Rant; The local NY Tv news, in a fight for ratings, are doing these scuzzy stories & touting "news x exclusive-you'll only see this here" WHO CARES???I'm so sick of irresponsible reporting & "uncovering" scandals that aren't scandals.

Rave: We leave for our first car trip to Fla. on Sunday. (Tips from GoTravel & Scarlett??) I'll open a thread.:)

Rant: Another freakishly cold blast of Artic air is making a beeline to Boston. I am so tired of being cold.

Rave: As always my kids - I love those 2 knuckleheads.

Rave: Celebrating 17 years of marriage this weekend to the father of the above mentioned knuckleheads. We're heading to Boston to be tourists in our own town once again. Can't wait to hit the North End. My stomache is rumbling already.

Rant: Boss just asked me to come in on Monday, which we originally had off for the Federal Holiday.

Rave: Was excused was coming in on Monday as I have a prepaid reservation in DC

Rave: I'm going to DC with my BF for the weekend!

Rant: I don't know if we're coming back Sunday or Monday, because BF may have to work Monday, which means I may as well go in to work also

Rave: It's Valentine's Day weekend!

Rant: All the cheesy things that will be on TV as a result!! LOL

Rave: It's actually going to be in the 40's this weekend...woohoo, heat wave!

Rant: hate to think of all the paperwork on my desk when I come back...

Sarah Feb 13th, 2004 08:38 AM

Rant:That knome is a rip off from Amelie nothing too creative in that commercial. If you saw the connection right away there is nothing freaky either, just a stab at pulling in the artsy crowd.

Ani Feb 13th, 2004 08:40 AM

RAVE:
I'm due in 9 weeks!

RANT: Working out is getting even harder-I just taught my last aerobics class (for now) :( . Oh ya, and my back hurts.

cassidy2002 Feb 13th, 2004 08:56 AM

Rave: that freakishly weird but funny Quizno's commercial with the "singing" hamster/rat/rodent of some sort!!

Rant: Couldn't tell the above by the thermometer and wind gusts here!

Rave: New house is almost finished!!!

RANT: People that seemingly DON'T do a 'search' here first, before asking questions.

RAVE: That the majority of people are still so nice, that they answer anyway!

Sarah Feb 13th, 2004 09:23 AM

missjanna Feb 13th, 2004 09:51 AM

Cassidy, if you like that Quizno's commercial, there's more stuff just like that at this website: www.rathergood.com. I don't know if it's the same guy's handywork, but it sure looks like it!!
