Priorities

If there was any residual doubt that I have no interest in TV news, it was formally erased today.

Around 5:15 this afternoon the entire newsroom was gripped by the drama of a bank robbery that turned into a police standoff in Detroit. News helicopters overhead, hostages trapped inside, snipers on the roofs, SWAT teams... the whole shebang. Everyone was glued to their TV sets watching every second, unbelievably excited to know how it was going to end.

I was sitting at my desk somewhat oblivious with my TV tuned to CBC, swearing quietly as the US men's hockey team wasted golden opportunity after golden opportunity in pissing away a point against Latvia.

Between that and OSU putting together its worst shooting performance since the MSU loss, this has been a banner day all around.
