ugh. i feel full. Just had 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner and feeling pretty full.

At work I just covered a truck roll over in Adair. I think some pigs might have been electrocuted when the truck struck the power poll. Its always weird hearing the pigs scream in those trucks. Bacon is alright but Im not in love with it like some people.

Hopefully no more spot news tonight. I really want to get some sleep and watch the Daily show after frontline is over.

Oh yeah. Stopped by Lincoln Elementary (a bit late) after the accident. I had one kid say I took his pic at the tractor show (I think he meant the Ag Mech show). He seemed kinda disapointed that his pic didnt make the paper. I think I need to disclose more that not everyone who gets thier pic taken makes the paper. Especialy with the amount of names I get.

It's been a long time since I've been on here. Just need a record of things I'm doing for myself. Nothing interesting, just record... for now.

Morning:

Got up kind of late. Still feeling good about the macaroni I made yesterday which was:

3/4 of a sauce pan of elbow macaroni
1 and 1/2 shot of Whiskey (I used Jack)
3/4 cup of tomato sauce
sprinkle of garlic seasoning
some hot sauce
2 or 3 slices of American cheese singles

Heated on a skillet and mixed it all together. Ended up really good. Whiskey adds a little tang.. Good stuff. Wanted to make it baked but maybe next time.

Back to today, headed over to the office, checked on an assignment at 2pm. Headed over to the YMCA for the first time, got a tour. Might get a membership but I'll check to see if I can still apply for a welcome package since I moved here in June. I'd get a free month with that.

Saw Tuesday's with Morrie. It was a play at the Western Illinois Performing Arts Center. Just a two person show but it was great.

Headed home and decided to go to HyVee and get some Deep dish ingredients. Last time I buy pre made dough. Making it myself next time.

Oh yeah, covered a car fire in the square before HyVee. Girl was jump starting her friends car and the girl' car caught fire.

Just laundry now. Gonna be a late night.

Big test on Tuesday.

Day 2 wedding portraits

Here's a few from Day 2. I'm almost done editing the wedding pics. Down to the last 4 gig card. Had a blast. Just hope to get better little by little.








Now that I think about it, probably could've used the pop up flash for fill without red eye. Eh, live and learn. Next time, two strobe setup.

Going undercover

I was listening to On the Media from New York Public Radio and it got me thinking.

I'm sure other journalist's think about this, going undercover for a big news scoop. Take for instance ABC News v. Food Lion. In the Supreme court case, ABC news went to investigate the Texas supermarket reusing and bleaching old meat and mixing it in with newer meat.

After the story came out on Primetime Live in 1992, the stock for the company plummeted but Primetime got a journalism award.

Food Lion sued and a federal court agreed with Food Lion. Still, ABC only had to pay $2 after an appellate court reversed the original decision that would have awarded Food Lion $5.5 million in damages.

hmm.
