I just want to mention some good news today. Because I was so deep and dark yesterday.
While we might scratch our heads and say why would anybody want a $35 laptop, it would be good to keep in mind that about 86% of Indians live on less than $2 a day. The down side to all this is that I’m now feeling even guiltier about what I paid for my MacBook.
The Blue Butterfly is back in Britain, baby!! Yeah!! ::Read aloud in a bad Austin Powers impersonation for full effect::
Enterprising conservationists were able to bring this species back from extinction. (Did I use the word “species” there correctly?) Anyway, this makes me feel better about the future as well as being a human... being. We might mess stuff up, but, we can fix stuff, too. I know, that was deep, yo.
I know, are the women talking and shirtless? No, actually, Leonardo DiCaprio took his shirt off. And this? Is always good news. Come on. You know you want to look. And, yes, this is TOO news of international proportions.
Good for him. It’s taking a lot of energy for me NOT to write something sarcastic about how blood spurting from your arm is a good excuse to stop and clearly this man has some acute form of a mental illness. Oops.
So? What good news did you hear about? Or bad? Feel free to join in.

The axel, or axle (whatever the eff it is), in my car is just about to break, so I can't drive to Lexington. :(
Good news: Adam is picking me up!
I will have several drinks in your honor.
(I haven't seen or read a single bit of news today. My day has sucked enough!)
Leo!!!
Ahem...sorry. Didn't click on that link. No sirree. And I think $35 is a little steep for a lap dance. That's what that other link was about, right?
I say go India! How kickass is that? It looks like it's basically an iPad, but cheaper. Take that, Apple!
Oh my god you had the link wrong to the Leonardo DiCaprio shirtless pics and I almost just emailed you to break up with you as friends because that is NOT SOMETHING YOU JOKE AROUND ABOUT!
But I figured out you were just missing a colon or something, and now I love you again.
For LIFE.
I don't read the news.
