Not so much for the accents, but for a different perspective on the happenings in the world. For example, did you know Anna Nichole Smith is dead? I like listening to the BBC in the car sometimes.

The voices are lovely. I love listening to the BBC World News as I fall asleep. The voices are lovely.

One time today I just clicked on CNN.com in my browser without even thinking about it and started reading away. Gained awareness about five seconds in and closed the window immediately. <br/><br/>I also attended a professional happy hour last night and was unfortunately seated directly in front of a FOX News television at Green Hills Grille. I couldn't hear it and was doing a pretty good job of not looking at it, but at some point the table(s) began discussing Anna Nicole. So I did gather that she's going to be buried in the Bahamas. Sigh.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, the spirit of the sabbatical is intact. I'm pretty gleefully uninformed. :)<br/><br/>Lesley, I LOVE IMDB. Huge swaths of time vanish starting at http://www.imdb.com/.<br/><br/>Saintseester, I can do without Boortz for a week--though you're right, he was just getting into the teacher's unions when I started my break. I'm betting he'll still be there when I come out.<br/><br/>Jeremy, Lea and I have fun with Darren Halling. I showed her his page on MySpace and she chuckled pretty heartily about it. Sometimes he's not quite the guy he looks like from his picture he would be to me, but I'm still quite entertained by him--and frankly, glad that jackass doesn't live around here.

Saintseester, I can do without Boortz for a week–though you’re right, he was just getting into the teacher’s unions when I started my break. I’m betting he’ll still be there when I come out.

Jeremy, Lea and I have fun with Darren Halling. I showed her his page on MySpace and she chuckled pretty heartily about it.

What a sack of crap that guy is. But he's union so whaddya gonna do.<br/><br/>I'm thinking I'm overdue for a disconnection vacation. Maybe if I'm doing ok after this tv purchase come early spring, I'll head out to northern CA again and just unplug for a week.<br/><br/>Don't get the shakes, man. Get the fries. Oowwwww...awful.

It's like watching a train wreck.<br/><br/>But, I don't know how you can go cold turkey now that good ole' Boortz has completely ticked of the teachers union. Seriously, that is going to be some good entertainment. I agree with you on the stupid britney/anna saturation. It’s like watching a train wreck.

It's totally trashy and mindless, but it gets me through the workday. When I feel that the new sources aren’t giving me anything noteworthy I feed my need by surfing IMDB.
