I have been in a good mood today. When I left work, as I walked down the hallway, I could feel a huge smile spread across my face. Went and worked out- nothing big--just walking on the treadmill and listening to some good music.
All this stuff about the death of Anna Nicole Smith was on...CNN! Although CNN tries to be "real news," they're just like any other major news channel...succumbing to gossip. It cracks me up to watch the news...turn on different stations and they basically have the same segments on at the same time. Yesterday, CNN and Fox News Channel both had something on Lisa Nowak, the astronaut who tried to kidnap/kill another woman who was in love with an astronaut that she [Lisa] also loved...so soap operaish...and difficult to express with correct syntax. One news station entitled their segment, "Lunar Love Triangle." Another station had the headline title of "Astro-nut?"
Sometimes I think it would be fun to work for news stations and think up witty feature story titles...then I snap back into reality.
The Anna Nicole Smith coverage is ludicrous. I guess it is "sad" that she died and, yes, she is a pop culture figure but who really cares? While on the treadmill, I saw all the Anna Nicole footage...you couldn't miss it. Tomorrow they are doing an autopsy. I don't think I'd be surprised if the death was somehow connected to Trimspa and all that crap that she took to lose weight. I know weight loss stuff is "supposed" to be safe [or so they say], but all of that metabolism-increasing stuff has to be bad for you....maybe some type of heart condition/attack. It could have been some type of overdose too...
Regardless, is it really necessary to have this all over the news? Tonight's Larry King is devoted to Anna Nicole Smith. Thank goodness it is Thursday night and NBC rocks- I will have no temptation to switch over to Larry King Live. I try to stay away from the pointless "news" crap but it's hard when it is on every channel...
