So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…

Other stuff too
1) Of course we’re not moving to Indianapolis. Someone just likes to get my hopes up by dangling job postings in front of me and then ::boom:: snatching them away. Because who wouldn’t want to live in the south, where between us we have 1 friend and zero family members? 2) You know what sucks?…
Random Things…
Here are two things that bug me: 1) When school teachers misspell words on their Facebook updates. I really do fear for the future. I mean, holy cow, they aren’t updating their statuses in Latin for crying out loud. That said, I made about a dozen typos in the last 25 words, so whoops. Karma,…
on the move? probably not…
Every few years, Gene forwards me an email from upper management about jobs that need to be filled… remember the time he wanted to go work for a data center in Afghanistan? This time it’s an account where we’d live in either Washington DC or…. Hmm, some city I think I flew over once… Chicago?…
So, let’s talk about stuff!
Yes, it is nearly 1 AM and I’m awake. Hooray. Our trip to Indiana was great except for the too short part. One of the highlights for me was running around town with just my mother. While on the hunt for a parking spot, I drove past a mother and daughter (about our ages) and…
Dog Food Dumbass…
So. Three dogs sure do eat a lot of dog food! Last month, apparently on May 29, I ordered about 6 different kinds of dry dog food. The dog food store that was literally at the front of my neighborhood went out of business (sad), but the puppies gotta eat… (I ordered a variety because,…
Hi
Don’t mind me…just practicing posting using the Smartyphone…did I tell you I added ‘Smartyphone’ to my phone’s dictionary? I feel like such a trailblazer. In other news I tried texting yesterday w/ Denise…finally joined the 21st century!
Where have I been?
(really, where have I been? My short term memory’s been crap for awhile but now my middle term memory too?) Lately: Two weeks ago, Gene and I went to dinner and to see Gene’s favorite musical performed. Dinner was yummy and the first act was great but one of us fell ill so we had…
Yay!
Bad News: I think my coworker Broomhilda may be losing her “archrival” status Good News: Because she (very graciously!) agreed to move her vacation off of the week of Geek Week 2011! Bad News: Now you guys have to read a bunch of posts where I contemplate airfare and hotel deals in/to Las Vegas. YAY!
Oh, White Dog, you scamp…
So! Today: Breakfast at Bob Evans. Yum. Grocery store (had 10 things on the list, still managed to buy a lot of stuff – how does this always happen?) Sat at home, thought about White Dog’s power problem, saw that the Genius Bar had available appointments at 12 noon (which was about 75 minutes from…
