In Other News...

A rant on News
It is a habit of mine to read the news on CNN and a local news website which I will not name...With out fail it seems the local news in some way or another has to link all news to San Diego. "Killer linked to SD" (usually by some ridiculous linkage-yes that is a word- like the second cousin of his college roommate's best friend) or "victim may have visited SD" (when they were five, they are now 42). I don't understand why they insist on doing this. I think it makes them look stupid quite honestly.
And then there are the open comments. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? I have a suspicion there is a colony of people located in the very center of Antarctica 1 mile below the surface in a secret lair. Their sole purpose in life is to write ridiculous, prejudice, angry, and rude comments on news websites.
That is the extent of my rant for now...

Random thoughts on big coffee mugs

Although I am certainly not opposed to large amounts of coffee, especially when I am falling asleep at my desk, I have come to the conclusion that much like small paperclips, large coffee mugs are useless.
  1. the circumference alone makes your coffee cold in double the amount of time
  2. it takes up a lot of useful desk or table room
  3. while at breakfast with friends you unwillingly play peek-a-boo behind your cup every time you take a sip.
