I’m falling down on the bloggin’ thang. I was doing so well too. <\/p>\n
Actually I sort of created more “work” for myself this afternoon when I decided to leap blindly into writing an ‘Inside the Newsroom<\/a>‘ type blog for the paper. I’ve been kicking the idea around for ages and after building a blog for the Editor’s editorial cartoons<\/a> that he draws, I wasn’t going to wait around for someone to give me the go ahead.<\/p>\n It’s bare bones right now because hey, I just started it this afternoon. But I plan to post in there daily. Here’s hoping I manage to do it. Might be hard to talk about the goings-on inside the newspaper 5 days a week \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I’ve also been sort of following the WGA strike that began this week. From an outsider perspective, it’s an interesting story to follow. I come down on the side of the writers myself. I’m not going to be fussed if the shows I’m following shut down production – and by fussed I mean I’m not going to whinge about it (I mean, 24 is shutting down later this month and the season premiere has been postponed. But I will not whinge.) I do worry for everyone who will be out of work while their shows are shut down. Not everyone in Hollywood makes buckets of cash and Christmas is a sucky time of the year to be out of work.<\/p>\n I only hope that the differences can be resolved satisfactorily and quickly, so the good folks who put these shows together can get back to doing what they do best.<\/p>\n In other news, my friends Mike and Sarah had their second child over the weekend. She’s quite beautiful and I’m very happy for them \ud83d\ude42 I got to see her today during the obligatory New Baby Tour (Thanks Mike!) and she’s the cutest little thing.<\/p>\n Well I think that’s me caught up for a while. More babble later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m falling down on the bloggin’ thang. I was doing so well too.
