Hexagons

It was all about hexagons this weekend. Hexagons while watching mindless TV and Saturday Night Live while waiting for Meghan to get home from babysitting Saturday night. Hexagons during the Desperate Housewives finale, the news and Catch and Release on HBO. I don't know why but I really love that movie. Not Jennifer Garner so much but everything else. You'd think with all that "sitting on my butt in front of the tube" time I'd have more done. Well, no. But I'm not bored yet and that's a good thing.

I'm feeling a bit, I don't know, cynical, today. I hate hate hate the media these days. EVERYTHING gets so overdone and over reported. Myanmar. Then China. Now Ted Kennedy? I'm not saying that those natural disasters don't deserve media coverage. People need help. The media appeals to public sympathy. Ok, I get it. But Ted Kennedy gets taken to the hospital and Massachusetts stands still. No more China or Myanmar. The media outlets are on death watch outside Mass General waiting for a glimpse or a sound bite or a press conference or stupid video of his family and friends arriving or departing. Man, give me a break! Channel 5 even interviewed Tom Brady about it at a Kennedy/Shriver charity event on the Cape. Like Tom Brady is an expert on anything. Oh and let's make this an opportunity for the presidential candidates to weigh in too. Hilary Clinton cracked me up with her great respect for Kennedy and his work in health care in this country. Way to go making a plug for your own platforms, Hilary!

Sorry. I've just had enough of all the bad news. Let's hear some good news for a change!
