Maybe I watched too much TV news when I was a kid and got punished for it, so now I’m just reliving the haunting memories. All’s I know is I am majorly news-averse.
Most of you know that I do my best to avoid mainstream news.
It depresses me.
Like I need that right now…
You know thing are getting rough for me when I start using images of Lucille Ball and not Marilyn Monroe or Princess Di. I need help, People!
Well, I just saw this (while taking a break from fixing my book) and had to share it with you.
Maybe it will give you a bit of perspective on what “disaster” really means.
Maybe it won’t.
At the very least, it might make you laugh. And that’s worth the look-see.
For those of you not familiar with The Onion, it is the finest news source ever. Don’t take my word for it–that’s their slogan.
Have a great weekend, People!
What are your plans? I’m finishing up my book fixes so I never have to read my novel again!
I love the novel, don’t get me wrong, but I’m at the point where I think I can recite it. In my sleep.

Technology, gotta love it when you’re not cursing at it! 😉

I understand now. Looks like my computer’s on safety mode to block out, possibly, objectionable content. Seems I don’t know how to change that either. LoL
Oct 27, 2014 @ 16:33:54
It”s truly heart-braking, isn’t it? 😉 Ah, what would we do with the Onion?
Oct 27, 2014 @ 09:04:25
Just when you think life can’t get any tougher. It took courage for them to come forward with this story. (I’ve been an Onion fan for years)

Hmmmm… is right. Sorry. Can you watch youtube videos on your computer? Maybe you could go to youtube and search for “The Onion, DVR Disaster.” You’ll find it there. But that seems like a lot of work for a busy artist like you! 🙂

My son is a huge fan, too. I’m sure there are lots of them! 🙂
Oct 27, 2014 @ 08:42:48
No we don’t! And in this case, they aren’t that bad off! 🙂
Oct 26, 2014 @ 13:47:02
hahahahaha! Suddenly I feel so much better. We don’t have to look far to find others worse off than ourselves! 😉

I’ve been a long-time fan of The Onion … and you know I use them on my blog … so simply running into another fan is a joy!
Oct 25, 2014 @ 17:47:59
Still didn’t work. Hmmm…
Oct 25, 2014 @ 09:23:09
I got rid of cable and my dvr just so I could avoid this pain and suffering! 🙂

Cleansing breathes, Diana…that sounds better! I picked up a copy of Liz’s book and started it. You’re right–it’s good and quite funny!
Oct 25, 2014 @ 09:17:01
Too funny, huh?
Oct 24, 2014 @ 19:33:59
Hilarious. Still smiling.

Like you, my weekend will be filled with fixing typos, editing and a lot of heavy sighing. Sigh… see, I’ve started already.
Oct 24, 2014 @ 16:28:39
I couldn’t see the video (seems to be happening a lot lately). The news is a worriation. I do watch it but I don’t get so bothered anymore. I just like being aware but I do take occasional breaks.
This weekend, I won’t be watching the news. I’m working on my art and resting my feet. That’s enough.
Oct 24, 2014 @ 15:56:03
Oh boy…I’m sure that’s not too far from the truth with some folks! Have a good weekend, Lorna. 🙂
Oct 24, 2014 @ 15:26:22
It’s amazing the things you find when you’re sick of fixing typos! 😉
