As long as I'm on a pop culture ranting binge - maybe somebody can explain what some of this means.  I'd settle for a brief indication of whether or not it's all complimentary or if there's anything in the list I should be offended by!

And how exactly do I work this into my daily routine?

"Hi, how are you today?"

"Fine thanks - the thrill from my Sea Garden Request more than makes up for the slight misgivings associated with an Elven Blood Invitation!"

However, unlike the author of a recent editorial (in another publication) regarding Facebook, I have to express my appreciation of the FB environment.  In just the last couple of days, I've coordinated a date with festival colleagues, seen new baby pictures from the other coast, secured a venue for an event via IM, promoted screenings through a group list, chatted with a half dozen close friends, and left snarky comments for a half dozen others, all from my recliner.  And how can I fault a medium that allows me to know immediately when a friend has the misfortune to see Twilight at the theater? 

On the downside, I think Blagojevich: The Musical! may finally be dead - I had only posted the lyrics for four songs before he was impeached and the thrill was lost.  So, onto the next cyber-project ... well, after I determine the difference beween a Superpoke! Request and a Superpoke! Invitation.
