'cause I can't fit it in 140 characters

Just one of those unimportant things I want to say that’d make better sense as a tweet; but I simply can’t make it fit twitter’s 140 limitations.
I saw the CBS line-up and was excited about seeing a rerun of Cold Case (and silly me didn’t view the program description–wanted to be surprised, in case it was an episode I had missed). Well, I had seen that episode. It was the one where the lady was murdered on 10/30/1938 ’cause when the world ended she ran to her new friend and not her hubby.
Anyway, that led me to deciding to listen to the War of the Worlds instead. (I had missed out on finding a radio station playing it this year, and had been wanting to hear it again, anyway.)
Anyway, I say anyway way to much, but, anyway…
…after hearing the show I got a hankering to hit Wikipedia, and read about CBS. Kinda interesting history there…
…and now, just for the fun of it, I’m gonna hit Wikipedia again to see NBC and ABC.
…yeah, I have no clue why I’m sharing any of this.
