Spring 2007 Semester in Review

Posted on by

Well, this is the last week of the spring semester. Looking back, it’s hard to believe how much crap that I managed to get done.

Radio/TV Lab- Clue Me In… 3 episodes, coming back in the fall

Adv. Radio Production- Aircheck, Did a show all semester on Wed. night, Rockumentary of 1977

Adv. TV Production- Directed an acting scene for the Broadcast Performance class, Marketing Video for Good Samaritan Ministries, one episode of Appalachian Diary on Southwest Virginia Economy.

Greg and I are looking ahead to working on our next series idea this summer… all I can say is two words: live drama. What’s that, are we crazy? We may be, but we love to do challenging stuff that has never been done.

More on that in the months to come.

BTW, if you missed “How I Met Your Mother” earlier tonight, it was hilarious! Neil Patrick Harris’ character, Barney, went to The Price is Right. I hear it’ll be up on innertube on cbs.com tomorrow, so I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it.

Not much more to say, looking forward to some relaxation after this week is over.

OMG- An Update!?

Well, not much to talk about lately in this old life.

Work has been the usual stress, I really am growing weary of news photography, all the more clinching that I would rather be in the production side of things… but there aren’t any positions open over on that side so, oh well.

I guess I’m just stuck with the destiny of doing what I don’t want to do in life.

“Clue Me In” is churning, we got one show on tape last weekend and I was under so much rush and stress that I committed mistakes. There’s that damn job causing problems again, having to come straight over from working a 9-4:30 to do “Clue Me In”, it is almost too much… maybe it is too much… but I don’t want to just up and leave my job. I am however planning on leaving the news internship anyway in July. California calls again.

And, btw, be sure to watch Price is Right next Wednesday, front row baby! 🙂

Clue Me In- Take 2

Well, we are going to rehearse again tomorrow, and I have a feeling it will go a lot better than last time.

It has to get better than that maylay of a first rehearsal.

At least we have contestants and prizes to give to them, that’s a start. We may be a cheap show, but something is better than nothing.

Wish me luck everybody!

Well, here’s an update from lovely Norfolk… got so busy out in LA that I hardly had time for an update, even by phone.

Price is Right in person was a blast! It is so much smaller in person than it was on TV, as expected. The show runs so smooth, as expected. Bob looks so much older in person, as expected. Be sure to watch on April 4th, Greg, Chris and I are all in the front row, camera left, next to contestant’s row!

Jeopardy! is a well oiled machine itself, and it was great to see, those shows we saw air June 28th and 29th, a long ways off. So, they’re winding their season down.

It was hard to leave California… for once in a long time, it was a place where I felt like I fit in, like I knew where I was going at all times and what I was doing, and there was always something to do.

We’re going back in August, we’ll make that happen for sure.

We got in Norfolk at 11:00-ish PM local time on Wednesday night, on Thursday, we have seen the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the Downtown Tunnel, the Monitor Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel, and other stuff. We’re planning on visiting Virginia Beach and the US 58 terminus tomorrow, and on Saturday, renting a car (again) and driving up to spend the day in Washington, DC (a last minute decision since we found out it’s just three hours drive away).

All in all, it’s been a good vacation, a nice rest and plenty of discovery, and dont’ worry, we have a lot of pictures, they’ll be posted after the vacation is over… it’s just not the time to try to post anything, too much to do. 😛
