Local Access TV Appearance, or If More Than Three People Watched, I’ll Feel Sorry I Didn’t Shave

So I just watched my interview on local access TV. The UI7 news! Exciting, student and local content, brought to you by broadcast journalism students.

Did you know it existed? That makes two of us.

It’s a weird experience seeing myself on TV, even if my roommates and I are the only ones watching. It’s kind of like looking in a mirror and talking to yourself. But since it’s local access, it’s like talking to yourself with corks stuffed in your ears to garble the sound. And someone threw up on the mirror.

Actually, as it was my first time watching the channel seven student news thing, I wasn’t totally bothered by their shoe-string production quality.

I LOVE THEIR SHOE-STRING PRODUCTION QUALITY!

You should totally take the time to watch the channel 7 stuff. This shit is hilarious. One of the stories before the one I was in froze and the “anchor” looked totally pissed when the camera was forced to cut back to her. I don’t like watching nightly news programs without national stories, because they’re stupid. But amateur nightly news programs are hilarious. Check it out.

I also was contacted by somebody in ART 250, which I think is “Video with Writing” about interviewing me for something he’s doing. Like a documentary about environmental issues. So Randy and I are going to sit down with that guy tonight. It feels cool that people give a shit about this whole recycling business we started, especially since it is cool.

I’m still waiting for your call, News-Gazette.
