Well, when better to start a new blog than (1) on my second sick day and third day stuck in my house and (2) on the evening of the biggest storm in YEARS?? Many names have been given to the nasty squall affecting 100 million Americans this week, but the title of this entry is my absolute favorite. Thanks to my friend, WIXY's Nicole Beals, for passing it on.
I loved when Jennifer Ketchmark (WCIA) taped two of those Snow Bear rulers together to measure the snow we're gonna get in Central Illinois tonight. The weather folks are PUMPED about this, and I can't really blame them. It's honestly an exciting time to be in the media. Adrenaline is flowing, the message is critical, and people are hanging on your every word (well, most of them). So being sick at home is truly a drag, even though I haven't had to be out in the bad weather...or spend the night at the radio station as several of my coworkers are doing right now. We don't get snow days, no matter what.
I'm happy to head in tomorrow (may change my mind when I wake up and see the damage). The plows never seem to find my neighborhood and the ice I hear slamming into my windows is pretty freaky, but it doesn't matter. We'll be live on the air as we are every day. But like everyone else in Central Illinois, my fingers are crossed that my power won't go out.
Can't say I've paid much attention to pop culture while I've been sick, but I HAVE watched a lot of bad TV. Right now I'm watching The Biggest Loser LIVE...I never, ever watch it live. There's a reason. But I'm just that bored.
