![]() First peppermint mocha twist of the season! Kathleen and I grabbed drinks and now we’re studying…I have a big American Foreign Policy exam tomorrow. Oct. 31, 2009
![]() I’m in love with— and super jealous of— my parents Keurig one-cup-coffee maker. They order some of the yummiest flavored coffees, and I tend to end up staying up VERY late when I visit thanks to sampling “caramel vanilla cream,” “cinnamon pastry,” “mudslide” and “swiss chocolate almond” consecutively (like last night). Today was fun— my mom and I went shopping for blazers and shoes and then met the rest of the family at Boston Blackie’s, a delicious restaurant solely in Chicago & the Chicago suburbs with some of the biggest burgers and sandwiches you’ve ever seen! My mom and I split one of their huge cheeseburgers with Swiss and it was more than enough for both of us. I’d recommend it if you’re around the area! Stopped at Blockbuster afterwards to pick up a few flicks to watch as the trick-or-treaters stop by— I’m excited to watch Synechdoche, New York tonight! Oct. 31, 2009
My latest live shot for the KOMU 8 News morning show. It’s more challenging than I thought it would be to consistently report live shots from 4:30am-7:00am that are relevant and newsworthy while still pre-planned to ensure they’re more interesting than me just standing in front of the wall. I’m trying to make my teases and banners a little more accurate and creative, as well as my anchor intros; and as for the shots themselves, trying to just know my material well & go with it rather than reading off of a script. I was also able to score an interview ahead of time, though I felt bad asking anyone to meet me outside in the cold at 5:30am! But Megan was an awesome sport, and I had a good time doing this one. Plus, it was about TOMS Shoes, a business I think is interesting at the least, and that I was happy to learn more about and to pass on what I found out. Next week, though, I want to step it up a notch more, even— really SHOW something in my live shot, whether its giving a tour of an area or showing damage from a flood or showing how a process works, even. Stay tuned for that! Oct. 31, 2009
![]() On Hallow’s Eve eve…spending the night in, watching this movie, sipping caramel vanilla cream coffee & getting some (journalism related) work done. I’m home for the weekend, and my parents have gone to sleep…and I’m enjoying the warmth and familiarity of the family room couch. It’s a quiet change to how busy and crazy the past few weeks have been- and I’m really liking it. Oct. 30, 2009
![]() just finished anchoring the around the state segment on the morning show… Now a morning perk me up before a 6 hour drive! Page 1 of 81

about
Hey there! I'm a convergence journalist currently reporting for KOMU 8 News in mid-Missouri. I also write a weekly column and am finishing up a degree in journalism at the University of Missouri. I love music, movies, tech & reading, and I'm moderately interested in fashion and cooking. This is my lifecast- the ins and outs of what I do each day, and some stories about the people I meet and work I do.
