Week from Hell: Projects, Fires and Worry! Oh my!

So I went to the station, fully prepared that I was on Smart Decision. I accepted this, and I also figured I would stay in the Blue Room the entire time, just in case Spencer did a live shot from the newsroom (HA! See, I can have some fun with this ban-thing!). What I didn't know was that a house exploded near East Campus, so that pretty much was a hectic scene. Then, another fire...this time in Fulton. So me and Jess Daley hit the Internet hard, looking for phone numbers of residents to see what it was like, what they saw, and where it was. I finally won the battle of finding out the apartment complex's name (Deerhoof), thanks to a woman behind the fire. Anyway, the fire was contained, and a lot of hooplah for nothing, but Sean McGarvey said I earned my reporter's wings by hitting the phones...whatever the hell that means. So by the time all that excitement died down, it was almost show time, and Cate needed help writing scripts and posting images and video, so I pretty much did KOMU work again. Didn't really mind, and I can't say next week is going to be very exciting. Friday before Spring Break? Don't think so.

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

My girlfriend came in this weekend. Good to see her again. She's on her Spring Break, and I probably won't see her until I graduate, so it's good to have some quality time together.

Saw Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from Full House) at Deja Vu last night. Can't say he was all that great. Had some funny stuff, but after a while, it was like, 'OK, you do goofy sounds...let's move on.' But he didn't. It was OK. If I had to grade his act, I'd give him a C.
