Sunday 12 November 2006

I worked 6 to 2 today. I didn't immediately have a liveshot for the 7 AM show. Instead I drove to a housefire at 41st and Locust. Apparently some college aged people partied a little hardy last night and something set an overstuffed chair on fire. Firefighters had a bit of a hard time rousting a couple of the people on the top floor. Then I picked up Lori and we did our lives at Saint Lukes South in Overland Park on drive through flu shots.

Afterward I dropped Lori off and went to Town Topic to eat. Some of the staff that I know there have quit. There wasn't anything for me for the rest of the afternoon. I went to try to dub some stuff for a package I'm working on, but somebody was using that station. So, I went to Y.J.'s to wait for a call.

Y.J.'s Snack Cafe at 18th and Wyandotte in Kansas City, Missouri. That is Jimmy waiting for his wife. This was about 14:30.

I talked to Jimmy for a while. We got on the subject of timeshifting and old tv commercials, and I recounted the rediscovery I made of an old forgotten vhs tape recording of "the Day After" which we recorded the night it aired on ABC, in 1983. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After

One of the younger people there eavesdropping on our conversation thought we were talking about "the Day After Tomorrow."

I headed back late and dropped my battery and Scotts camera off, and got into my own car. I left a note explaining that I'm not able to be on call tonight as I have no gear. I then headed home. Suyen and I were vacillating between staying home, or going back into the city to get her car. We decided to do the latter. I was hungry, so we stopped and ate at Boston Market. then we went to Crave. I called my friend Ti, but she was unable to come over as she was sitting with her child. Then we got Suyen's car and headed home in the rain.
