10 degree windchill and snowy roads.

Fact: the little Chinese-Japanese deli spot at the supermarket has better Chinese food than some of our local restaurants. The world is very strange.

Since you guys liked Florence Foster Jenkins so much, here's some more stuff! Wahoo! Here's the Wikipedia entry about her (the taxi-cab crash bit is awesome), and here's another video.
This is one of my favorites.

I can't help it...

I have to post this. I tried not to, but it's great; you couldn't make this stuff up.
My favorites are under 'Education' and 'Out of Left Field.'

And I'm glad other people realize the importance of music on vinyl. Downloads are easy; CDs are easy to store. But there is nothing quite like opening up a real, proper album, or a single. For some reason, it's just better to hear 'Complete Control' roaring out of a record player, sounding just like it did in 1976.
Ahh. Fake nostalgia. :-D

In the news today....

So, this is a bit worrisome. Not so much for the fact that it's untrue, but for the fact that people will actually believe that sticking a pad to your foot will suck out all the heavy metals overnight. Yeah, right.

Also, this could be worse. Actually, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. His young age concerns me, but I'm ready to give him a chance.

You guys have probably already seen this warning, but be careful anyway. Facebook is having issues, too, I hear.

In other news.... hooray for 'Hamlet.' I wish I could've seen it. I mean, it's not only David Tennant, but Patrick Stewart, also. Oh, well. Maybe they'll make a film. :P
