screw it
you know what? screw it. i'm not reading the news anymore. i'm not going to read political blogs that tell me what's going on in the world. dan rather and peter jennings -- adios. i may make an exception every once in a while for the daily show, but only because i need my daily dose of brilliant snark.
but that's it. i'm cutting myself off from the world and keeping myself completely uninformed of any reality. i don't want to hear anything more about the shitbomb that's going down in iraq. i'm not going to think about the fact that massive terror attacks might occur in rome this weekend. innocent japanese civilians in iraq held hostage who will probably be murdered? LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
no. i'm going to concentrate solely on things such as the correct pronunciation of bruschetta, the wonders of scientology, celebrity fashion, and maybe taking on a fulltime job of reviewing reality tv crap. though that's not really different from 99% of the content in this blog. but that's okay. that's my entire worldview now.
as far as i'm concerned, outside of my front door exist only puppies, kittens, rainbows, daisies, and maybe a unicorn or two. that i can ride on to the store to buy some really good chocolate and a whole hell of a lot of alcohol. cause i've got a feeling i'm going to be drinking quite a bit in the months to come.

what is the correct pronunciation of bruschetta? I'm guessing it's the hard 'ch'.
yup, it's something along the lines of brooskettah. although i'll note that in certain dialects of italy, esp. the south, the sch is sometimes soft.
The wrong prouncounciation is the common "broo-shhetta" But the "broo-sketta" is closer but not entierly correct either. It is "broossh-ke-ta". the combination of sc in italian is pronunced as the "ssh" in english and the ch together is pronounced as the k(think of zucchini, pinocchio, chianti The italian alphebet doesn't have a k, so it is the combination of the ch that makes the k sound.
