How did this happen? My sweet little girl hardly paid attention to the characters on “Sesame Street” as recently as Friday. Today, she’s an addict. At dinner she rubbed her tiny little fingers together and chanted, “Em-o, Em-o, Em-o.” Rockford is giving her a bath right now, and I can hear her up there: “Em-o, Em-o, Em-o.” Which is cute, but I fear for our future. Please, friends and family, if you love me, don’t give her one of these.

The stuff that didn’t fit elsewhere.
The Apple Yogurt Shuffle
Dear iPod,
You were doing such a nice job on the shuffle. It was so cohesive. Then you played Madlib. What’s up with that? Whatever, iPod. But besides that little slip-up, you’re doing really nice work this morning. I might even burn this one. Sans the Madlib. It just doesn’t fit. I really don’t know what you were thinking with that one. But anyway, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Nichole

Nine reasons we do not like “The Nine”
1. Kathryn’s hair.
2. Nothing ever happens. I came for the bank robbery story. I’m getting “blah, blah, blah.”
3. Everytime it starts, I have 167 hours until the next episode of “Lost.”
4. Lizzie won’t stop making that face. Ugh.
5. The bad guys had so much time to leave. Why are they so stupid? Why?
6. Joe without Brian? No thank you.
7. Rockford doesn’t care for bizzaro Michael J. Fox.
8. Do lawyers have conflict-of-interest rules? Should Kathryn’s boyfriend be on this case? Huh? I need some answers.*
9. Plot lacks polar bears.
*I don’t need any answers, really. I’m done with this show.
