Another journalism icon lost
Aug. 8th, 2005 07:10 pmIt seems so much of the old news guard is disappearing each day and no others are springing up. I do think that ABC made the wrong decision to spend almost their entire broadcast tributing Peter Jennings. He would have preferred them to just do the news and select a separate time to do a longer preview. Still, I almost cried while watching because Jennings loved journalism so much and really hoped he would be able to return. More depressing, it shows that when it comes to drugs, people really don't have a second chance. Smoking now has a good chance of damning you for life. Jennings should have had more time. I'll always remember the first time I saw his famous Berlin Wall clip, in which he gushed about being handed a piece of the Wall. I'll miss you, Peter.

I can't believe I'm seriously allergic to my synthetic fur because now I have a sore throat and have been sniffling all day. I have to write my papers for my internship final tomorrow or Wednesday. I hope I'll be able to scan things at
quebelly's sometime tomorrow as well. I'm barely going to be able to squeeze in time for con preparation with my brother's birthday and my company picnic on Saturday and everything for school due on Friday. I don't even know if I'll be able to get Friday off.
My brother had better start finishing his work sooner since I'm tired of coming home around 5 and working until practically 9 just because he wants to ass around for a good chunk of the time. Is it that difficult for him to do simple things like eat during the 10am-5pm shift I work? I guess I should just be happy that he's actually reading while I'm at work. Or I trust that he is. Time will tell when he has to write his book report. He can answer summary questions about what he read whenever I ask so that's a good sign.
And Six Feet Under might actually end on a deserving note. Color me shocked. I still love Keith and David's children of the corn.
I might finally get to watch Destiny 42.
