I like to believe that I’m very sensitive to people’s feelings and do my best not to offend anyone. I’m very, very unhappy when I hear people saying things I find prejudiced or downright bigoted. Therefore, it’s quite odd that I find Reno 911 funny. They say some really un-PC, crude things, but I find myself laughing out loud, snorting even.
On the opposite end of the witty, intelligent spectrum is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I think Jon is brilliant. I love hearing his hilarious take on the daily news. I’m a journalist by trade and, honestly, The Daily Show does a better job of presenting news than some “actual” news programs. Don’t even get me started on how pathetic I think news coverage is these days. I’ve got to think there’s something more important to cover than the plethora of celebrity trials in California.
Manuscript update: Finished Chapter 3 of the new young adult manuscript this morning. Tomorrow, I’ll begin revising and working on a synopsis. Oh, the joy!

Thanks for the congrats on Ch. 3. I just went back through the first three chapters, and it’s always nice when you can read it and go, “Hey, not half bad” rather than “What a load of crap.”
