The Only Regular Friday Night

So I got to do another KOMU shift. It's getting a little boring to be honest. If it weren't for the fresh crop of B2-ers then it would flat-out suck. Kyle was there for Cate and Carly for Josh. I felt like my best friends left me behind at the mall. Oh well. It's weird to think I won't be doing this for much longer, but I know that what I've learned will help me out wherever I end up.

Just thank God no one tried to die on me this week. I couldn't have handled it twice in a row.

I was a bit late, but only because I had to shoot my Sports story this week. Went to Mexico and back and was only five minutes late. Not that it mattered. Jessica and Zimmerman were in the Blue Room when I arrived, since everything was edited. So basically, I was working for the station for eight hours with no money to show for it. I even had to use my car to shoot, so I hope Stacey reimburses me for that.

Spent more time on YouTube since nothing was approved until 9:30. No joke. Either Jim is slow or these kids have trouble writing. Now, I was not perfect when I first started, but I knew enough to start writing when I got back. I mean, c'mon. 20 minutes to voice and edit a package, plus apply make-up if you're live? No way. No wonder Ashton's so stressed.

FANTASY SPORTS NEWS

So Braden Looper has a shutout through seven innings and LaRussa benches him. End result? Izzy blows it, Braden get a ND, and my week is shot. My offense isn't producing for anything, and when something good happens, my opponent gets three of them. At least Padilla threw a CG shutout. Now I might stand a chance in the pitching categories.

The following players are pissing me off right now: Ryan Howard, Rick Ankiel, Carlos Beltran and Ryan Zimmerman. Seriously guys. Get it together!!

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

I love Sports. It's so freeing. How free, you ask? I used a clip from 'Bull Durham' in my story. You read right. How many times was I able to do that for General Assignment? Never. I only have three hours to write and edit. I can't be that creative. But when I have a week to think about how I'm going to go about it, I get these wonderful ideas.

I also shot the MU softball game today. At least the first inning. Because that's when the umps got together and called the game due to rain. Whatever. I thought shooting a game would be fun, but balancing a new camera, an umbrella and trying to zoom in on action is extremely difficult, especially when umbrellas aren't allowed

LINE/LYRIC OF THE WEEK

Watched 'Pulp Fiction' over the week-end. Since you said language isn't a big issue, I feel OK with posting this. Because every other line from that film contains some form of obscenity.

"I'm prepared to scour the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a nigger waiting in a bowl of rice, ready to pop a cap in his ass."
