All day at work I have nothing to do. I spend all day reading the Web for news on the tsunami. I read eyewitness accounts, check out photos, download videos- disaster porn. I notice early on in the morning that the news is playing up that a supermodel survived. Later that night, I read a Web site that has links to naked pictures of her.

When I go home I check the news. The people on Fox News are attacking the U.N. and huffing and puffing over some statement a U.N. diplomat made that he has since apologized for. MSNBC interviews Andrew Weil about health issues. Later on, Joe Scarborough comes on and also piles on the U.N. On Hannity and Colmes, somebody is attacking the Democrats for something related to the disaster. I feel disgusted by Fox but when I notice they have video footage I haven't seen before, I watch in between flipping back and forth to "Charmed." I turn to CNN and see that as the Larry King fill-in interviews experts in tsunami's and humanitarian relief, the CNN ticker breaks the news that Jack White of the White Stripes and Renee Zellwiger have broken up. When a commercial comes on squawking about a new CNN segment in which they followed several Americans as they try and lose weight, I flip to the local news to see what they have to say. It's story after story about it raining here. Apparently, some streets are flooding and there's traffic. A tree branch fell on some electrical wires somewhere and the block loses power. When I see that Comedy Central isn't showing "The Daily Show" at 7, I flip through the channels and upon seeing that nothing is on, I turn the TV off.
