Larry King Friday

- I like it when news stories are unintentionally hysterical.
And this one literally made me do a spit-take. Had to wipe off my computer monitor after seeing the headline. The Onion doesn't have to cover these stories, because they're already written.

- I've been meaning to mention for a while how annoyed I am by the Capital One Visa commercials. You know, the ones with David Spade sadistically torturing the "fat nerd?" (They didn't pick a Cary Grant-type for a reason, because they are making fun of the guy, which makes me mad.) Bad, mean commercials. The saving grace is that the language I remember from the commercial starts with "Capital One" and "What's in your wallet" and ends with "The answer's always 'No'" and "Nooooooooo," which makes me happy because the annoying commercials have made up my mind that I will never own a Capital One Visa card.

- By the way, the aforementioned "fat nerd" character was hysterical in a previous Volkswagan commercial.

- I have a tendency to put on my pajama pants, get my foot caught in the leg, loose my balance, and come very, very close to breaking my finger. This happens. Frequently.

- I'm fighting with myself over this, this, and this. It seems like an easy decision, but it is not.

- I'm eating cold pizza for breakfast, and it's making me happy. Spinach and black olives. Weird breakfast. Good.

- Today is Veteran's Day, which is just way cool. Working at the VA has made me think about that a whole lot more, and I'm just digging it completely. Happy Veteran's Day to everyone. Find a veteran and thank them, because they deserve that and it makes them proud, and they should feel proud as often as possible.
