i listen to NPR on the way to work every morning. i love hearing the radio voices talking about current issues and news items. i love feeling educated and cool enough to listen to NPR. i like to pretend that i am making myself smarter and more informed. however, here is a sample of what actually happens when i listen to NPR:
1) yesterday's release of the lockerbie bomber (i just had to look up what he was called) was a big story yesterday afternoon
2) the scottish prime minister? president? guy talked about his reason for release being "mercy and compassion"
3) i become fascinated by how the word "mercy" sound when said in a scottish accent
4) i turn the radio down and spend 10 minutes trying to perfect my scottish accent
5) i remember nothing else from the 30 minutes it was on during my drive
yes, i am, without a doubt, becoming a more intelligent and better informed member of society.
