I will admit, Alexandra is looking good tonight.  I don't know if it is just because I'm a sucker for pregnant women (It is definitely a turn on..for some reason)

Or maybe you're Bob Stokes.

Maybe..haha.  nah.   

I just think pregnant women are attractive.that's all..lol

Panera is very popular among everyone here. 

I know a lot of the people who work there, so when and if I apply, I would most likely get the job.  I applied at Wal Mart today.  The application had to be done electronically, and it took nearly 45 minutes.. blahh.

Apparently Eboni Deon has been trained on the HD studio as a fill-in; she's filling in for Nicole today. The other possibility is that she's not trained for it; we'll see if she purposely stays away from the projector wall today.

I could've sworn I heard Nicole sounding a little raspy yesterday. If so, this has to be a worst case scenario for TWC unless they did indeed prep Eboni in the Studio in case this very thing happened.

Nicole is on Military Duty for a few days.

Of all people, I thought for sure STEVE should know that

Maybe they train all TWC OCM's in there, just in case someone would need to fill in, I mean, they all are going to end up in there some day....

Congratulations to Jen, she for sure deserves the spot.  I agree with you, Steve.  There should be a travel analyst, and I am thinking Cheryl would have done a great job doing just that.

I am looking to get OUT of fast food.  I can't stand it anymore.  I'm going job hunting tomorrow.  I will probably apply at Farm and Fleet (a store with tires, pet food, and outdoor supplies), Wal Mart, or Panera Bread (a coffe-like shop).  I NEED to get out of the place I'm at now, or i will have NO summer, what-so-ever, and I will hate it.

So, after not being able to sleep, I decide to watch Rich and Sharon for about an Hour last night from 12-1, and I didn't catch their catch phrase once   I was sad..lol

Maybe I'll catch it tonight.

Yes..those were the good days.

She was Kim's replacement, who had a baby.  Then Jennifer had a baby, and that's when Alex stepped in, and now Alex..possible..hmm

First off, why does it matter if they use Live tags or not?  I mean, it takes up more space (not much), but still.

Second, Does it matter that they all don't have the unique lower thirds.  We experienced this a couple years back back in like 2004 when many of the shows shared the same lower thirds.

But, I suppose it's your opinion 

I do kind of get where your coming from on the whole Lower Third taking up the whole screen thing, but again, less space. 

I'd rather the meteorologist stand in front of the chroma-key.  However, watching Sharon last night, she was WAY too close to the camera.

But, I think this is the best thing TWC has done in years.  I give it probably an 8 or a 9/10

I don't really like the lower 3rds. They'll probably change by the end of this year when TWC switches fully to HD.

I don't actually mind them.  TWC must have realized that you don't need a huge chunk of screen to show who is presenting the weather, or what is being shown   I'm cool with that.

Actually, I just saw on article on tvjobs.com that said Jennifer was on the move to KXAS.  So, she is going.  But.. who knows when she'll start

Jim said to expect that at first. The wall is a little bit away from the OCMs.

Makes sense.  I know I wouldn't want to look straight at the wall.

I am way excited about the future of TWC, when ALL shows go Hi-Def.  But, I am kind of glad all of the shows are getting graphics.  I only expected Evening Edition, and Your Weather Today to change their graphics today, and I was more than surprised to see the new LDL today.  I didn't expect it to go national til later this year.
