They had keys, but didnt let themselves in thankfully.

I have to dash from my ensuite to walk in robe, with doors and windows.

The other nite I totally spaced that I dont live out of town and have neighbours now and I walked out the front to move the hose in my t-shirt and undies.

I always thought the letters to your magazine were made up, until a new neighbour moved in...

My entrance to the interstate: 2 car accident on the 'state. I thought "well how'd they manage that?"

Next exit: 10 car accident

Next exit: 3 car accident

Next exit: unknown number of cars accident

Roads were clear, even though there was about an inch of snow on the ground (I live north of work.) It's the overpasses and bridges that iced. People people, ice and snow and pavement have the same properties they've had since you started driving (maybe even before that!) There is no reason to now believe that it will be any different. And your big mean truck slides just like every other car.

Oh, ain't snow and winter lovely? I guess if you don't have to drive anywhere.

And it's only just begun.

I haven't picked up a Time magazine in around 25 years. This may partially explain why. Look at this week's issue. USA gets fluff. The world gets the news.

Clodfobble · 11-30-2011, 05:56 PM

That's really disheartening. Not that I read Time magazine either, but still.

DucksNuts · 11-30-2011, 06:55 PM

Im procrastinating...I need to go into town and go grocery shopping...but I dont want too.

Aliantha · 11-30-2011, 07:04 PM

Starve?

Aliantha · 11-30-2011, 07:30 PM

I am coming to you live from Dazzas new iPad2. It's kinda fun, but a llot like a big phone.

Aliantha · 11-30-2011, 07:37 PM

I think I need to put my glasses on.

Next week we'll have "Obama is President - All is well."
While the rest of the world sees "Israel Nukes Iran"

Ive been work boot shopping....I'm feeling pretty sexy right about now.

...well.....'cept for the sweat in places there shouldnt be sweat.

The thing is, that's just the cover right? The contents of the magazine are not different are they? So, the articles about the unrest will still be there.

Maybe the US market is such that optimistic imagery sells better?

That's not necessarily some damning indictment of a culture of dumbing down. It's just a slight difference in what draws people to spend their money.

glatt · 12-01-2011, 07:17 AM

The contents are probably more similar than the cover is. Although I'm sure there are a lot of differences in the content too. When my family lived in Germany in the 80s, we got the international version of Time, and it had a slightly more international focus.

infinite monkey · 12-01-2011, 07:37 AM

The inner content is the same, I imagine. I just finished a brief subscription to Time that I bought off someone's kid.

I know the story depicted in the Europe et al version is the same in the 'merkin version, because those are the articles I skip over to get to the good content: like articles about anxiety and movie and book reviews. And Joel Stein.

There's the question, would Joel Stein feature in ferriner issues of Time?
