Memories

Heres a little game that I stole from Amy! I don't usually post stuff like this, so humor me just once, okay?
Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember!
Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
Ready, Set, GO!

Pure Annoyance

This is going to be a short posting, but a very important one.

I have lived in Utah my entire life, and I love this place. However, if I hear the Utah television news anchors say the word "cop" instead of "police officer" on the air one more time, I may have to move. Don't they read a prompt or a script when they're speaking? If so, does that mean that behind the scenes there is another person who would rather use a slang word than the proper one? Do the other anchors and producers not pay attention? Where did formality and professionalism go? Cop? Really?

I can just see it: tomorrow night I will turn on the TV and hear one of our local television personalities saying "well, they busted the man who robbed that joint and threw him in the pen."

I am embarrassed and annoyed. If you know anyone in the television news industry, please pass this along. PLEASE!

OK, it was longer than I expected. Peace out.
