SouthernTV... a glimpse.

If I really cared about my blog, I would have blogged at 1am this morming.  I say that because I was awake, and I had the most FANTASTIC ideas about what to blog about.  I was so excited about blogging... but I was also excited about not getting out of bed.  And, as is usually the case, I have no clue what I was so excited about this morning.  Curses!

A random thought this morning.  I've been trying to watch the local news while I was writing this.  And I have three things to say about local news in Columbus, Georgia.
  THING THE FIRST: why do I need an anteana to get local channels?  Honestly, I have DirecTV (as of yesterday... hooray) but needed to pay an EXTRA $50 to have an anteana installed for local chanels.  Was I high and just thought the WHOLE NATION went digital?  Also, I can't search for shows to record on local chanels either.  Which means when I wanted to record GLEE, my television couldn't find the show.  I'm working on a solution so I don't punch anyone.



  THING THE SECOND: your newscaster has a fat face.  I don't think she's a fat person... just one of those people with a chubby face.  How did she become the lead news anchor? (HA!  found a picture.  she's on the right.  Obviously she's not getting crowned anything...)


  THING THE THIRD: your bullet points SUCK.  They say stupid and pointless things.  Honestly, there was a (very sad) report about not finding a baby's body in a landfill (what?) and the third bullet-point (out of 4) was -from BlahBaleh police department.  As in, we got this information from the BLehBleh (obviously i don't remember the name) police department.  a) why does that get it's own bullet point and b) why is that bullet point 3 of 4?
  THING THE FOURTH (I know I said you only got three, but I am continually astounded): a guest on the news just said "you know what they say here in the South, bigger hair, closer to God."



Okay... this has to be it for now.  There is really nowhere you can go after that new catch-phrase.  This has been your glimpse into the South for the day.  And, yes, you're welcome.

I don't think her face is chubby! Besides, does it really make her more or less able to do her job?

The big hair comment, however, made me lough right out loud. (Okay, not really because I'm at work... but in my head.)

Miss you!

Glee is not on until next week, so maybe that's why your DVR couldn't find it. I know, I know, I'm upset too. Blame it on the World Series. So basically, you can just blame it on straight people.

The good news, however, is that when it DOES air, you'll be very pleased because it's the best episode yet!

I think Ogden has that same catch phrase!

I totally think she has a fat face.

ps, I think about you all the time now because I remember all the times Ben and I have moved across the country and it sucks. I hope you're adapting well and making oodles of friends!
