Last week or so, I went to a speed dating thing that was filmed by CNN.

Jesse -- did I miss something? Did you bust up a speed-dating event and get on CNN?

ION, here's a thread at the Democratic Underground forums where people are posting their favorite pictures of the pope: [link]

I know, it sounds cheesy, but some of the pictures, particularly with children, are very sweet.

Ooh, how do you find out when it's gonna be on again? (The Jesse thing, not the Pope thing.)

Oh, I didn't get into the whole thing here? It was supposed to be regular speed-dating, but half the guys had been recruited by CNN for a story on people's impressions of tall vs. short men. So then they interviewed some of us after, and that has apparently been made into a bit on CNN Headline News.

Edit: So I don't know how you know when they'll air it. It was supposed to be a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, but I don't know when that was supposed to air, either.

Holy crap, Jesse -- I actually had Headline News on for the Short Guy clip, and I turned to another channel b/c I thought it was lame and boring (okay, short guys make less money than taller guys -- try having a pair of ovaries), but I even caught a snippet of the speed dating before I turned.

I ALMOST SAW YOU, but I was judgmental and hasty. Darn it! Darn it to heck!

I imagine that the Pope thing is 24/7 right now.

Woot - Illinois won!

I haven't been watching, but they kept showing the score on the crawl at ESPN2 (where I was watching a horse race) and I had to see the end.

Wow. First time Illinois goes to the Final EVER.

JoA: OMG, Cindy! That would have been so good! But you know, I was also saddened that no one will ever call her "Jane" again and if they did -- it would be this bitter bitter thing.

I thought it was lame and boring (okay, short guys make less money than taller guys -- try having a pair of ovaries),

Also? Just because Malcolm Gladwell has it in his new book does not make it news!! Anyway, the whole thing was annoying, because the guys who were most interesting were not actually there to meet people. Eh.

sumi, I know. I thought the same thing (JoA), and somehow, because SNYDER was there, I kept hearing Xander's line from Restless, about being glad he (Snyder) got eaten by a giant snake, in my head. And then I would wish that Adam would get eaten by a giant snake.

Yesterday, in our newspaper's TV section, they teased Joan of Arcadia by saying something like, "Tonight, Joan bleaches her hair, and becomes a vampire slayer," as an April Fool's joke.

And since Adam LOST HIS SOUL!!! I think that was pretty funny.

I watched Joan too. There was part of me that saw it coming, but I'm sad that my beautiful, perfect, unrealistic Adam is gone. But it was almost worth it to have Mrs. Landingham!God comforting Joan.

It was very amusing to see Snyder this week. I hope that they bring him back.

What did you think of the promo? The idea of their being some sort of Anti-Joan bothers me. Plus, the red hoodie thing just reminds me of the guy from the future who comes back and talks to John on "Dead Zone".
