It's a big news day...

Both ONN and WTAP just left my house, each after interviewing me about my love affair with The Price is Right. And, check this out. I get to go to WTAP's studio THIS EVENING to be interviewed for their live 5 :00 newscast!

Weird day.

The Ohio News Network

OK, so I have been in touch with Brian McIntire at ONN for a couple of weeks now. He's going to come to my house Thursday morning to tape a story about me and my dealings with The Price is Right. This should be interesting, as we've just cleaned and straightened the living room of the house to allow him to even be here.

Oh, and as a side note, I will be taking Miss Hannah Young out for her birthday after we return to campus. Her birthday is, unfortunately, while we are on break, so it will be a belated excursion.

Hannah: You...me...the 31st. Uptown won't know what hit it.

The Internship...

Here's what I'll be doing, per Roger D. himself...

"You will be doing various office work, e.g. Xeroxing, stuffing envelopes, helping staff members out with their jobs. In the studio, you will help with loading and unloading graphics with our games. You will also be delivering envelopes to various offices here at CBS."

Sounds like this could be fun. Stay tuned...

Press Your Luck Marathon

It's just after 6 PM in the Eastern time zone. The Press Your Luck marathon in tribute to the fallen Peter Tomarken just ended. I'm proud to say I watched all 9 hours of it. Peter was a legend of his time and one of the inspirations for me to become a game show host. He will truly be missed.

Now to what's going on the rest of the time...

Since I'm not too hip on watching the umpteenth Millionaire rerun on GSN, I started flipping around until I landed on something that caught my eye. Jason X on Sci-Fi. Probably one of the stupider, yet better Jason movies there are. After that? Freddy Vs. Jason. Oh yeah. This is gonna be a fun night.

Game Show Marathon...26.2 miles of gooey goodness

OK, so, who hasn't seen the news about the new CBS retro-ganza, "Game Show Marathon"? From what I hear it sounds AMAZING!! If you haven't heard about it, I suggest you read it.

Now, on to other things.

If you have a chance to spend $1.99 on an order of Long John Silver's Buttered Lobster Bites, you may want to either save your money or get two pieces of fish. It's a tiny box, granted it contains about 20 to 30 bites in it. They're good, but not worth the $1.99, unless the size were bigger. I ordered a large, and I got the one-size-confuses-all box.

Also, something that grinds my gears...

I have to nix mail while I'm on duty in Bromley. Why is it that mail is still misdelivered while I'm at home?!? I just went down the hill to check the mail and we got mail for our neighbor TWO DOORS UP THE ROAD!! Who does that?

That's it for now. Peter Tomarken tribute starts at 9 AM tomorrow (3/19) on GSN. 18 back-to-back episodes of Press Your Luck. Don't miss a minute.

Your Spring Break Begins...NOW!!

Alrighty then. I'm currently sitting at home on Spring Break. It's good to be out of Athens for a little while. Now, here's the funny part. Mom took apart her bed, and stacked it on mine. So, right now, I'm sitting a mattress, two box springs, and a leveling board. It's pretty tall, and I'm diggin' it.

So, Spring Break plans. Let's see. Perhaps a bowling or mini-golf excursion, laundry is at the top of the list (and will be done tomorrow), and a trip to one of the many slot machine parlors in Williamstown so Granny can gamble a little bit.

Gang, this is my last Spring Break at home before the big West Coast Excursion. It definitely has a weird feeling about it, but it's good. I think it's about time I got out of my house and did something, right? So far, the plans are still a go to moving out July 1 and coming back right before Christmas. I still need the hard copy description from Roger D. before it's completely official.

When I go back to campus in a week, it'll be my last quarter in the Department of Res Life. It's going to be bittersweet, not gonna lie. I'm definitely gonna miss all my RA friends when I'm on the Left Coast, but I promise to keep in touch. Also, Spring Quarter will be the BIGGEST quarter of my college life thus far. Why? My Tier III class, THREE Game Show events on consecutive weekends (starting with OU Price is Right on 5/6), and a full 16 credit hour load. I can do this. Why couldn't I?

Well, that's it for now. More to come over the course of the week, I'm sure...

First Post in a while...

Alright, I figured I've left my blog unattended for too long. Thursday should be good...Bobcat Baseball Home Opener tomorrow afternoon, after a meeting for our College Bowl television debut on Friday.

OU PRICE IS RIGHT STATUS: All ordered prizes are IN and descriptions have been written.

I'm currently watching Arianna Huffington and Stephen Colbert fighting about truthiness. Very interesting.

Four months from today (Mar. 1), I'm moving to L.A.!! More to come there...
