Food Network

What a great network. The Food Network is one of my favorite thing to turn on when flipping through channels. They somehow manage to make everything look so delicious and make me miserable for not having it. It's really a bittersweet experience to watch this channel. One of my favorite shows is Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis. Not only does the food look amazing (who doesn't like Italian food) but Giada doesn't look so bad herself. Besides possibly being one of the reasons for America's obesity problem, the Food Network is one of televisions greatest accomplishments.

I got a fever.. and the only prescription..not cowbell.


























The recent uproar of the swine flu has caused much discussion and panic throughout the world. 
The media has been all over this issue. Every channel you switch to, swine flu is usually the discussion. Hospitals have been flooded with people in fear they might have the swine flu because of symptoms similar to that of a cold. This disease has killed already, but it seems like the severity of this flu is being exaggerated. The regular flu kills people every year, and there are people with the swine flu right now in fine condition. While it is, no doubt, a serious issue, the media seems to be blowing it out of proportion and causing a fear for everyone to believe they have this swine flu because they have a cough or runny nose. Although the media is putting everyone on high alert for this flu, I guess in the end you're better safe than sorry.
