What do I do when I am not reading other blogs, playing golf, sleeping, eating, watching TV, or posting? Well, other than the crossword and jigsaw puzzles and the solitaire games and reading books, I scroll through the news online.
Google has a News feature. It's not bad. You can choose to view as many headlines as you want, read various publications, follow links to blogs or opinion pieces. I am pretty much addicted to it.
So, what have I read about today? Click on the underlined links for more.
The mother who gave birth to the octuplets the other day already has 6 kids. And, according to CBS, the family had filed for bankruptcy. I suspect the bloom is going to be off this particular rose pretty soon.
Mount Redoubt volcano in Alaska is about ready to blow. This is interesting, as is anything that touches on the Ring of Fire.
Thumbs down for the movie "Taken" and for "New in Town". I don't go out to movies much but I like to know what's coming to HBO and Showtime in about a year.
Peanut butter is becoming a danger and you need to know who makes the stuff in that jar or on those crackers. Man, I like those crackers!
Apparently, North Korea is unhappy about not getting enough attention lately so it's making noise. And Hamas is declaring victory. Haven't heard from Chavez in Venezuela in a few days.
Business is bad, the economy sucks, there's some allegedly important football (no, not soccer) game is coming up Sunday, and so on.
Never mind, most of this is just too depressing. I gotta go get another cough drop.

It sounds like your flu/cough is impeding your blogging ability. I think I've been invigorated to blog again after my week or so of lacking inspiration, but you show a lot of the signs of temporary blogging stoppage.
There's the escape route of asking your bloggers to create the discussion. The short, chopped up posts. The resorting to links that lead to other places. And the list of all the other things that probably annoy you, but would please you most of the time. You just have posting a Youtube video to do.
But your blog is still fantastic. I don't know what's wrong with me, don't let me pressure you. I read about the Alaskan volcano and the octuplets. And I generally believe that movie reviews are only for those who have seen the movie and want to share opinions. All movies should be judged by actually seeing it yourself. I mean, haven't you ever watched a movie that everybody else thought was horrible, but you thought was good?
Michael.
Michael - You amaze me. Incredible powers of observation. I had been tossing around the Youtube video idea for the last two days. Are you sure you aren't psychic?
I have watched many movies that I thought were great but were panned; a number that no one, it seemed, but me thought were good; and a few that I knew stank but were so bad that they were unique enough to have a value on that basis. But the two movies I mentioned are "formula" types and unlucky to have any saving grace. There's a blog post in that, isn't there?
