I’m shocked, shocked to find that bombing is going on there.

Oh, and awed.

Except not really.

Okay, I guess I’m awed.

What a strange world. I can sit at my desk and munch on a turkey sandwich with provolone, lettuce, tomato and mustard while watching NBC News live coverage of buildings being destroyed by cruise missiles half a world away. (By the way, if you go to WNBC.com, the website of New York’s NBC affiliate, you can find a link to live video of Tom Brokaw and NBC News, with a bigger screen and better sound than on the MSNBC site.)

Last night I got home from work and pretty much sat at my computer until about 1:30 in the morning, when I finally went to bed. Now that I’ve got a fast computer and broadband, I love downloading stuff! Audio! Video! I’ve downloaded everything from Cavalli’s Salve Regina to, um… stuff that’s a little more risqué.

To think I used to be satisfied with still pictures.

Oh. My. God.

I think tonight I’ll type “bel ami” into Kazaa-Lite and see what I come up with.

Someone better invite me out this weekend, or I might not leave my apartment.
