Things that have recently made me say: HOLY CRAP
1. My sleep habits: I mean, I know that the time shift has thrown me off, and I know I’m an early riser, but bounding out of bed–literally, bounding–at 4:30am is unseemly.
2. Al Gore: ZOMG, he does the same thing everyone else does with profile pics (i.e. uses one that’s a decade or so out of date and rilly flattering and stuff). Yeah Al, you’re hot and all, but sweetie wasn’t that photo taken 80 pounds ago?
3. The creation of alternate universes: Which is what this $20 kit promises, but then you realize that it’s essentially a philosophical exercise. The frosted side of me is not amused.
4. The effect of shopping locally: Gambit Weekly and other alt papers around the country are encouraging readers to spend at least $100 in local shops this holiday season. That’s a pretty modest amount, and in New Orleans alone, it could pump almost $20 million into the city’s economy–which, on the contrary is no small change. (Hippies, take note: you can do this and still swear allegiance to Buy Nothing Day; just wait ’till November 29 to buy those hackysacks.)
5. Fable 2: It’s kinda goddess-awful, but I can’t stop playing. I’m OCD that way. Stay tuned for a review….
