When things come together.
Last night was a little crazy at work, since Andrew Garver and Mimi Smith were found [video link]. Everyone jumped into 'breaking news mode' as we got the story together. Sometimes a story will break and we are scarcely ready for it, but manage to pull it together for the show. But, on some rare occasions, we have a plan in place and are totally ahead of the game. It sounds bad, but many stations already had a Reagan obit story ready to go - ours was on a shelf for 2 months prior to his death. It was nice to hear, "they found Mimi Smith!" and we are able to go, "Here's the 'in case they find Mimi Smith tape'!"

Our anchorwoman, Shauna Parsons was recently awarded "Most Porkable Newscaster" by the Portland Mercury. It was a nice article - too bad they didn't spell her name right.
Historic Tale Construction Kit
It's been around forever [link], but many people pass over it in favor of making fake church signs. Basically, you can make your own 'historic tale', and a few weeks ago [via LYD] I spotted someone's brilliant rendition of that damn milkshake song, called "My milkshake bringeth all thy gentlefolk to thy yard." So last night, with a few minutes to spare, I created my own hip-hop historical tale [from Nelly's Hot in Here], titled: "Hot in Thee."
Of course, last night as I was making "Get thee festival started" some guy from Master Control [a dark electronic bat cave] walked by and got all excited because he thought I was interested in the Bayeaux Tapestry like him, but then I explained to him what I was doing, and he looked really disappointed.
Other stuff:
The superhero revolution is beginning. They have found the son of Jor-el in Germany [link].
Totally wrong. Some guy is counting down the days until Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter) is legal. While it is a little sick, I noticed that it's completely FAKE. The photo was stolen from The Onion. I remember it because it looks EXACTLY like an angry guy at work, and now I'm really gonna piss him off with this.
Briteny's mom runs over a photographer. Look at the photo of him laying on the ground as they draw a chalk outline (which I thought was reserved for dead people). You can see the dollar signs in his eyes.
If I were to make an Amazon wish list. This would definitely be on it.
