Jean Cunnington's Weblog Musings on Work and Life

 I may be a bit behind the times, but I've just really discovered the wonders of myspace.com. 

My niece  graduated from high school  in May and is living  Vitoria, Brazil for the next six months.  She's working in an orphanage as part of a mission trip before she goes to college in January.  To make it easy for her to communicate with all her friends and family,   she set up a myspace page.  I'm thinking..OK..this is the latest fad....have to deal with it......just a boring webpage. Boy was I wrong!!  It has been a great communication tool !!!  

 I even set up my own page, but I only have one friend so far...my niece. Most of my friends are probably even farther behind the times than I am.  Oh well, I guess that's what this type of technology is for...making new acquaintances.  We'll see how many friends I have in a few weeks. If I don't have any online friends, I guess I'll be forced to make friends the old fashioned way...face to face... what a concept.

I think I've found a corollary to Murphy's Law that applies to me when I watch my favorite television shows.

Right now, I'm addicted to "The Deadliest Catch". Don't know why.  I'm not a reality show fan at all (well....except for "So You Think You Can Dance", too).  A show about men sailing little floating metal cylinders into horrible weather and monstrous seas to catch the ingredients for Crab Louis facinates me.   I plan my Tuesday evenings around the new show.

It never fails that someone I'm trying to reach calls just at show time.  I don't regret talking to my friends and family.  I love them dearly.  But it sure puts a damper on my TV watching for the week.  Now I have to wait until the reruns air in a few days...and hope that no one calls ...again.  I do know about TiVo..but I'm not much of a TV watcher so it's never been worth the money.  Oh well....
