Random Musings

1. I think we all know too much about President-elect Obama now. Just off the top of my head, Yahoo! headlines have included, over the past two weeks: 

- the breed of dog (it needs to be a hypoallergenic mutt) he's getting for his daughters when they move into the White House (plus several stories on CNN about willing donors!!),

- the fact that he can't be all over the Internets no mo' cause everything he does is on record (although he's very Internets-savvy),

- the book that he's currently reading, 

- the names that Secret Service assigned him and his family (they all start with Rs, I believe),

- and that he has a good jump shot.

Certainly, I'm missing more points. But my point is, ENOUGH! He's cool; I get it. He's too cool to make fun of. Like you know...nobody makes fun of Will Smith, right? It's 'cause he's so damn cool (I think I got this from The Daily Show).

2. When you say pirates...It doesn't have the same gravity as, say, "hijackers on sea." I blame good ol' Cap'n Jack Sparrow for this. Thanks Cap'n, for causing me to ignore this potentially alarming issue.

3. Twilight. Fine, I'll give in. I'll read it. Over winter break, maybe.

Psh.

4. Me? A political junkie? Maybe...

5. A Colbert Christmas on Sunday. Love.
