wendyzskiI always like watching the local news on major holidays. It's sort of a cross between seeing the understudy take the stage and watching the inmates take over the asylum!
All the anchors and reporters you usually see have enough seniority to take the day off, so you get the eager young space cadets. They aren't terribly polished, and there are usually a lot of technical issues, but it's fun to watch nonetheless. There are mispronounced names and strange camera angles, but everyone is pretty good humored about it. Somehow it seems more genuine than the slickly produced evening news we see most of the time.
Today is kind of grey and cold out - we may see either rain or flurries by evening. But I'm holed up with a variety of yummies and the rest of my LOTR marathon. I had pie for breakfast, and Pepper and I are sharing a pot of green tea. I think she'd rather have the pie.
