CNN & Awesomeness

Those 2 terms don't go together: CNN annoys me so much. In the mornings Liz and I tend to turn on the TV to find out what the weather is going to be like for the day (it helps to then work out whether to take a heavy jacket etc). Once the weather is over (it is on it's own channel) we turn on CNN to see if anything big is happening in the world.

I can't take CNN in the mornings anymore.

CNN break their morning show into half hour segments. A typical half hour segment will cover 3 topics. They start off with the war in Afghanistan. They talk about that for 10 minutes. After commercial they come back to tell everyone about how we're all going to die from H1N1 for 10 minutes. More commercials are followed by 10 minutes about health care reform. At the end of the third segment, they announce "Next half hour we will be bringing the latest on the war in Afghanistan, what you need to know about H1N1 and developments on health care reform". Last week was slightly more bearable because Tiger Woods slept around so some of the stories on health care reform were about him instead.

But enough about something annoying - time to move on to something awesome. I'll pose a rhetorical question: how awesome is Lego??? Lego, sometimes referred to in the USA as "Legos" (I shudder just typing it) is incredibly awesome. Barbara, Liz's aunt, got be some Lego for my birthday, and I got some spare time to put it together. They are small battle sets, some droids versus some clones. The clones are my favorites, I have posted some photos of them with their walker. There is also a picture of the Assassin droids that they would take out.

The plan is to name the clones; like they do in Star Wars The Clone Wars. I'm leaning towards naming one of them "Stench". I like taking photos of the Lego and clones, so I might take some more photos of them in the near future.
