broadcast news.

So, I don't know how many of you are CNN watchers but I just have to share a little ridiculousness that has been going on during the primaries. I present to you, Anderson Coopers Pizza Pie Chart.

I'm not sure what it is that prompts broadcast newsies to incorporate unnecessary bits of technology, but it's kind of cute. And cute in the sad pathetic sense, not the "aww baby" sense.

I'm so glad I'm in print.

lucky guess.



So lately I've been freaking myself out a little bit.

When I'll be talking with somebody and they hesitate to think of what to say next, in my head I say almost exactly what comes out of their mouth after their hesitation is over.

When customers come into the ice cream store I work in, I can guess at about 75% accuracy rating what flavor they will choose.

When asked to guess a number out of 100 last week, I wrote down 12. But then had a second thought, so changed the 1 to a 4 making my number 42. Turns out I hit the nail on the head and guessed exactly the right number.

When I was playing "Guess Who" last weekend, I looked over the cheerful faces of the twenty some characters and would guess one before we'd even started asking questions. I was right 2 out of 3 times.

When I opened my fortune cookie this afternoon it said something like, "Luck follows you where you go, so go far."

In one instance any of the above incidents would seem normal. I'd chock it up to blind luck and move on. But there have been just so many in the past week that it is almost hard to avoid! I'm not the type to believe in the supernatural but hmm ....

I'll keep you posted if I hear voices of dead presidents or start walking through walls or something cool like that. *crosses fingers*
