This makes no sense right?

I was riding on the bus the other day, into Manhattan, and I happened to look up at the ceiling. My eyes laid on to an advert which read, "Yes there is a quicker way.", was espousing the quickness of the New York ferry, a rival mode of transport to the bus. I know economic times are tough but accepting advertising revenue from a major rival? That makes no sense to me.

It reminds me of times when I have been listening to the radio and the presenter decides to tell the listenership what is on TV that night! Why? Television, since its invention, has murdered radio so why help them? Its like if someone shot you and whilst you are bleeding out you took the gun and pistol whipped yourself to death. I don't understand this. Am I missing something? Restaurants seem to agree with me because when you go to McDonald's they don't read you the specials at Red Lobster!

You know that times are tough when...

you are working two jobs and THEY ARE BOTH UNPAID! I started a second internship today and I think it will be much better for me than the other one. It is a smaller company, a skeleton staff and I will see much more of the inner workings of a production company. I will pick up more skills and if not with these guys I will be much nearer to someone wanting to pay me to work for them. Which will be nice.

Riding home on the bus tonight the women sat behind me were chatting to one another, they were clearly friends. One lady said to the other "Isn't she pregnant?" and the other replied "Hypothetically." Hypothetically? How can you be hypothetically pregnant? You either are or you aren't, just go to a doctor and they can confirm it. The "hypothetically" can be removed. I am hypothetically pregnant, I am also hypothetically a marshmallow but again if I went to a doctor both things could be clarified!

We have just finished watching The Bachelor finale, we didn't watch any of the season. That show is an abomination! The bachelor gave the ring to one girl, then changed his mind and dumped her only to hook up with the other girl he had previously let go! Outrageous! How did he pull this off? Talk about having your cake and eating it too. He ate the cake he chose originally and then got an entirely new cake! How much cake does one guy need? Hmmmm cake.
