I am really tired. lol.
J’s been off at work, and apparently I can’t sleep if I’m by myself in the apt anymore. Fun! So I’ve been staying up late and getting up at my normal time for work, and I can’t WAIT until the weekend. I’m hoping to catch up on sleep tomorrow evening, but he’ll be back Sunday, so hopefully I’ll be back to normal then.

So, this probably won’t make a lot of sense, considering how tired I am… but I’m feeling the need to voice an opinion. And to hear keys clicking on a keyboard. This post will probably be extra ramble-y and make very little sense. You’ve been warned, lol.

I am sad for the people in Haiti. I hope for the best for them. Now that I live in California, earthquakes are “real.” I’ve been through my fair share of them, but they’re just little ones. I’ve been very fortunate not to have been through a Big One, but the threat is always there. Every week, there’s something on the news about “THE BIG ONE” and preparedness. I know times are tough for everyone, but we live in one of the richest countries in the world, if not THE richest country in the world. I donated via text. The fact that we can say that … that we can just send a text message, and there! donation made! THat said a lot. I know it’s only $10, but every $10 helps, and the fact that the Red Cross has raised over $4 million dollars just from text donations speaks volumes. If you haven’t yet, just text ‘Haiti‘ to 90999, reply to the message you receive with “yes”, and your $10 donation will just be added to your next phone bill. Easy peasy! Go help some people!

I know I’ve been pretty silent over here, but because I’ve been staying up late, I’ve gotten my share of Late Night viewing. I grew up watching NBC. We always watched shows that were on NBC… my family’s favorite news programs always seemed to be on NBC, and, in my era, Johnny Carson was on NBC. Obviously when I was little, I didn’t stay up and watch the Tonight Show. When I got a little older, though, I did. It was a little easier when I lived in the Central Time Zone, because shows came on earlier. LOL

I remember when Jay got the Tonight Show. I always enjoyed the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno. Headlines gave me a reason to look forward to Monday nights, and after an episode of Jaywalking (or some similar segment between the monologue and the first guest) where Jay gave a guy in a really crappy car money out of his own pocket for gas or a taxi or something, I always thought he was a nice guy. I was proud to watch the show, and I just liked him as a person. My parents took a trip to Las Vegas and LA a few years ago. They were driving around and somehow ended up outside of Jay’s house. I think it was one of those Maps of the Stars Homes kinda things, but either way… they were looking around, and Jay happened to be leaving. He stopped to talk to them and took pictures with them. It was the highlight of their entire trip!

Obviously, I am not in the middle of the whole Late Night War thing that’s going on, but it seems to me like Conan’s getting screwed by Jay. Or NBC. Or both. I think it sucks. I think the stupid execs have put everyone in a crappy place, and I am supremely pissed at Jay for taking back the Tonight Show. If this really happens, I will not be watching the Tonight Show ever again, at least while Jay’s on. I’m sure my not watching won’t mean anything in the big picture, but it makes me feel like I’m doing something. I mean, I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of people called “I’m with CoCo” lol. I can’t be the only one. Letterman’s been pretty funny lately. Honestly, we’ve been usually watching Letterman because we watch the shows we watch are on CBS. We watch the news on CBS, and then it’s Letterman time. When I have time, I catch Conan on Hulu.

Mostly, I”m mad that they made him move his whole family and staff across the entire country just to say “SUCKER!” There are families and lives at stake here, and I think the powers that be at NBC (hey! that rhymes!) are being really unfair.

NBC, you suck.
