Teases
are done. My head feels like it’s about to explode. I’m playing catch up on all my school work, because I was live blogging all weekend.
Pressbox is filming in the studio and hogging master control, so graphics cannot be generated until they’re done. Jason is setting up live shot cams. I’m going to read for a while until Bri gets here to do graphics. I wonder where Mary is.

It’s not over ’til it’s over…and it’s over.
I woke up this morning and filliped my television to channel 15. I forgot 24Seven is no more. I’m sure the guys that made it a point to really live there for a whole week are glad they get to sleep in their own bed, though.
I can’t believe I’ve been at TSTV for 4 years, back when it was still KVR TV (lol), and I still met some people I’d never seen before. Wow! I get that this could be a record breaking show, but it was also a wonderful way to bring the station together. It was less about news, sports, entertainment, and more about us as a station and being friendly.
I’m not really a social butterfly and I never thought I’d meet so many great people, get to know some of you better, and genuinely enjoy myself.
So thanks TSTV and 24Seven. I’m so glad this happened while I was here.
God, I now this is sappy, and you can tease me about it later, but I really mean it 🙂

Texas wins (again)! And then they talked about it…(again!)
Enjoy! Tune in to channel cable 16, antenna 9, and dorm 15 tomorrow night at 9:30 for more coverage of Texas advancing to the Sweet 16 on College Pressbox.
A dashing and bold adventure
In the post 24 Seven haze, I realized that I unintentionally learned a lot last week.
It takes a lot of hard work to produce entertaining television around the clock. I learned what that blob of cords in master control does. I also learned how to run the board while monitoring audio and adjusting cameras. Running back and forth between studio and MC is good cardio. ( :
Furthermore, the workload involved in maintaining an up-to-the minute blog was far more heavy than I had anticipated.
I emerge from this ground-breaking adventure an enlightened woman.

24seven bloggin’…from R-Kansas
I am coming to you this morning from Little Rock, Arkansas. This time yesterday I was working on a Subtext graphic, now I’m sitting here wondering how the debut went tonight. By the way, Subtext: Don’t sleep on it! I digress.
I am here to see some Texas basketball and cover my first NCAA men’s basketball tournament, so that should be fun. But seriously, everyone always explained to me that the reason Texas doesn’t fall into the Gulf of Mexico is because Oklahoma sucks. That is very true, but the dirty little section of Arkansas that borders Texas is definitely doing it’s share of sucking as well.
Right now, though, I am really just looking forward to enjoying some sleep. Tomorrow I’m going to try the whole “live blogging from the NCAA Tourney” thing. Hopefully they don’t go all Mark Cuban on me and throw me out.
