This is my second favourite SNL spoof of all time! I would have inbedded it with youTube but they keep taking the full-length clips down. Watch it on the SNL site before it goes!!


Couric / Palin Open - Gov. Palin and Katie Couric get real and adorable

This is based off the real interview - unmissable stuff!! Her views on Israel, the bailout package

Although I haven’t lived here long I can only imagine the topic of the televised Vice-Presidential debate would cause most Americans to yawn, but I have a feeling tonight’s might break all records by having the same viewer ratings as Obama and McCains. It seems far more people are curious how she will handle the debate and much less interested in Biden or the actual information passed around in the debate. This may seem like a lot of pressure for her but actually is set in her favour. Additionally the bar has been set so hilariously low by recent media ridicule of her gaffes she can only amaze and surprise voters tonight, and I’m pretty sure she will. Another hidden but huge bonus in her favour.

Biden on the other hand who has years of heavy-duty experience behind him will need to carefully watch he doesn’t come across as condescending — particularly because the media are just waiting to accuse anyone of sexism towards her — hoping rather she just naturally shows herself up. The public don’t like know-it-alls (unless they are hilariously gay, oh man wouldn’t that be a great debate! Hopefully in my time). This is going to be an extremely tough balancing act for Biden and will require a LOT of self-control if he follows the rules. There is so much he could say in this debate that I have a feeling he will hold back on to avoid being hated. I am hoping his personality will shine through. I hope he will get caught in the moment! I could learn a lot from his experience. I want to know more about how his mind works and I happen to like know-it-alls!

Thanks Pieter.

This showed me how to resist this unsatisfying urge and enjoy just being aware of being so wonderfully alive.

BBC Radio 4 - This week’s Something Understood

Thank you Mom for always knowing exactly where I am.

I had a bit of a scare tonight with a jammed iPhone that would not boot and being miles away from an Apple store I was out of options. After doing the whopping big update to v 2.01 late tonight the wifi router with remote hard drive went down, along with it my connected iTunes library causing iTunes to crash, right at the golden moment while the phone was updating and rebooting. Oh noooo! Even after I struggled with cables in tight spaces and resurrected the network by plugging directly into the router to get iTunes up again, the phone wasn’t even unrecognisable. The best my laptop could offer was that my shiny phone was an “unrecogniseable USB hub that may be malfunctioning”. iTunes had even folded up its usual iPhone parking space as if its own child had never played in its yard. A reboot of the laptop yielded no change. Plugging the iPhone into the power outlet didnt help either. The frozen Apple logo wouldn’t go away. I wondered if the battery could last long enough to drive down to an Apple store in the RV some time this week. It seemed unlikely. I was tired, defeated and sadder than I was the second day of school.

Then a simple search into Google, namely “iphone frozen unrecognizable won’t restart” yielded a wonderful surprise:
Restart a Frozen iPod or iPhone and
My iPod / iPhone won’t mount or update. Bingo!
(Note there are sadly some adult ads on the side that may offend some)

Lots of super simple advice to follow. And after my iphone rebooted a few times and was plugged in and out a few times it finally remembered who it was and what to do next.

Finally I can go to sleep without worrying about having lost a quarter of my brain. Good night all!
