Here in Katie’s Head

I heart NPR

Since I became a commuter (love that out-of-town internship), I’ve started listening to NPR on the drive. I never really thought that I’d listen to Marketplace on purpose.

Today on Morning Edition, they continued coverage of Congress’s love-hate relationship with public broadcasting. They mentioned one legislator who suggested that NPR is just commercial-free news for the affluent.

You know, that kinda annoyed me.

Can VH1 ever really go wrong?

I have to confess, I’m really excited about Hogan Knows Best.

Seriously.

Shut up.

It’s not out of *pure* vanity

If you google for Katie, I’m result #18. If you search for katie on Yahoo, I’m #10. (As my referrer logs point out.)

Does this mean Yahoo likes me more or Google just knows more popular Katies?

I’d think, considering Katie’s pretty much the most common name/nickname in my birth year, I’d be much lower due to sheer volume of Katies. The only real effect from being high in the search results is that I get a lot of accidental hits from people looking for porn models named Katie.

Uh, good to know.

My name is Katie and I’m a Coke-aholic.

My boss took me out to lunch. The restaurant had Pepsi, not Coke. Apparently my body knows the difference between the two. It’s punishing me with a migraine.

This was the week I was going to quit drinking Diet Coke. Again. For real this time, maybe. But I think I prefer being a slave to the addiction over the withdrawal.

I miss my Diet Coke.
