Utah has no concept of what News really is.

'Ello loves!

I'm feeling a bit sick, so this is probably going to be short. That way I can go snuggle up under a blanket and watch Juno. :)

I do want to rant a bit about the "news" here in Utah. It's completely ridiculous. I mean, they do an American Idol recap every Tuesday and Wednesday, WITH reactions from family members if there's a contestant from Utah on the show.

Basically they have about 5 or 6 stories every night, and they just keep saying "More on this later!" They come back to it. Multiple times. I don't need to hear the same story 3 times, especially when it has no business being on the news in the first place.

For example, tonight they are talking about the Obama's getting a dog. That doesn't really seem news worthy to me, but whatever, I can handle it. But THEN they have "why a local breeder thinks it's the wrong choice." Really?? Why do you care what kind of dog the President has? And for the love of Bob, WHY are you talking about it on the NEWS?

Here's a headline taken from their website: "Hospitalized Colorado Boy's Yorkshire Terrier Dog Found Dead in Salt Lake County." I'm sorry, I love dogs and everything, but the fact that one has died shouldn't be on the news. Even if the boy is in town for surgery.


I understand that nothing happens in Utah, but there are plenty of things going on in the WORLD. It's local news, yes, but if there IS no local news, move on to something that MATTERS.

Sorry. Rant over.

On a happier note, I have been improving my British accent. :) Really, it's getting a lot better.

Time for Juno,
