KOMU + Miss USA

Working this week was about the same as any ordinary night. Everything from the 6 was posted on time, so by the time my shift actually began, there was nothing to do. Missouri headlines were already checked, so I figured with some free time, I would work on my e-Portfolio and check in to see how Candice did in Vegas. We also had passionate arguments about if some contestant's breasts were fake or not or if Stacey was in attendance. Anyway, Candice finished in sixth, apparently, and we did not see Stacey holding up a sign saying, "I'M HER BOSS". Too bad.

But I got six of my stories transferred from Vimeo to my website, although the sixth one will not be allowed to play. I'm not sure why, but I'm happy as hell I got it up in time so any prospective employers would like to see my work.

But doing the station work wasn't bad. I edited a couple stories on a laptop at the Producer's Pod, but that thing was evil. It would skip line sin mid sentence. I ended up with sentences like "The new animal trin Jefferson City isuck has arrived..." Just frustrating stuff like that. But we got everything edited, with images. Everything was up by 10:30, Cate's goal. It was a good shift in all.

FANTASY SPORTS NEWS

I did end up losing my Fantasy Hockey final by a score of 11-2. I was just wiped on Sunday. Everything Kennedy needed to catch up to me he got. Short-handed points? Three. Game-winning goals? Two. Save percentage? A shut-out and giving up on goal on 35 shots will help that. Oh well. I'll take second place.

I did lose my first week of Baseball, but I'm up this week huge, and I should coast to a victory. SCW Hates Chicks didn't know what to expect. A big day by Jeff Francouer yesterday (3/5, 2 HR, 7 RBI and 9) helped me big time. Also, John Smoltz's 6 innings of one-run ball is a good outing for someone who started the year on the DL.

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

My relationship is so jacked up. I never know who I'm dating half the time. It's like she's bipolar. She accuses me of not keeping promises when I've never made that promise to begin with. Case in point: "You said you would drive up to Dayton and see me this month."
- 1.) I never made that promise. I said I would like to, and if I could I would. But she hears what she wants sometimes. And I'm always the bad guy because I don't keep the promises I never made. Go figure.
- 2.) I' drove to Dayton last semester. And it cost me almost $150 to get there and back. That was before this $3.19 a gallon heist we have now. And in the East, it's almost $3.40 a gallon. I can't afford it. I'm sorry I'm not loaded. She thinks it's nothing for me to drive eight hours one way to see her for a day and a half. Well, with a capstone project, investigative reporting, numerous papers and projects, not to mention my station shifts, it makes driving a third of a day a little difficult.

LINE/LYRIC OF THE WEEK

I watched Vh1's "I love the 80s: 3D" last week. In it was 'Rocky IV', home to some of the greatest lines of all time.

"If he dies, he dies."
"I will break you."
"You will lose."
