I don't know shit about html. Oh I know enough to put the lovely header on top, and move the guestbook thingy up, but that's about it. I need to get real and freakin' learn how to design a simple website. Any ideas or tips? (um, comments like "You dunno html? What kind of idiot are you?" are not appreciate, but welcome nonetheless.)

On a separate note:

I've been noticing that there are a lot of long distance relationships going around: Screenwriter man, minired, plus two girls in my office. I wish all of them well, because LD relationships are horrible on the soul.

On yet another note:

Wanna know what I did for work today? I spend the entire morning following a judge. Yup. You know - a judge. Robe wearing, gavel banging, motion denying kinda of a judge. Why, you ask? Well it's because we're doing a story on LAZY JUDGES - government employees who get paid over 100K a year and work about 3 hours a day. This particular judge, worked from 9:30am to 12:30am then went to the beach. Good times.

Yup. Television producers all over the country are pulling stupid shit like that right this moment becuase???

November is coming.

November is one of those golden months in television where advertisers scrutinize nielsen ratings to determine advertising dollars. It is also when you see shit like:

"IS THIS PLAYGROUND SAFE FOR YOUR KIDS?? WATCH US NEXT!!!"

Oy.

There are 3 different Sweeps stories:

1) How's it gonna kill ya.

Dangerous Trampolines

Unsafe Playgrounds

Unclean Food Trays

2) How's it gonna cheat ya.

Fat Free Foods??

Telemarketing Scams

Used Mattress Sales

3) How's it gonna outrage ya.

Lazy Judges

Speeding Judges

Repeat Drunk Drivers

Yup - the list above are actual stories that I've had the displeasure of producing. So do me a favor and turn off your television during the month of November - just so no one will watch and I'll be put out of my misery.

And you wondering why my initial entry was so gloom.

Which reminds me the second best thing about 3 day weekends - the ensuing short week.

"Good Times" is only two days away.
