DST, NYT
Wouldn't it be nice if every once in a while we got a day that lasted longer than the standard 24 hours? I shouldn't complain because I have all the time in the world right now (relative to most of my friends, at least). But still somehow the day just doesn't go on long enough. If I could just get a couple more hours to read a book or an extra hour for a nap. If I could get a extension of the sunshine for four hours just once every couple of months. God that would be great.
I want to start reading the newspaper every day. This is a big issue at our house. Drew thinks the newspaper is filthy (the ink grosses him out) and so he says I can't have it on the bed unless I have a huge towel between paper and duvet. Even with the towel, I'm guessing there will be problems. He doesn't understand why I can't just get all my news online. That is what I'm doing now, but I'm personally dissatisfied with it. I don't think the coverage is as broad and as a deep as it is in the national papers (WaPo, NYT, LAT, etc). I'm mostly interested in international stuff, which in my opinion is best found in the NYT. This argument is eerily similar to the one Drew and I had when we got our TiVO. I wanted to record the ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. Drew thought the evening news wasn't a worthy investment of our precious hard drive space. To me, the network evening newscasts are pretty damn informative. I think the whole CNN "news"channel has made people wary of television news, but there's a huge difference between the two oh lord jesus seriously who cares what am I talking about?
Sorry. Okay. So my main problem with subscribing to the paper is that I think it's going to be too expensive and I won't be able to read it every day. I read the Sunday paper now, which can take all day long. I realize the Sunday Times is huge compared to the weekday paper, but still I'm worried that I'll end up surfing Drudge Report every morning while my paper sits outside on the sidewalk.
And yes, Jana, I'm getting the NYT and not the LAT. I personally think the LAT's coverage of national and international stories isn't all that great. And I realize I will be in the dark about what's going on in my city and state, but that's why I'm friends with you, a LAT reader.
