Getting to my head

3,738. Why is that number significant? Because 3,738 people viewed Bill and my video yesterday. I posted that video at 6 p.m. That means, from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m. (when the report goes out) almost 4,000 people watched the entire video. Pretty exciting. And, to think I thought 42 was the answer to the question.

Today was way more busy than my Tuesday's normally are. I started out the day knowing I needed to shoot that other Music Minute. However, the video exporting screwed up, so I don't get video credit today. Oh well. It's too bad, however, because I liked the editing on it.

We watched American Gladiators last night. What a wonderful show! It really cheers me up to watch. Such great stories. And, people getting pummeled by men who are bigger than life. Here's one of my favorite clips from the show, three words— watch the thighs:



I'm getting slightly better at Mario Kart. I'm just learning how to master bikes, but I'm much more comfortable on karts. I'm trying to medal on every race, but it's more difficult when you don't have the training like all my guys friends do. For instance, my first video game was Super Mario Brothers, which I played in 1993. Then, I didn't ever play a video game again until 2000, when I went over to my friend Ashley's house and played the Mario Kart of that time. Don't ask me which version, I don't know. I was handed a controller and with a tear in my eye — knowing I was about to embarrass myself. And I did. I lost to her barely teenage sister. Which version was it, Ash?



Our air conditioning is out. Shocking. It broke yesterday (another thing that went wrong yesterday that I forgot to mention) but they said they fixed it. Well, obviously not. So to keep things cooled off, here's a cartoon to bring cheer into all of our warm lives. The repair men are here, trying to get the sports department vacated so they can repair it. Of course, in any other office, when told to leave you would do so. Not so in the newspaper business my friend. This time, they're arguing saying they aren't that hot and they can sweat it out. Hilarious.
