the offWhites

I just finished watching the first episode of Pushing Daisies that we, er, “imported” from home.  While I liked it, and will probably continue to watch, I didn’t love it.  I think I was hoping it’d have a feel more like that of Dead Like Me, which. is one of my all-time favorite shows.  It was fun, though, in a very fairy tale sort of way.

It’s Sunday night, which means we’re back to work tomorrow as usual.  I’m not completely dreading it, but I still don’t feel all the way better yet from the pinkeye and other accumulated crud.  It’s interesting to consider something that I think tells me just how much we’re working - I found out that Al Gore had recieved the Nobel Peace Prize via the Apple’s website.

Yeah.

I wanted to take another look at the new fat nanos, as mine is currently acting like teenager (randomly refusing to cooperate and then just not even turning on the display sometimes) and we’re talking about possibly getting a new one.  I type in apple.com, and there on the front page, Apple’s congratulating Al like he’s a childhood friend or something (of course, he did invent the internet, so I suppose Apple and Al might be tight like that from way back).  I’m looking at it thinking “Really? Did I just learn this fairly important snippet of international news from the freakin’ Apple website?” And then I realize that in fact I did, and perhaps that’s indicative of the fact that I’m working so much I didn’t even have a chance to learn about it from a real news outlet. I guess it could be indicative of the fact that I don’t actually follow world news much.  I’m going to stick with the interpretation that indicates I’m overworked, though, I think.
