well then

Should I write some more poetry or another post about positive body images? What is this, the Lilith Fair? Yeesh.

Anyways, I’m co-editing this year’s frosh supplement for the Gauntlet (with the ever-talented Remi Watts), which is gonna be hella awesome but also hella busy. It’ll be a crash course on InDesign, the program we use to layout the paper. I haven’t had much time to practice at the Gauntlet this summer cause of my job at CJSW, so frosh will be good to prepare for features editor in the fall. Eek.

This summer is going so fast. Seriously.

Also, I’m really excited for Narrowcasted News next week, we’ve got a preeetty sweet guest coming on. We’ll announce it on this week’s show, so tune in on Friday to find out! I’ll also play my interview with musician Jordan Klassen on this week’s show, so huzzah!

Another cool thing, the Globe and Mail picked up a story we did on the show and in the paper about Dino sprinter Sam Effah. Holllaaa!

I’ve also updated my blogroll. It’s now better categorized. Be sure to check out Calgary Politics because it’s pretty much one of the raddest endeavors I know of. Basically, five bloggers hope to provide coverage of Calgary’s civic election all by themselves. Hello??? Awesome!? Also, I like the word ‘endeavor.’

Continuing on with the erratic ADD theme of this post, I found something special for you. It’s comedian Jim Norton and Brooke Shields emulating his bad posture. I had to go through Jim’s old tweets (not for the faint of heart) to get these, as they were posted last summer.

I am standing like this and Brooke Shields just asked me, “How do you get your body to do that?” I am a truly mopey asshole.

Brooke Shields standing behind yours truly, mocking my slug-like posture.

I would entertain more deprecating humor about myself, but as I am flawless I lack material.

Oh, wait.

That’s a lie. I forgot for a second that images of me like this exist.

narrowcasted news is now a podcast!

Now if you miss us on Fridays you can subscribe on iTunes! And you’re not going to want to miss us, because this week Brent and I will be talking to U of C Dino Sam Effah. He’s a sprinter who recently won gold at the North America, Central America and Caribbean under-23 championships (NACAC) after sprinting 100 metres in 10.06 seconds! That’s half a second away from Usain Bolt’s 100m world record. He’s fast . #understatement

So I’m super excited to talk to him =) That’ll be fun. And don’t tell anybody but I’ve actually never done a sports interview before! Can’t be that hard, right? We’ll find out I guess.
