I am sooooo out of touch...
Brief story:
I was at the grocery store today.
While I bathed in the warmth of florescent lights--mind entranced by the rhythmic BEEP.....BEEP.....BEEP.....of the cashier's barcode scanner--I perused the impulse-buy library that's so conveniently placed next to the checkout counter.
Usually, nothing catches my conscious eye..."LOSE WEIGHT! No diet or exercise..in 3 hours!" "TomKat's baby Suri...is she a hoax?"....Oprah's O magazine had something to say about how we treat our partners in a relationship...and then I see: "Sharon is dead!"
Suddenly, I snapped out of it, and I though, "Oh my GOD! Ariel Sharon is dead?!? How can this be?...I just read the news a few hours ago...or...maybe he was already dead and I'm thinking of another controversial leader on the brink of expiring...OR maybe.....wait, hold on a second...."
Upon closer inspection of my choice of informational media, I saw that I was actually reading the cover of a Soap Opera digest. Apparently, Sharon from TV's "Young and the Restless" is dead...or dying...or missing and presumed dead.
I honestly can't say I investigated any further.
My fears quelled, I laughed a bit and realized that I really should be watching more TV if I expect to keep up with the events that surround my life.

well ... just so you know...sharon is still alive... but they still can't find her... she's being held captive in a hidden location... if Nick can't find the reliquary soon, then the bad guys will kill her... and of course i only know this because Y&R comes on immediately after The Price Is Right... and i often forget to change the channel before getting sucked into the drama of it all...
But I mean, c'mon...who can resist Bob Barker's charm?

See, I was surprised recently to learn that Arial Sharon was STILL ALIVE...
But that all depends on your views of vegitative states.
