Word of the Day

Adoricious - The quality of being able to be adored. Used in place of 'adorable' which often tends to imply cuteness as opposed to the ability to be adored. Useful when subject or a quality of the subject is endearing, but not necessarily cute.

It's Friday! Of course, that pretty much only means that tomorrow is going to be a horrible radio day with infomercials for vitamins and supplements. Infomercials on TV as well.

I can't say that TV and radio have had much to offer today either. It's been non-stop coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith at the age of 39. I can't help but feel bad about the whole thing, this media circus circling around like a bunch of vultures. I guess she pretty much lived and breathed and craved the limelight. She's got it in spades right now. How sad that no-one loved this woman enough to save her...even if it meant saving her from herself.
