Log
08:45 AM: I’m up. The dark, gray clouds are back. Could be a day of rain on tap.
10:15 AM: [Emmy] and I had cold cereal for breakfast, and I started a pork roast cooking in the crock pot for supper tonight.
11:30 AM: Typed in some of the notes from audio journal episode AJE-2010-05-06-11-12.
02:30 PM: They gray, dreariness continues this afternoon. It’s great at nap time, which we’re approaching right now.
03:30 PM: We’re back up again.
04:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of CBS’s Early Show on the DVR. We’re not going to record this one anymore however. It’s too long (two hours an episode). We’ll just stick with the evening news instead.
05:00 PM: Finished supper. The pork roast tasted wonderful as usual. However, I separated [Emmy's] portion before adding the seasoning. She says that they put too much salt in the spice packet included with the roast for her taste. Hey, no problem. That’s just more seasoning for me. I’m not concerned about eating salt, as I rarely exceed the RDA of sodium (2400 MG).
05:40 PM: [Emmy] is watching the 5:00 edition of KDKA TV’s local news, and I’m here blogging.
07:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR. Vicki and Billy discovered that they did indeed get married in yesterday’s episode. Then, Victor and Jack found it out as well, when Jack went to the airport to meet Billy, and Victor also went there to pick up Victoria. Boy, did the sparks fly. Ashley accepted Tucker’s offer to head up Jabot Cosmetics, and Malcolm offered Devon a job, which he accepted, but which Neil disapproves of. Good stuff.
09:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News, and last night’s episode of CBS’s 60 Minutes news show on the DVR.
10:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of CNN’s Lary King Live. The topic: Do cell phones really cause brain cancer?
11:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of CNN’s AC 360. The story I found most interesting was the one that talked about the study of childrens’ views on skin color, and which skin colors they find smarter, more attractive, ugly, bad, and so on. Most children, even black youngsters, found lighter colors preferable. This surprised me, not so much that whites would give better ratings to whites, but that blacks also did it. Apparently the so-called white bias extends to the black child population as well.
12:40 AM: Watched a couple season five episodes of I Dream of Jeannie. Now, it’s bed time. Good night, and see you tomorrow.
