NPR FD!

Thank goodness!  The BBC just came on NPR , which signals the end of the day’s fund drive and the start of actual, uninterrupted news.  Colorado Public Radio (CPR) does something witty called the “warp drive.”  This is a short fund drive in advance of the actual fund drive.  Supposedly, if you contribute and they meet a certain goal, then the real fund drive will be shorter.  Well, darn it, we contributed during the warp drive and it still seems long! 

 

And they are not entertaining.  I have the feeling that the CPR staff running the fund drive think they are hilarious and entertaining the listeners, but they are wrong.  If only they put Cookie Monster on instead – that might be entertaining.

Speaking of Cookie Monster, there are some funny pictures on the interwebs of the CM. 

Like this one:

I hope the fund drive ends soon…

Terry Gross is way cool

I am not kidding here - I would like to know Terry Gross. I feel like I'd learn something about myself, reach some hidden, special place if she interviewed me. I mean her interviews rock! and all she does is ask...

I'm not going to go on and on about Terry. If you haven't heard her show, then get with it. Check out her podcast or listen via NPR.org.

What I am going to do is describe something that I imagine Terry never experiences: lack of motivation. This is sacrilege to say but I am only really motivated at work lately. When I get home I just don't know what to do with myself. Well, that's not quite true. I don't really feel like doing anything. I'm not depressed (trust me) but just sort of...it's like this, my brain is like a staticky tv (you know, how the tv used to get past midnight when there were only 10 channels).

Soooo, ok this is entry #2 and the neurotic inside is already stealing the show! Stay tuned - the neurotic inside is never far.
