When news breaks, they’ll fix it

The queen is dead, or just graduating and moving up to WFIR in Rockford, Illinois.

Long live the queen!

The end of tonight’s production means we’re down to the final shoot of the school year. Sports will have the honor on Thursday evening. Tonight, the IUSTV crew produced two news shows, with the new news director stepping into her role. We said goodbye to handful of seniors and this whole process is repeated about eight times over the last two weeks of studio shoots. Anyway, those news shows will be online tomorrow. New today is the late night show. You can watch it here:

An experiment

With the days getting blessedly longer, I can actually see more and more daylight. This evening I even left the studio in time to see a bit of the sunset.

So there I was, standing on the top level of the parking deck, looking off to the west thinking, what would this look like in black and white?

I should probably keep this one in mind, don’t you think?

YBYSAIA

A couple of boxes were waiting at the door this weekend. My mom sent me a few nice gifts, including these handsome turtle cufflinks. These will go with anything!

There were several other sets of cufflinks, and so now I have a very large collection that will require their own storage solution. Presently I’m using a few sections of one of my bathroom drawers to keep them organized. Yes, I have drawer sections, don’t you? Sometime back I cross sectioned balsa wood to keep all the contents from sliding around. I put in a bit of foam for cufflinks. I cut some slits into the foam so my cufflinks would all be neatly arranged in pairs.

What? This isn’t something you did one Saturday morning, too?

Anyway, I lately made some cufflinks out of buttons. My purchased cufflinks nicely filled one section of that draw. Then I made some more out of buttons I found. That became two sections of my bathroom drawer. This weekend my cufflinks grew by several more pairs. So I’m going to have to come up with another solution. Maybe a custom drawer or storage box.

And, most importantly, my wrists look snazzy.

Here’s some television to watch online. First, the Not Too Late crowd put a new co-host character on their show. He’s a bit nervous, and that worked pretty well. It is even funnier if you know the guy, who isn’t nervous about anything, really. They also had an extemporaneous student government campaign, which was quite amusing. This was a good episode:

The morning show got all civic-minded with a city council member:

And a throwback bit from the old pros:

Wearing the foxes

Today’s cufflinks and tie combination.

We’re very formal.

Here are some television shows some of our students have put together the last few days. First, a late night show, and then a morning show. You’re covered no matter what time of day you’re reading this.

One foot in front of the other

And now, a few pictures from yesterday’s run. It was just a quick half-hour three-miler.

I got tasked with running ahead, catching my breath and setting up an action shot:

It took several tries, and that one was as good as it got. (I blame the catching-my-breath part.) If you look just closely, The Yankee has both feet off the ground in that one, a proper running stride.

We posed:

And we took one of our alternate poses:
