- A co-worker and I were looking for a particular Homer Simpson quote on the Net this afternoon so we could use it for a headline on a story he was writing. The funny thing was how we'd both see a quote, say it out loud at the same time, then crack up as we recalled which episode it was from and said other great lines from the episode.
- There's a lightswitch in my room that doesn't control anything. I've plugged a lamp into every outlet in the room and tried flipping the switch to see if it would turn on. But it doesn't seem to affect any outlet. There's probably some guy in North Dakota wondering why his lights are going on and off randomly.
- Maybe it's just the fact that I copyedit for a living, but I'm noticing a lot more mistakes being made in very obvious places as far as spelling goes. The promo for tomorrow's baseball game on the local Fox affiliate just labeled it "tommorrow." I've seen "alright" on the CNN news ticker. It makes me think that people are just getting terribly lazy.
- Speaking of the CNN news ticker, I can't deal with that thing. It's really distracting. The thing is, they're already presenting the news, why do they need the ticker repeating the same thing over and over? I can't pay attention to what's on the screen and what's on the ticker at the same time.
- There's a distinct difference between Slush Puppies, Slurpees and Icees. Me, I'm a Slush Puppie person. I've yet to find any places with Slush Puppie machines around here though.
