Week 14 Newsletter: The Tournament Begins
First off, sorry this is coming out a day late. I had everything done but the picture edits, which I was going to take care of yesterday. However, I got a text from one of my executive producers saying I had to come in from noon to 6 p.m. I wasn’t close to my computer…

Week 13 Newsletter: Hey Football Heads
Me last Friday: “Hmm… what should the theme for the next newsletter be? We’re getting close to the playoffs, so maybe something about battling for survival… something high-volume, turning it up to 11, heavy metal style.

Week 11 Newsletter: Spin That Black Circle
I hate it when people completely skip Thanksgiving and go straight to celebrating Christmas (looking at you, Starbucks/department stores/90% of my coworkers).

Week 10 Newsletter: Ragnaroking and Rolling
Two years ago, I watched 100 movies (that I had never seen before) in a year. That’s a new movie for about three/four days. While I loved it because it broadened my horizon and finally crossed off some must-see films from my list, the task also sort of burned me out when it came to…

Week 7 Newsletter: Moving on Up
An interesting thing happened to me at work this week: I got not just one, but two free bags of tortilla chips! Plus, one of them was from Chipotle, so it’s as good as getting three free bags. Free tortilla chips! Also, I got promoted. FOX40 offered me a two-year deal to be a full…
