I’m an addict

I’m such a news junkie. Seriously. I need help.  I probably only read 2 or 3 books a year, but if you totaled all of the news articles that I read in that same time period, I bet it would it fill more pages than the whole Britannica series. I can’t get enough. My daily routine consists of reading all of the major articles in the following newspapers online: FoxNews, CNN, WSJ, USA Today, PilotOnline, Suffolk News Herald, and last but not least, Yahoo news. (Ok fine. I also secretly read TMZ and E! Online. How else I am supposed to keep up to date on the Hollywood scene? I mean, I go to L.A. at LEAST every 2 years, so I have to stay on top of these things.) I love it. And honestly, it helps with my job.  I spend probably 70% of my day talking to people.  Now, I can talk about anything. I can tell you who won the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey game (like anyone cares), give you an update on T.J. Lavin, and at the same time tell you about the Schmalkalden sink hole in Germany (apparently it’s a big one).  So, it’s not a surprise, given the recent news surrounding the border violence in Mexico, that I’m dreaming about being attacked by a boat-load of Mexicans.  While I’m kind of poking fun at my dream, there really is some serious stuff going on down there. Did you hear about the newlywed American couple that was jet skiing on a lake that borders Mexico? I’m trying to keep this light, so if you don’t know what I’m referring to, then Google it.  Also Google what happened to the Mexican police chief that was investigating this attack… It’s absolutely horrible.  So was my dream.  There’s nothing pleasant about taking a relaxing cruise, only to be invaded and attacked by Mexicans. Nope – not pleasant at all.  Now that I’m thinking about it, there’s probably nothing pleasant about the Schmalkalden sink hole either, but given the choice, I’d rather dream about that.
