The Daily Distraction

I’m sick…and desperately trying to stay awake. So I’m here, and, so sad is my life at this moment, was reading my own blog. Actually, I almost commented on one of my own posts, but then I thought “No, why do that when I can make a WHOLE SHINY NEW POST?” And so…I just thought I’d ask (not that I seem to get much response on here, all my friends seem to just e-mail me…which is weird…maybe it’s because none of them can spell and they don’t want anyone to know. I’M JOKING!), does anyone else find that guy on the French Who Wants to be a Millionaire REALLY REALLY orange??? Or is it just me?

And because I’m sick, I don’t have anything to share really…except this really bad joke I just found in my inbox:
