I really need to get a digital camera. Apologies in advance for trying to describe something that could oh so much more gracefully be captured with a picture.

I am sitting in my grandma’s jacuzzi, it’s overcast which is just the kind of weather I like. It’s sunny out, but everything is in the way of that sunlight actually shining through and getting to me, so instead everything looks backlit. As I sit back, relaxing from what seems like months worth of moving crap, finally unwinding I look up and see thunderheads racing across the sky, not moving at slow speeds but practically roiling across above me, and I heard ONE peel of thunder. I debated getting out but the warmth was too great so I just gave a long sigh and sank deeper into relaxation.

So far, so good

I know I haven’t really gotten to why I switched blogs yet. That’ll come soon, I promise.

In the interim I have to talk about today’s news. I went to CNN.com and here are the top news stories. These are put in my idea of least bad, to worst.

Movie “Over my dead body” sucks (paraphrased)
Readers Weigh in on Microsoft’s Yahoo Bid.
Police corner escaped prisoner
Clinton, Obama Changes tones at debate.
Coulter wants Clinton over Mccain
Why clooney won’t stump for fave obama
Van Der Sloot throws wine in writer’s face
387 Pound man walks off half his weight
Big chark chomps bitty shark at aquarium (with video)
Bush “Troubling signs” for economy
Six dead in Carolina plane crash
3rd Undersea Internet Cable cut in Mideast
Killing of model-bodyguard stuns moskow
Chinese travelers stampede train stations
Hollywood Muscle quashes Ledger Video
Kindergartner chokes to death while on bus
Mom said baby “Fit right into the microwave”

and the headline

“Mentally Disabled women blown up”

In a Baghdad market, 2 mentally disabled women were strapped with explosives and then detonated by remote control, killing 98 people and wounding 200 more.

While that sounds like a plotline from 24 gone horribly wrong, when I look at all those news articles I go “Oh right. This is why I don’t read the news” there’s nothing positive on there. I guess the 387 pound man loosing half his weight but… fuck me 387 pounds? Even my fatass never weighed that much. And the cops catch some guy who had escaped from prison. I guess that’s good news but that’s as good as it gets?

Thats fucking horribly depressing.
