OK, It's 2 am, and all of a sudden, I'm jolted out of sleep by the sound of music. I check my alarm clock, thinking at first that it's time to get up, realize it's 2 am, and look around to try and figure out where the music is coming from. I realize it's coming from the street outside. There's a traffic light right in front of our building, and someone is waiting at the light, windows down, music blaring out of their car. Hip-hop, metal maybe? Posted by Magpie @ 2:32 PM. Ah, the Emmies. MA, United States.

Somehow, I think that airing versions of The Daily Show. On CNN's International feed will lead to more international confusion, as opposed to making the rest of the world understand us any better. I mean, can you blame me. Even our own media doesn't always get the joke. Posted by Magpie @ 1:43 PM. The Internet cracks me up. Where else would you find A complete list of Bryan Adams covers?

Yes, it's the Hello Kitty Stress Test. Actually, just taking the test calms me down. Posted by Magpie @ 12:48 PM. Again, the ridiculous arrogance of bloggers. Ken Layne is quoted in this SFGate story on bloggers saying:. With the Internet and a dozen all-news channels, your average news junkie has the same resources as a paid journalist or columnist. Huh Did he get his dirty cop news from press releases, wire reports and other reporters, as he implies "paid journalists" do? Posted by Magpie @ 12:39 PM.
