I am getting sick. I can feel it in my throat and of course you can only ever get sick when you have a four day weekend coming up.
The following are just a few things that have been rattling around in my (delirious) head.
1. Steve Jobs Biography
I have no comment on the content of the book but find the cover photo disturbing.
Am I the only one who thinks you must really like yourself to pose as the thinker with a close-up of your head on the cover of a book?
2. Bank of America.
As if I didn’t feel guilty enough that I have yet to change to a local bank or credit union, Bank of America announces a new fee for those who use their debit cards of $5 a month. $5 a month?! No thanks. This is the impetus I need to move my money to a local bank/credit union. Thank you Bank of America for forcing me to do the right thing.
3. Amanda Knox
I have not followed this case too closely but have a read a handful of articles over the years. I am not a legal expert but she seemed innocent and I saw no compelling evidence to the contrary. Luckily, the Italian Justice System allows appeals that retry the entire case so this young woman is able to move on with her life. It will be interesting to see what she does in the upcoming months. I suspect Barbara Walters and a book deal.
The Neverending Nightmare of Amanda Knox from RollingStone.
4. The Lying Game
This is not a rant but my newest celebrity crush plays Ethan Whitehorse on The Lying Game. Isn’t he smoking hot?
What random things are rattling around in your head?
That Ethan dude looks like a young Johnny Depp! Wow.

I know, was glad to read on his IMDB that he is 28 and not under 18 like he plays on TV.

I did not see that about BoA. I wonder if that’s still the case if you have direct deposit? Because I’m not paying $60 a year to use a debit card, that’s for sure.

I think it might be for all accounts but not sure of the details yet. It is a pretty crappy thing to do to their customers.

I was so happy to see Amanda Knox set free, it never really added up to guilty for me. and that is a handsome yummy man!

Me too. Can you imagine being in jail for four years? Awful.

BOA’s new fee really ticked me off too. I’ll be switching in the next week or two. How are you planning to choose a local credit union? I’m not sure how I’ll be picking a new bank yet.

A great resource is:

You can put your zip code in and find a local bank/credit union.

I totally think BOA is biting themselves in the butt.
How crazy that like a few days before Steve Job passes away you post the picture that is now on everything! At first I thought it was kind of weird but I am starting to like it!

I know! My husband and a coworker have been bugging me that I picked on someone and then they died.
The picture still bothers me no matter how many times I see it.
