Sometimes I Just Don't Understand

How many of you have heard about the YA series The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins?

If you are like me, you haven't, well, I hadn't heard of it until I really started book blogging a few months ago. Now I know all about it.

The final installment in the series comes out tomorrow and all my blog feeds are starting the: Mockingjay hiatus.

OMGWTFBBQ.

I understand not wanting to see spoilers but erm, with the way some feeds work, you wouldn't have to totally give up blogging until you finished reading the book. Just skim them, if you see reviews, ignore those posts. Not hard is it?

Ok it must be.

I guess I'm glad I've never gotten that involved in any series, be it, Harry Potter, Twilight or this.

It is all wingnuttery if you ask me.

I'm So Glad Michelle Obama Isn't My Mom

There was an interview with Michelle in one of the Sunday paper inserts this week and I definitely feel sorry for our president's kids. First, mom has taken up the cause of childhood obesity, so I imagine there's not much junk food floating around The White House and second, she doesn't let the kids watch TV on school nights!

Yikes!

I hope those two kids are into sports or have a really early bedtime.

I don't watch a huge amount of TV and I didn't as a kid except on Friday night, but to say NO TV! That's kind of harsh. Not even iCarly? Or cartoons?

But what can we expect from the woman who made the Easter Egg hunt healthier.

BAH!

But that could send me spiraling into the I wish the government would let me be as fat as I want rant.

That said...I'm still glad Mrs. Obama isn't my mama!

Turn Off Week

This week is TV Turn Off Week. What is that? Its a week of no TV thought up by a bunch of idiots that think TV is bad and is rotting our minds, making us fat and a host of other nefarious things.

Its funny. The way my TV schedule is, I could actually do it, as most of my shows are in reruns right now.

HA!

Have a look at the website for TV Turnoff Week here.

Now I'm not saying that the idea is bad, but the group itself are a bunch of wingnuts. Eliminate TV?

I'm sorry there's not that much amusing stuff to do in my neck of the woods. Plus some of their suggestions don't fit into a busy person's life. I don't know about you but when I get home from work I'm usually tired.

Here are some work week suggestions of things to do when you have your TV shut off.

1. Catch up on your sleep.

2. Visit a library and then READ!

3. Clean the house.

4. Take the family out to dinner.

5. Teach your kids to do the laundry, so that you can do more of #1.

6. Turn on the radio and try to discover some music that isn't crap!

7. Do some gardening.

8. Get to the gym.

9. Discover how long it takes for a family conversation to turn into a family argument.

10. Read the TV listings to see what you are missing because you have to TV shut off this week.
