it's been one of those weeks when everything makes me want to leave the planet. the world news, the White House news, environmental fact-finding, my own classes, the weather, my bank account, the fact that the cat urped a hairball on the kitchen floor and i stepped in it first thing. you see what i'm saying? everything. a week when i have felt 150 years old most days, and ready to be finished with waking up in the morning. a dirt nap sounding better and better. serious depression abounding. so, today i'm doing something Completely Different, hoping to blast out of the hole i've been pounding myself into. into which i have been pounding myself.
a friend called to say she had tickets to a filming of a session of Jeopardy, in Constitution Hall in DC today, would we like to go with her? the weather is too crappy to do needed yardwork; i don't think the basketball games are on until tonight - why not? i love Jeopardy, have often fantasized winning comparatively large sums of money by appearing on it someday. except of course the categories would all be sports and science, not literature and geography and i'd bomb completely. anyway, yeah, i've got to go take a shower and pull myself together and go watch other people win comparatively large sums of money on Jeopardy.
in the meantime, here's something i thought was mildly amusing, it's in three parts, all of which are worth a grin, so keep going. (i guess if i can still find something mildly amusing, i'm okay, huh? sort of?)

Well, it's about time you do something lighthearted! Think of it as a contribution to the worthy cause of saving your sanity; with all the depressing news and developments going on 24/7, who wouldn't lose it?
Have fun.
Zoikes. I know exactly what you're talking about! We must have been on the same wavelength this past week. Mine was horrific! Thank goodness for good friends, eh?? I just finished reading your Jeopardy entry, though, and at least that sounds like it was a pretty good time! Here's to a new week!
