finals and such

So, I might not have a whole bunch blog posts for awhile. Finals are this week. I have one Tuesday morning at 7:50 am and three on Friday at 7:50, noon, and 5:50. I wont be going home from school early at all, but I also have some time to waste/study until Friday. The last issue of the Daily Egyptian for the semester is Tuesday, followed by a Semester in Photos issue on Wednesday. I don't know what pictures they're going to use for the SiP, but I hope they use a couple of mine.

My only assignment this week was the Southern Illinois Children's Choir performing at Shryock Auditorium at 3 pm on Saturday, right about the time the Salukis were starting their last football game of the season, a loss against Deleware 17-20, just one win away from the championship.

So I may have a few posts here and there, but I will probably keep it pretty lax until I start up at the Hutchinson News in Kansas next semester!

my favorite toys

JRNL 310 Project

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Here's a short, seemingly pointless video I put together in about 3 hours today for my JRNL 310 class. It couldnt be any longer than 60 seconds, and it had to be about my beat for the semester, which is the library, so It couldn't really be all that in-depth. It's just to prove that I know how to make MULTIMEDIA!

Also I met these fun people at a toy store when I was there getting pictures for a story about recalled toys. Their names are Sam and Suzanne Cox and they own the store "My Favorite Toys" in the University Mall in Carbondale. They kept showing me all these new toys they have and they were so excited about them and it was funny and I bought something for Amber. She's not going to get it forever though because she won't come visit me this weekend.

I have to ship some senior pictures to the Minors in Effingham and I have to finish working on Amber's brother's and cousin's pictures, so I think I'm going to do that now.

kk bye

mayors and mayhem

Here's some interesting images from last week that I never really posted. This one is Carbondale Mayor Brad Cole talking to City Manager Jeff Doherty at a special city council meeting they called at Alongi's Italian Restaurant at University Mall where they ate lots of food and loosely talked about random things and got gift baskets. They were all dressed up and I was waltzing around in a sweatshirt and pullaway workout pants lol. It's so amusing to see old people think they're important!

This is AMANDA! For real, I was on a gameshow thing at the WSIU studios where the reporting and copy editing classes competed in a quizbowl kinda thing where we had to find AP stylebook errors in articles and advertisements and hit our little buzzer things and answer and it was all video taped in the fancy studio and we had clip-on microphones and we, Oliver Witte's class, totally blew away Wendy Weinhold's class 570-270, and then we faced Eric Fidler's copy editing class, and finding errors is like all they do, but luckily only one of them showed up and a guy from wendy's class joined him so it was us four on the two of them and we barely took the lead in the end and won like 370-330 or something like that. It was vicious, but WE WERE CHAMPIONS! and we each won free specialty pizzas and 2-liter sodas from Papa John's.
This one's more recent. In fact, it's like 7 hours old. I took it while I was leaving work for the first time and there was a pretty fiery sunset behind the communications building and I happened to have a tripod with me so I took some long exposures like this. Nothing all that awesome, but it's the thought that counts. It was ISO 100 for 10 seconds or something at like f/32 so you can see assloads of gross sensor dust all over the image, all in focus and dark, too.

Also, this is a picture of Dave Magallanes that I found on my computer! He's a photographer turned accountant who lives in Texas and hates his best friend Tom and never comes to visit him at SIU. Plus, he's single!

I took some pictures at a Delta Xi Phi Race & Reconciliation Panel today! What's that you say? Well, they had a guy speak and show a presentation about racism and stereotypes and there was a panel of people who talked about racism stuff and discussed it with the audience and it was pretty interesting and entertaining. I don't have those pictures though, because theyre on my camera and I dont feel like getting them off.

Also, anyone who owns THE OFFICE season 2 on DVD should go to the deleted scenes on disc 3 and watch the scenes for the 3rd episode and watch Dwight shoot out a window in the warehouse with his spud gun, cuz it made me laugh so hard I died.

That is all.

nothing

Please take a moment to view this important public service announcement.



I haven't been blogging much. It's the end of the school year and I've been studying studying studying for all those exams and turning in revisions of my papers and working extra hard on lots of productive activities! LOL YEAH RIGHT! Actually I've just been playing Call of Duty 4 so much I can barely see straight anymore! It's great, I don't even have to go out! I have a few assignments this week and I need to turn in a video Tuesday and finish a paper for Tuesday, so hopefully I'll have some things to post. I can't believe it's only 11:22, I feel like its 3 in the morning. I guess that's what happens when it rains all day and you fill up on Irish Creme and rank up on COD4 10 times before going to sleep.

Also, I'm working on senior pictures. and reading a book. and reading another book. and recording some music for video. and planning a trip to Cairo this week to record audio.

That's it.
