Okay, I love Kyle Chandler as much as the next girl, but this is a little overkill, don’t you think? I pre-ordered Season One of Early Edition and it came today. Three copies of it! Which is two more than I really need. I’ve contacted Amazon to see if it’s possible to return them without having to pay the postage back, but still–I’m excited to see it. I loved this show when it was on the air–about a man who gets tomorrow’s newspaper today and runs around trying to prevent catastrophes before they happen. What’s not to love? And, did I mention it has Kyle Chandler, aka the coach from Friday Night Lights? (Does anybody else remember him from the short-lived Homefront?)

We’ve had wacky weather today–on again/off again clouds and sun, which made for some very interesting clouds. I took this on my way home at lunch. In fact, I pulled over into a school parking lot and got out of the car in the rain to take the picture, just because it was so cool–the blue sky and sunshine, the wisps of dark cloud. Just … nifty.

And then, I stopped on the way home after work to take these, because I’ve never seen cloud formations quite like them. Heaps of vertical clouds (not to mention one very mushroom-ish cloud, but since the news hasn’t mentioned anything catastrophic in NY this afternoon, I’m pretty sure this is just Mother Nature playing tricks.)

Of course, to take those pictures, I had to stop right in front of the farm stand up the road, at which point the big, “Fresh Strawberries” sign that’s been calling me all week dragged me into the store.

So, yes, I bought some strawberries. And some blueberries, while I was at it. And a couple peaches, too. (Hey, I LIKE fruit.)

They are now cleaned and sliced in a bowl in the refrigerator. (It would have been rude to use their parking lot and not buy something, right?)

Oh, and about my keyboard? I’m pretty much stuck with what’s ON the laptop because I don’t have a desk to work at–just a bedtray. I sit on the floor while I’m using it and slide it out of the way when I’m not, but there is nowhere to put an extra keyboard. Even if I wanted to prop it in my lap, where would I keep it when I wasn’t using it?

There were a lot of tributes to George Carlin yesterday, and I spent really too much time browsing among his sketches on YouTube last night. I admit that I prefer the ones with little-to-no bad language, but the man was brilliant at observation. And so, instead of sending you to yet another video of him being hilarious (which he was), I’m sending you, instead, to Psychology Today to read his last in-depth interview. I found the link at Copyblogger (a great blog about writing, by the way), and the interview is amazing because the man was so darn smart. High-school dropout or not, he had a flair for words and expressing himself in such a way as to make you think about thinks you hadn’t noticed. (His routine on “stuff” is one of my favorites. So, okay, I lied–ONE link to a hilarious video.)

One last link, just because I find it interesting–I don’t have kids (except Chappy), but this look at the way parenting has changed since I was a kid was fascinating. Of course, since I don’t have kids, it’s easy for me to say!

Oh, and the knitting? Yawwwwwwn….
