What's Going On

I shouldn't be allowed to watch or read the news before I'm fully awake. I'm much too sensitive for this kind of thing even at my best moments. I should give myself plenty of time to slip on that thick layer of skin before I face the world and it's saturated news market capitalizing on the misfortune of others and sensationalizing the minutest of details.

There was another random shooting at a college yesterday. All I have to say about that is: What the f#ck people?! Get a hold of yourselves! And then a twenty second blurb about how a satellite we put in space may come crashing to the earth. But rest assured, NASA's got everything under control. They're just going to fire a couple missiles at it to break it up into smaller pieces first.

So if you're out for a stroll and you happen to see a piece of metal fall from the sky, chances are the pieces weren't small enough to disintegrate upon entering our atmosphere, and you might want to get out of the way.

After all this good news, I caught a few minutes of the Curious George cartoon. I'd like to end with an actual quote from this episode:

"George and Jumpy played nut hockey till the sun went down."

Um...
