“Haven’t you heard that I’m the new cancer?” –Panic! at the Disco-
What a horribly boring Thursday night. I mean, could I be any more lame? I had an interview ‘til 8. I fell asleep from 9 – 10. I’ve been looking for footage of the Crocodile Hunter’s death ever since I woke up. I don't think I wanted to see it anyway, though.///
/// My life is still ridiculously, painfully hectic. I’m getting decent at time management, luckily. I quit The Burr because even though it’s sheisty of me to do, I didn’t want to turn in a story I couldn’t be proud of, & I knew that’s what would happen. Today I went against my personal morals & purchased a bag of Pepperoni Pizza Combos from the Taylor vending machine. I’m opposed to pizza-flavored Combos on principal, because a red paste does NOT equal the taste of a scrumptious pizza. But man, was I hungry.<<<
>>> I’m spending tomorrow night at The Robin Hood Music Bar & Grille to write a piece for Feature Writing… basically I have to approach & interview random drunks. Could that be any more uncomfortable? Kurt said he might come with me so I have a safe haven retreat, you know, for if the drunks become overwhelming…’Keep telling yourself that: ‘I’m a diva…’”

I hope that footage never ever gets out...ever...I would seriously bawl my eyes out if I ever saw it.
my dad used to be a bartender at the robin hood, back in the early 80s. i have his work tshirt.
oh, and HOLY CRAP. you know what i'm talking about.
Apparently the re-opening of the Robin Hood is a HUUUGE deal, so yay for your getting to cover it. When people say to me, "Oh, you work at the Stater... what do you write?" I respond, "Well, I sell ads... but my friend Kate is a writer for the paper and she writes some pretty huge-deal articles... she's on the front page almost every day."
Yay for our names in print, every day. Hooray!
I just found a super cute picture of my parents @ the Robin Hood. My mom looks so stinking young. Probably because she was only 20 at the time, which is almost 4 years younger than I am now!
good luck w/ that paper!! i had a boring thursday as well, except for the fact that i'm getting sick, had 4 classes, but went to 3, and had chapel, which i really wanted to skip, but i was afraid to. and now its 20 til 5am and i'm awake with a headache, and have to get up at 730 at the latest to take a shower that i didn't take yesterday. and then if i'm still feeling like poo i'm going to the walk in clinic after classes. and we had room inspections last night, and i almost failed b/c i didn't have EVERYTHING in a place, what the crap. stupid i tell you, stupid. i hope you have an amazing weekend, and a relaxing one as well.
i'm sure he wouldn't mind. i'll call him and ask, and then i'll give you his contact info if he says yes.
Hey I got your message the other day....sorry i never returned the call...life is quite hectic at the moment! Working life is so different than school....not better or worse, just different! But, yes, I knew about Joanie's dad. And it totally sucks. Give me a call when you make it to D.C. I love it here. Sounds like Kent is treating you well--enjoy it!
