The Randomness Using the Space in My Head...

1. Is it really true that Oregon removed solitare from all government computers because it was taking away too much time from the workday? Because I could totally believe it! That game, in any form, is addicting.

2. What did Billy Joel really refer to as the "New York State of Mind" (Jen...maybe you could help me out on this one)? Maybe this song speaks to my feeling out of rhythm lately.

3. Does it bother anyone else that nursery rhymes are REALLY dimmented. I mean, come on, jumping over open flames, massive head injuries for doing what was probably an everyday chore, being baked into pastries alive...need I go on? I am not about to go into finding politicallly correct nursery rhymes or anything like that. I just don't get it.

4. The whole connundrum of Dave Matthew's singing the song about wasting time. One, I don't know that he has much time to waste. Two, he is about the only person who has enough money to waste time doing nothing for the fun. Can you really have fun wasting something? (My children would say yes after the duct tape episode of the morning) It seems like the guilt of wasting something would negate any pleasure I consumed from it. And, is Dave Matthew's really doing nothing, or is he really taking notes and writing a new song. I imagine it is kind of like a stand-up comedian or a preacher...everything is an illustration.
