i read the news... why?

I guess it's true (the title of this entry, I mean) as long as you consider the entertainment section "the NEWS."

George Lucas reported to CNN.COM that episode three will be a "tear jerker." That tells me it's going to be more of the same considering episodes 1 and 2 sure as hell made me cry like a little girl.

People--did I say people? Journalists who use puns in their headlines should be shot. I read in USA today this dandy for Ring 2 - "Sequel has familiar Ring."

My sides are splitting here. If that is some kind of attempt to be clever please stop right there. If I want cute and clever, I'll watch Spongebob Squarepants. I don't want it in my news and especially not in my headlines (since... that's all I really read anyway). My concern is that more thought went into that pun than the actual review.

Since I'm blah-ing here anyway, I should mention that if you have a website that plays some rinky-dink midi over and over for the eternal listening pleasure of anyone who wishes to peruse your site... I hate you. Everyone who has to hear that crap does too.

I was recently e-mailed several links to blogs of people who use their space as classified adds for selling things like kitchen tables and picture frame. The sender wanted to know if this is the sort of thing I meant in an earlier entry regarding a blog that would bore everyone (ie my blog rating system). My answer is of course NO. There are plenty of bloggers who's lives aren't nearly that exciting.
