Wes is walking to the bathroom to go brush his teeth and then he will walk back to go to sleep in his bed...

OK. For the record, Facebook status updates are now officially out of control. Why do some people feel it is necessary to share the most mundane details about their lives? You're sitting on your couch watching TV waiting for CSI to come on? You're off to pick up the kids from school? That's fascinating! It is also so utterly boring and inconsequential that I want to poke myself in the eye for reading it. I much prefer updates that shock and titillate. Example: "John has recently been diagnosed with herpes." Now THAT'S news worth reading.

Here's another kind of update post that is annoying: the brag post. "Mary just landed in Cabo where it's 80 degrees. She'll be spending the next 3 weeks sipping margaritas poolside." And then two weeks later: "Mary just got back from St. Moritz... the powder was deep and the après ski dining was fabulous!!!" Are you eff-ing kidding me? Do you really want people to hate you that much? I enjoy vacation as much as the next person, but you've got to show at least a little tact!
