welcome to my blog, which ruth made me make.

wow, this is a lot of pressure, right? i guess this blog will help me keep my new year's resolution, which is to have at least one insanely witty thought every day. now, i have an outlet for that one witty thought.

so, here's something. last night, as per my wednesday night tradition, i flipped on on the television at 10 pm, tuned to NBC, and prepared to wrap myself in the warm fuzzy goodness of law & order. then, in the cruelest twist of fate, i was instead faced with katie couric! apparently law & order was pre-empted for this horrifying farce of a special report with katie couric talking to a bunch of teenagers about sex. (have i mentioned that it was horrifying?) i watched in stunned silence during the show's intro, which showed clips from the special including katie couric, face scrunched, asking a group of high-school students, "what does 'friends with benefits' mean?" "what is 'hooking up'?" sweet jesus. can you imagine anything more harrowing than discussing hooking up with katie couric? hopefully NBC will be providing therapy for these kids.

i guess that's all for now. i'll be back if i have more witty thoughts.
