A big [...]

September 25th, 2008

I was listening the This American Life podcast while drinking shade-grown decaf and clutching my NPR bag when I heard the best song in the world: I Go Chop Your Dollar.

Good Morning JVC!

September 4th, 2008

8:30 this morning, I jammed myself into a small theater lobby with a bunch of morning breath sporting, traditional AV journalist. Not a great way to start the morning. Last night, Sony gave me crab legs, beef medallions, with an open bar, but this morning, I get a continental breakfast. Yum.
