House sitting right now. It's nice and quite over here. There are no neighbors BLARING rap music (I live in a duplex...), no one across the street working on their demolition derby cars at all hours of the day/night (revving constantly just to make sure it alright, in five minute increments), no drunkards walking home from the bar singing very loudly. Yes. It's nice over here. While looking around the house I'm sitting, I found an interesting sheet with facts and figures on television. Here's some of the information on it:
- Time per day that TV is on in the average US home: 7 hours, 40 minutes.
- Time per week that parents spend in meaningful conversation with their children: 38.5 minutes
- Hours per year the average American youth spends in school: 900
- Hours per year the average American youth watches television: 1,023
- Age by which children can develop brand loyalty: 2
The other day I picked up my first hitchhiker. It was interesting. He looked like a big Santa Claus... but dirtier. His name was John. And he was from Michigan. I called my friend Megan first. To let her know I was picking someone up and for her to call me back in 30 minutes. If I didn't answer, call the police. But he was sweet. So everythings alright.
Chuck Norris likes to knit sweaters in his free time. And by "knit", I mean "kick", and by "sweaters", I mean "babies".

Basically they scout jr. High basketball games, find what they think will be good prospects, then can either give them gifts (one kid got a cameo in a Nike commercial) or cash. While they can't (theoretically) touch them in college, when the kid gets out, he's can already be loyal to whoever courted him in elementary school.
And I'm embarrassed to admit how much more work I got done when the TV season went into reruns.
Stay cool, bebe!
