Does anybody read these?

It's Tuesday!

Song of the Day: "Wake Up Older" by Julie Roberts, off her self-titled CD. This is a great CD. This song is my favorite song on the album. The first time I heard it, I could relate. I think we've all done it. And besides, more country songs should use the phrase "gettin' it on." Good stuff.

Yesterday I took a sick day. I was miserable. I'm still not 100% today, but remarkably better. Stayed in bed all day. Did finally take a shower and get out of my PJs. Then I slept in my clothes. Sick days are so disappointing. You're miserable, yet you're off work for the day. It's kind of like when I was looking for a new job a few years ago. I had all this free time but had no money to go anywhere good. Oh well.

Today's funny headline: On Yahoo, from an AP article. Gitmo 'Reverse Stockhold Syndrome' alleged. Worst part? When I got into the article I had to read 8 graphs before I got confirmation that they meant to say Stockholm Syndrome. My best guess? The young kids on the copy desks these days had no idea what it meant. And probably used a spell-checker. Nine times out of 10, spelling errors in proper nouns are caused by spell check on computers. I wouldn't even know how to use spell check. They disabled all our computers in journalism school, and it's something I've never used. Oh, I guess I have. It's called a dictionary.

Very rare for me not to have much to say, but I'm pretty much tapped out. I am trying to decide if I'm going to go to the big benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims in Houston at the end of the month. I've got a pretty exciting offer on the table, but my mother says if I go one more concert she is changing the locks while I'm gone. I am playing it by ear at this point.
