And, me, I like the cutesy--or at least I like the pop references and whatnot which seem to bother you guys.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm actually a little startled at how vehemently I don't like cute or pop references in my news. I guess I give them a pass on weekends because those shows have always seemed more likely to contain soft news bits.
And I never liked the birthday thing, ever, so this is just another black mark against them.

I've just been vaguely annoyed with NPR for the past year or so (mostly because they are my prime source for news and the news isn't too my liking most of the time) and willing to latch on to any detail and hate it. Except Will Shortz. He's delightful.
It's a darn shame that the CD player part of my alarm clock has ceased to work.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
For example, if I'm looking for a particular line in a book, I know whether it's on the left, or right, or top/middle/bottom of a page. I can usually see it, and the line breaks in my head. Sometimes, I can see the whole page, although not all the words.
This is also me.
Yup, me too. I was trying to find a passage in a book recently, and I didn't remember where in the book it came but I did know it was near the top of a left-side page.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like pop references and whatnot! In their proper place.

Not during actual news stories, sure. But in bumpers, like birthday announcements or in headlines to light features, bring on the snark, I say.

OMG I think I want to do work today less than I've ever wanted to do work in my life. It physically hurts me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanna go home!

When I'm looking for something I've read, I always flip through looking only in the part of the page where I remember seeing it. It usually works..
I couldn't tell you any details of what the person I was talking to was wearing, or give a good description, though.
Memory is weird.
