The big buzz across the Internet right now is Janet Jackson's breast exposure during the SuperBowl. Since I don't want to post such a picture here, you can go check it out here. What cracks me up is that 10 minutes after it occurred, pictures were up all over the net. Personally, I think the whole thing was staged and the folks at MTV who came up with it should be ashamed of themselves. Sadly, that was the most exciting thing that happened for the majority of the game. The ads weren't all that spectacular this year, either. I did like the little donkey that wanted to be a Budweiser Clydesdale. One a brighter note, Beyonce did an awesome job on the National Anthem. It made me teary.

I absolutely LOVE the current Apple iPod ad campaign that features neon colored backgrounds with silhouettes dancing with iPods. That's why I had to post this Foxtrot cartoon:



Apparently, a lot of people emailed Bill Amend because they didn't get this comic because they hadn't seen the iPod ads. Just to be safe, here is an example of one:

Sneezing or coughing makes my throat hurt. So, I sneezed a half hour ago and tried to do it in a way that wouldn't hurt my throat and I pulled something in my upper back. Yay, now it hurts to breathe. I just can't win lately.

I never realized how much I lay my arm across my forehead when I sleep until last night. I'd keep touching that bump and waking myself up.

My newest ebay prize is a June 1999 issue of The Cross Stitcher magazine that features a chart called "Angel of Cross Stitch" and uses 361 DMC colors. It was designed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of DMC floss. There used to be clubs all over the Internet of women who were stitching this piece. Most of them have gone away (people gave up/lost interest?), but this one site still exists. It doesn't appear to be active, but at least it has a couple of the errors in the chart and a floss shopping list. After I finish this module at school, I will begin this project. I haven't done any cross-stitching since my Vegas trip and I'm really looking forward to doing some. The best part about this is I can easily resell the magazine for what I paid. It appears to be one of the most sought-after cross stitch magazines out there. THe one I got is in mint condition, too. The subscription cards were even still there. EBAY ROCKS!

Isn't it funny how when you're unable to eat something, that's what you crave? I'm craving nachos. I know there is no way I could enjoy them with the raw state my poor throat is in, but I'm craving them just the same. In fact, I've been craving them since last Wednesday. *sigh* Maybe by this weekend my throat will be up to having some.

Tomorrow they're supposed to reveal the identity of the Salem Stalker on Days of Our Lives. Finally! I am so sick of this story line. It's been going on for months and they're dragging it out even more the closer they get to the end. Argh! That's one of the things I hate about soap operas. It takes forever to get to the point, to move on, to resolve anything. Maybe that's one of the reasons I hate my job so much. It really is a real-life soap opera there. I was told yesterday that the manager was crying when he left work Saturday night because he is so sure the store is going to fall apart while he's gone. How pathetic. I should get moving and get to work, I just don't want to go there. I've got so much stuff I want/need to get done around the house. It sucks that I lost so much time being sick. *sigh* Ok, I'm off.
