He looked guilty.

I asked him where Piglet was. Piglet was always around Pooh.

Pooh cracked an evil smile and continued to stare at the garbage chute in silence.

I have nothing of real substance to post. So here are some things that make me happy this week:

Flickr announced oodles of goodies including their partnership with Qoop (posters, photo books), englaze (DVD backups), and Zazzle (tshirts, posters, cards, and stamps)aaaand the long awaited – prints! We can now order prints from our Flickr sets, and if we so choose, can pick them up within a few hours at our local Target store. How fabulous is that??

Let’s see, what else.

This amuses me (thanks Maya!) Send it to your friends – Turkey Day is just around the corner!

Oh and a minor General Hospital spoiler and outburst — Rick Springfield is returning to GH as Dr. Noah Drake!! I think this means they’re actually giving Bobbie a storyline, ::GASP::

Ok, silly soap opera outburst is finished.

And that’s it folks. No new pictures to post.. nothing terribly exciting going on. I’m planning for a party in December, prepping ideas for Christmas gifts, filling frames and desperately trying to decorate the apartment.

Oh and yearning to scratch the ‘I need to redesign my website’ itch that I have.

TV squad posted about a funny article about what sayings used to mean and what they mean now.
Some of my favorites, (now with two drops of commentary!)

“Storm Central is in full gear!”
OLD: A major, possibly record-breaking storm is headed our way and there is important information you need to know for your safety.
NEW: It’s looking sorta cloudy, isn’t it?

This is almost embarrassing, at least as it applies to us Californians. I really think we have problems when it comes to weather, at the first sign of clouds or a light drizzle, it becomes Storm Watch 2005 with Doppler radar going popping up in between favorite daytime programming left and right. Insane.

“Go to our website for more information.”
OLD: Go to our website for the exact same information.
NEW: Go to our website for more information buried among car ads, Google ads, our marketing message, our “community” work, team bios, show schedules and how to buy advertising on our channel.

Exactly why I never go to my local news website’s. (Unless I am doing research at work and even then I try to use Bacon’s Media Source first)

“Are your children in danger? Watch us tonight to find out.”
OLD: Yes, there is contaminated water at our playground that is making children ill.
NEW: No they aren’t. Good tease writing, though.

Oh this one is annoying. I know you have to draw in viewers, and tapping into fear as a way to draw attention is always fashionable (as it is one of the great motivators, and a widely argued one at that) but GEEZ really. I’ve heard one about a million times, about the “common household product” that may cause various life-threatening diseases. Oh but we can’t learn about it for another 3 hours. Meanwhile, I’ll just be over there, cleaning my windows or mopping the floor with water because now I’m afraid I’m about to die. Whatever. I figure we’re not going to drop dead because if it was REALLY THAT LIFE THREATENING, maybe, just maybe the news would actually stop programming and break in and tell us to throw our Windex or Pine-Sol out the window.

But, it would seem, those attention grabbing moments are merely for those that do not watch your specific station on a regular basis. Grab a few more viewers for the night – which, again, another point – the life threatening household object story doesn’t show up until toward the end of the news broadcast. Right before the kicker about the little kid who goes door to door to get money for a charity or the little puppy that was saved from the hole in the ground.

Ok first off, I’m officially brainwashed because I remember those numbers by heart now.

Anyway – 840+ people are a bunch of sillyheads. They used the numbers in the recent Powerball lotto drawing.

Silly people! First off, helloooo the numbers are cursed!

Secondly, if for some mystical (or perhaps media-conglomerate-promotion-fever) reason these numbers were winning numbers – you’d have to share your bazillion dollars with all those other sillyheads.
