Decisions... decisions...

Two messages in my Yahoo! email Spam folder, one with the subject "Asian Singles" and the other slugged "Sexy Single Asians"... obviously, either of the two, when pursued, will occupy my time fully, so I can choose but one, BUT WHICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE??? I really don't need to be forced into that kind of under-the-gun decision making right now... honestly.

For the love of God...

has it really come to this??? We live in a country, a world where THIS is newsworthy?!?!?

Miley Cyrus Offers Hip-Hop Kiss-Off To Twitter

Miley Cyrus (and don't think for a moment that I don't deeply rue and lament the fact that I even know who this person is) has made a rap video to explain why she has deleted her Twitter account... and posted said video to YouTube.

Lord, just go ahead and hit us with Armageddon, please!

Here's a weird one...

Indulging in some good old fashioned time-wasting... I'm looking at aerial images of my hometown (the lovely metropoils of Katy, Texas) on Google Maps. I scoot over from my folks' house to a bird's-eye view (if the bird were flying really, really high in the sky) of Jack F. Rhodes Stadium, home of the six-time Texas state football champion mighty Katy Tigers... anyway, here is said map, showing Rhodes Stadium... the facility is incorrectly indentified, in a most amusing way...

Yes, Enron Field... once the nomenclature of the Astros' home ballpark, before, of course, all the corporate corruption wackiness. I wonder how in the world a high school football stadium 35 miles from downtown Houston would be misindentified in such a way.

For what it's worth... Google Maps DOES have the Astros' ballpark correctly identified as Minute Maid Park.

Tickling the Ivories

If you are an American Express customer and you manage your finances online, you are probably already familiar with this... you sign on to the American Express website and when the home page loads, it plays a piano riff that is only two or three seconds long, but despite it's brevity, I find it to be utterly infectious. It is a fun, bouncy, playful little riff... being the loser with nothing better to do that I am, I sometimes find myself reloading the page an additional time or two so that I may enjoy the musical little nugget of joy again. When you sign off, you get what must be no more than a three note goodbye tune. It's almost makes my crippling debt fun!
