That's why I rarely watch the news...I probably shouldn't avoid it, but it's so depressing that I usually hate to have it on. I remember a few years back, waking up early for school, eating breakfast, and the news was always on - and I'd find myself in a horrible mood after watching it. And I think the evening and night news is probably worse - or I've joked about it being that way, because there's been more time in the day for bad stuff to happen.

And that's why I rely on Jon and Stephen for keeping up with current events.

My random post: my mom just gave me a post-it note cube that she got at the store, and I...can't stop smelling it. I've always had a thing for office supplies, and I swear, these post-its have the distinct smell of an office supply store, like Office Depot. And they were wrapped in plastic! Yet smell so good.

Hey, my dad likes the smell of Home Depot, so I'm not the only weird one.
