24-Hour News Cycle & A Little Sniffle

Telly: The National on CBC
iTunes: When a Man Loves a Woman, by Percy Sledge

I caught part of Stroumboulopoulos' show today. It was all here'swhathappenedtodayincanadaandtheworld. Bob Woodward is right, the news media today is too rushed. There is very little time for serious contemplation. Used to be, you thought about what happened instead of watching it and moving on. That's why I still prefer the paper over television news. Still hate how the newsprint gets on my fingers though. However I am finding that, in the past few months, I too have been feeling rushed. I skim through through headlines and articles, catching the gist of the story then moving on to the next. Heck, I even skim through the funnies. Especially on Adam @ Home. That strip is so not funny. What is that guy thinking? Puns are not funny! Geez.

I feel like I don't have time.

Well sir, I am going to make time! I will heed Carl Honore's warning and take things slowly. Especially now. I'm getting the sniffles. Taking things slowly will, hopefully, make me better faster.

I think I got Harm obsessed with winning and Xbox360. I wish you all the luck, girl.

Achoo!

Fo Schizle!! It's all your fault. You should have seen me last night trying to log in for free pin numbers....with no mouse!! Thanks Manfred.
