Last Week...

So I read the 100 most influencial people edition of Time magazine. Ok, mostly I just skimmed it to see who they deemed most influencial. I mean, does anyone actually read those news mags from cover to cover?
No, really? I'm curious about that. I have tried on occasion, but I just can't. I actually rarely read any magazine like that. In fact, I don't often read entire articles.
At first a headline may spark an interest and after a paragraph or two I no longer care. Sometimes I actually get half through the article before I stop caring, but rarely do I make it to that final period box thing that marks the true end of the article.
Is there such a thing as reading ADD because I might have that?

But I disgress. After skimming the issue of Time I made my own list from theirs (because who has time to actually compile their own). I'm not sure influencial is the right word either. So here is my 2009 most outstanding persons list. These are in no particular order

The Twitter Guys (Jack Dorsey & Biz Stone)
Suze Orman
Jeff Kinney
Tom Hanks
Lauren Zalaznich
Barbara Hogan
Kate Winslet
Tina Fey
Sarah Palin
Chesley B. Sullenberger
Richard Phillips
Jeff Bezos

If you aren't familiar with someone on the list, then you should educated yourself and look them up. I have provided a couple of useful links below:

Dude! It's cold

Well, for Houston anyway. It snowed this afternoon like real flurries but nothing that stuck on the ground. The kind of snow that sticks on the ground and stuff almost never happens in Houston. In fact that only happened once in my life that I remember and we were not home. Ironically, we went to Colorado for a White Christmas. We made snow angels, went ice skating on a frozen pond on Christmas Eve and went skiing on Christmas Day. Memories...
This is me standing in the flurries. That lasted just long enough to snap off a few pics; then I got my ass back into the warm house.

I'm contemplating a name change; Not for me but for my blog. The current one doesn't really resonate with me anymore. Basically, I'm over it. But it was an improvement over the original title which turned out not to be so original.

TIVO -- Can I just tell you how much I love this invention? In fact I put it on my list of things I'm thankful for (is that bad?). I read Bridget McManus's blog this morning like I always do.
(My morning really sux when I awake to find there is no new Bridget blog to entertain me.)
Anyway, she is apparently attempting to cheer herself up by making a list of five things she has to be thankful for, so I have been thinking on this off and on all day in between my brief lectures on female reproduction (I was never so tired of talking about pussy -- maybe if I could use that word it would have been more fun). Anyway to make a long story drag on this is what I came up with at first. 1) the internet for introducing me to vlogs with hot lesbians I can daydream about
2)being able to control the heat/AC in my classroom 3) My electric blanket 4) living within walking distance to the grocery store 5) My Tivo In retrospect my list is maybe a bit shallow but that's what it looks like today. Tomorrow the possibilities are endless. Maybe I'll amend it. It's my list I can do that.

Ciao

I'm off to watch Life.
Next time I might actually blog on one of my upcoming topics or NOT! Who knows?
