BBC for Lunch

So I'm on lunch and sitting in front of my work computer. I eat with the exuberant notion that the next 20 minutes are mine, all mine. Yet, I have nothing to do.

Must...not...read...work...emails....Don't...answer...phone....Don't!

I have ZERO hobbies.

My homepage at work is BBC News, but it's sooooo depressing. Today's headlines are:
'Witches' burnt to death in Kenya
South Africa leader orders army to deploy
Colombian gunman 'takes hostages.' More soon.

Yeah, goes splendid with tomato soup!

If I go to Yahoo! - which, honestly, I go to before BBC - I'd have to force myself to read the American Idol review (apparently David Archuletta is now called Archie??) or the Daily News article announcing the (un-)anticipated arrival of Fleet Week.

Am I wrong to assume that most people have go-to sites they read daily? I don't know, Boating Times online or PerezHilton.com or Daily Recipes. I don't really care enough, I guess.
