Sign Number 327 that you are spending too much time on Facebook: You become a “fan” of “Flipping the pillow over to get to the cool side.” I have had five friends publicly state that they are a fan of this. I am completely flabbergasted by this. Not that I don’t do it myself, of course. Just that I have never felt the need to become part of an online group of like minded individuals in regards to their beliefs towards pillows.
On the gossip front: Jon and Kate are getting divorced! This would be horrible for the kids if, you know, they hadn’t already had their childhood stolen from them in an attempt to garner ratings and / or visits from Emeril. The best part of this story that I have read recently is that Paris Hilton and My Beloved Lindsay just hate Jon and Kate with a passion because they have taken over the covers of all the weekly gossip rags. They can’t believe that they have lost all of this publicity and are now trying every stunt imaginable to get back to their place of honor in the supermarket checkout line. Sometimes I wonder if I have been successful in life. I mean, I’m not famous and even in this little corner of the internet I am happy to get 25 readers a day. But to be honest I’ll take this over being upset that I am not on the cover of Us Weekly any day of the week.
On the whole Sarah Palin / David Letterman fiasco: Yes, the joke was borderline bad taste. No, it wasn’t as big of a deal as people made it out to be. An apology and a get over it are fine. I’m more concerned about Olive Garden pulling their advertising from the show. Not because of the fact that the company is making a rather interesting moral stand but more due to the fact that this implies that people still want to eat at Olive Garden. With all the other restaurant chains going out of business how in the world do they stay open? I know when I think about getting an authentic Italian meal I head straight for the biggest chain restaurant that I can find.
That is about it for tonight. Just had a long day in the office that featured layoff announcements. Hiring me into your company is apparently equivalent to inviting in a plague invested rat into your house. Wherever I go, layoffs are sure to follow. I should be fine and if not, well, I could always go back to selling ringtones. Because once you discover the secret to exactly why some people feel the urge to pay $2.50 for a Shakira ringer someone will always pay you to share that bit of knowledge.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.
