The Wacked Out Late Night News
Wed Oct 27 2004


Today is a wacked out day.

I was up pacing around last night, and to take a break from pacing, I began reading the news on the internet. From the Drudge Report to Fox News to World Net Daily, I ran across an assortment of items that added all together, make for a strange impression. Especially to the sleep deprived.

Here are some of the things I found:

Evidently, if you administer Prozac to very young mice, they grow up depressed.

According to some billboards posted in Florida, President Bush has been blamed for this year's hurricanes because he ignored global warming.

The "Mystery Beast" in Texas, turns out to be a coyote with a bad case of the mange.

An election official says there are people behaving like Brown Shirts at or near certain polling places.

In Austria, they have decided not to erect a statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger because he supports George Bush for President. Whaaaa?

Halloween has been cancelled in many schools because it might be offensive to witches. ???

Rosie O'Donnel held a political meeting to air her views on the election, and only about 40 people showed up.

If the Red Sox win the game tonight, they will have taken the World Series in a 4 game sweep, which in part might be influenced by,

A total eclipse of the moon tonight 8:00 PM (my local time) whereby one could say that the Red Sox win the World Series once every eclipse of the Moon.

It's a weird world we live in. Very weird indeed.

When I finally got back to bed, depressed mice being chased by mangey coyotes filled my troubled sleep. Good thing Arnold was there to protect me. And just by way of clarity, he wasn't wearing a brown shirt either. It was puce.

    There used to be a place right at the end of my block called Cookies Craft Cottage. That woman had YARN. I remember going in there when I was in high school so that I could get angora to wrap around my boyfriends class ring so it would fit on my finger. We wrapped them in angora and then fluffed them with tooth brushes. Gee, I hadn't thought of that in YEARS, lol

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    We have a new little yarn shop here in town and sprouted yarns do seem to be the "in" thing. I loved one in particular, but my, oh my, are they proud of it. OUCH! *that last part was my pocket book weighing in*

    There are good things and bad things about having a "real" yarn store in your area. The good thing is all that lovely yarn. The bad thing is the prices.

    Rick says to watch out for the Q hook. He claims he was trapped under mine for about 30 minutes while I was in the shower one day. I'm not sure about that, but it pays to be safe. ;o)
