Why I really need a second job

Yesterday I fell to a new low in procrastinating. I watched the Fat Albert movie. Not only did I watch the Fat Albert movie, but I watched ALL of the Fat Albert movie. From start to finish. And it was bad. From start to finish. It's not like I was doing something and the TV happened to be on the station. I was flipping through the channels and found it at the very beginning of the movie and then thought to myself "I'm gonna watch me some Fat Albert." Sigh.

I'll write about the future job stuff tomorrow. Right now I want to write about my current job stuff. I went to the paper tonight, wrote another football preview. I think I may finally be getting the hang of previews. It went pretty well tonight. My editor seemed to make fewer changes than he's had to make on my other previews. Also, I'm starting to learn that it doesn't matter much what questions I ask the coaches during the interviews. They're pretty much going to say the same basic things regardless. So I don't need to get as nervous about the interview process as I have been. More exciting for me, however, is the news that I'm going to be covering an actual game on Friday. My editor is sending me to a high school volleyball match, and I'm supposed to write a game story. COOL. I'll be needing to get myself one of those hats with the notecard that says 'press' now. (thank z-man for that joke reference)

I'm grateful for good movies (20).
