Random Thoughts
Apr. 1st, 2003 09:02 am1. The headline on the New York Post, describing Derek Jeter's paiful shoulder injury, calls it "agony" and "disaster." Guess no one at that newspaper has been reading any of what's in the news.
2. It's April Fool's Day, and I can't imagine what kind of gag would go down well this year. I'm all for humor, even in wartime, but the kind of joke that I find funniest might not work too well in the overheated environment of the day.
Maybe it's time to try that "you'll never believe but Jim Morrison surfaced today" idea, but who would even care if he did? (Had a roommate in college who would have fallen for it, though, but that was in 1986.)
3. Got the Nigerian e-mail today. I wonder if anyone ever replies with something as elaborate and fake, to see how the scam artist reacts.
4. Rewatched "The Truman Show" last night. Amazing how prescient it was in terms of the reality TV boom. Still can't understand why Carrey didn't get an Oscar nomination, or why Ed Harris didn't win one, or why this wasn't a runaway hit. Well, at least it won the Hugo.
