I am SO SICK of seeing stuff about Michael Jackson. I really thought that once the memorial was over, we'd be done with it. But no. There's still an MJ headline on my Yahoo! homepage every time I log in. And I haven't been able to watch Entertainment Tonight or the Daily 10 for over a week because they're still talking about the guy.
It's just driving me bonkers. Even if there's still stuff going on with it (where he's going to be buried, was he murdered, yada yada yada) I don't need to hear EVERY DETAIL. Is ridiculous.

It's hard coming back from a blog break. My biggest issue with it right now is my reader. I'm scared to even open it up and see how many posts I need to read. I know you all will suggest just clearing it and starting over, but it's not that easy. I use bloglines, and I have to click each blog to clear it. And I feel so guilty doing it. Like I'm just ignoring all my friends.
There are a few blogs that I check each time, without going through my reader. Sometimes I'll just look at the bloglist in my sidebar and go from there. But I inevitably miss people. Someone whose blog I'm new to. Or a "real-world" friend who doesn't post regularly, and I end up missing 5 posts because I haven't checked there in two weeks. You know what I mean?
I'm just scared to even start.

I finished that book the other day. I decided that I'd read a little further into the book and see if the language persisted. It didn't. The worst of it was over. And I'm glad I read it. Only now I'm left wondering how much of it was fiction and how much was rooted in truth. Have you ever read a book that left you feeling that way?

I'm excited for the weekend! Tonight Superman and I will probably enjoy Vh1's Great Debate for a few hours, then watch The Soup with Joel McHale. (Assuming he's doing it tonight. It's been kinda spotty lately, and I hope we're not disappointed tonight.) Then tomorrow I'm going to a blog lunch with the fantastic Erin and some other bloggers. Woo hoo!! Can't wait to meet her. And finally, tomorrow evening I'm getting together with some friends to scrapbook. It's gonna be a total girly day, and MAN do I need one of those!

I am so with you about the MJ news. I'm sure my trashy magazines today will still be all about it.
The good news is that at least they aren't all about Jon and Kate anymore.
I'm glad to know the book got better. I'll have to see if my library has it.
I am excited to meet you too! Yay for girly days!
Thanks for playing! I will have to check out that book for sure! I'm always looking for new books to read!
And I SO hear you about the blogging break. I'm still on mine, and frankly? It's nice!
I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to check your reader. I've been wandering around from my side bar here and there, but I haven't checked my reader in a few weeks.
And I'm so glad to hear that you're going to Erin's shindig!
I'm excited to see you!!
A blog lunch! You lucky girl!!! I hope it's great.
And Jesse's Girl-- I was so in love with Rick Springfield when I was young :-)
Have a great weekend!
yeah, the MJ stuff has gotta come to an end... seriously. Is there nothing else going on in the world these days?
I debated and debated about coming to lunch tomorrow. And even which one, Erin's or Crash's? And then we got invited boating. And I just don't think we can pass it up. . . So I won't see you tomorrow, but I'll be thinking about you all while I'm chasing my kids around trying to stuff them into life jackets. Maybe I should have gone with the lunch. . .
It's time like this I'm extra glad I dont have a lot of involvement with the media. My hubby has a few sites he checks online (Fox News, CNN, etc) because we dont have tv, but I dont even do that. It's lame sometimes but like I said, I'm grateful right now. :)
I'll get to see you hopefully tomorrow! I'm hitting crash's lunch and then I'll head up to Erins to say hi. Look for me, cause I think you may be one of two people I have actually already met that are going.
I agree with you on the MJ thing. Have you seen the poll on FB, to vote whether or not LA should pay the 1.4 to 2 mil estimated that it cost for the memorial, or the family? Ridiculous! Why is that even a question! I voted that the Jacksons should pay, of course...
and I'm glad you finished that book. I actually read it a couple years ago, and remembered liking it a lot, and I usually throw out a book if there's the "f" word. But sometimes I'll go a little further if I am well into the book before it pops up. Good book, but the f-bomb is so annoying and unneccessary.
:~D
I haven't had the tv on a whole bunch because I've been busy elsewhere and I've been grateful.
I haven't been all that great at commenting...or blogging but I'm getting over the guilt. :)
There have only been two or three books that I have started that I haven't finished. One was called Blow Fly and it was WAY too gory and it had not nice words in it as well.
I'm there with the Google Reader & catching up. I was at Girl's Camp last week and now I'm trying to find my bloggy way out from under the avalanche of blog posts.
Hope your girly day was sweet!!
How was the blog lunch? So bummed I had to miss it.
You always have such interesting playlists.
i can't even look at my blogs at who i have missed on. I am doing well to just blog my own life.
I know, I'm sick of it too. Along with all that Jon and Kate stuff. Just sick of all that!!
