Posting

I haven't posted in quite some time, cause truthfully, it's worthless when I don't have anything to say. The last week or so has been nuts, as most of you can probably relate with. You know about the week before finals. It's intense. I am mostly done with school. I will have my last final on Tuesday, which should be sweet. I'll have the rest of the week to get out of here. Next Sunday, I have a triathlon in Memphis that I am certainly not ready for. After that, I can go home on my time, which I am totally stoked about. Home will be awesome. I am upset about not being able to watch Cards games on the tube, and my internet will not be good enough to follow the games a whole lot. But there is frisbee to play, softball to play, lawns to mow, children to teach, and video to shoot, mountains to hike, and bikes to ride. That is my summer. Aren't you pumped? Me too.

Cardinals

The Cards are beginning to think they're a football team, only showing up to the ball park on Sundays. During the past three Sundays, the Cards have logged 32 runs, including yesterday's extra innings 12-9 win over the Cubbies. Scott Rolen was definitely MVP of the game yesterday, going 5-6 with 1 homer, 1 triple, and 3 singles. He also logged 3 RBIs and 3 runs. Quite a statbuilding day. I'm waiting for Mr. Molina's bat to start cracking once again. During the game yesterday, they were saying that Yadi had the best batting average on the team during spring training. Who'dathunkit? That's crazy. Yadi is my hero. The Cardinals offense will hopefully be getting some relief soon, as outfielder Juan Encarnacion has started his comeback rehab. Carp is also starting his comeback, which will be huge. I think it's about turnaround time.

Week 12 Snapshot

Another week has come and we have a new snapshot courtesy of the office of Mr. Erik Click. How exciting is that? First and foremost, the best information on the snapshot is that at the Lindenleader Banquet, which will be held tomorrow, will feature quite a menu, not the least of which is Au Gratin potatos and Mixed Fruit Salad. Congradulations to all you LindenLeaders out there. In other news, a new Lindenwood night at Busch Stadium coming up on May 4. Tickets are on sale through today in Mr. Tool's office, so go getyasome. The Friendship Cup is coming to a close. Most of the rest of the snapshot covers the goings on for Spring Fling. More later.

Bike racing and the rest of the semester

I had 3 bike races this weekend in and near Indianapolis, Indiana. I didn't do so hot, but it's cool. I tried hard. For the rest of the semester, I have several large projects to complete. In this great electronic resourses class, I need to complete my web pages. For my TV production class, I have my studio shoot for my TV talk show on Tuesday. In that I'm bringing in Marhanka, and we're promoting the bicycling team, which should be pretty cool. Today in my editing class I'm going to be required to present a clip from a movie that has some interesting editing techniques and explain why it's unique. I haven't chosen a clip yet, so I'm pretty stressed. You can understand. For Junior Sem, I need to do my interview with a communications professional and do a small write up on it. I'm pumped. The Cards are finally doing something good which is cool. Can't wait for summer. I want a brat. And some softball. And some broads.

2007 Lindys

The third annual Lindys awards show was held last night in the TV Studio with a healthy amount of success. Although we had a few problems in production of the show, overall, it went pretty well. I would like to extend my congradulations to all of my award winning colleagues for their accomplishments in Communications prowess. Jacob I'm proud of your LPS Roundup, and I know you really did do it. And your Fiction writing award. You're t he man. TJ, nice moves in all of your awards, especially your best in show. Well deserved. You're the man. If that avid has some compatibility issues with that mac of yours, I will be a nice guy and take it off of your hands for you. Brad, I'm proud of your music video. Good work. If someone else who won or was nominated for an award stumbles across this, I'm sorry I didn't mention you, but congratulations. Until next year. I'm pumped.

Where has the age of Sitcoms gone?

Reality TV is a joke. When did people stop liking sitcoms enough to have this movement of Reality TV? I watch an occasional American Idol when they're looking for the people to go on the show, just because it's hilarious when people that suck really bad but think they can sing, and get upset when they get outed. I watched the Apprenitce a couple weeks ago, which has led me to lose a fair amount of respect for Donald Trump. The only other shows on TV it seems are the CSI/Law and Order type shows, which do have some entertainment value to me, and seem like its a growing genre which should succeed. I miss the times of Sitcoms on every channel, and I find myself watching reruns of Seinfeld, Home Improvement, King of Queens, Yes Dear, and the like. As far as I can tell, the only shiny spot on television today is My Name is Earl, which is hilarious. I have to cut this short. I have places to be and people to see and things to do and stories to hear and food to eat.
