I agree and disagree with what you said there, Kyle. I'm well aware that ranting and complaining about the changes NBC is making to TWC and all that will not change or solve anything. I still don't know how I still hate the new icons and HiRAD... I never look directly at the icons, and I just look past the HiRAD guesses. I get the CC info I need from the NWS Grand Rapids page.
I'll tell ya, it's amazing how I just about only watch TWC for the LFs... which is why I miss a lot of Steph's humor and humor seen elsewhere. Ordinarily, whatever TWC shows or does is their own business. But when you take out the LFs, you're crossing lines. I've shut out this whole Haiti concept because I'm tired of hearing about it. Maybe I would care if it wasn't shoved down my throat. I just today learned about how the earhtquake occurred, in Earth Science class. Supposedly it was an earthquake 150 years in the making... as the Carribean plate, while subducting, locked with the plate above it. It was bound to happen.
But the problem I have here is that it is all around me... school, what news I see on TV (before turning the channel), and it is all over the internet. Nearly impossible to shut it out completely, no matter how hard I try. If Haiti really has this many problems, something should have been done long before now... it shouldn't have needed a massive earthquake to get something done about it. It's irritating how the LF ends, and TWC opens directly to the issue with Haiti... so I am forced to watch it while I once again search for my remote. I would honestly love seeing a classic blizzard rite now... not just because I am desperate for snow, but to see how TWC manages both stories.
I hope everyone is doing alright with their exams this week. I can tell that it's a busy time for most of you as things are really quiet here.
Thanks Patrick. I'm most concerned about Algebra and World History on Thursday... hoping I can get some studying in.
