Exploring the other side of the rainbow

Random Thursday Thoughts…

Last night, Ted Koppel made a cameo on the Daily Show. The dude rules and I was thrilled to visit the Nightline studios during my last quarter for Medill. It’s always charming to see a journalism giant like Koppel express himself so bluntly. Check out this clip!

The man behind Praire Home Companion has some kind words to share about Los Angeles. Online, I try to defend LA. In true form, Kansas commenters proceeded to dish out disgust for my home town. Sigh. Only a few folks in Kansas have any positive experiences to share about California. Ever since I moved to Topeka (Nov. 2005), a majority of Kansans I’ve met told me I made the right choice to leave California. They said couldn’t imagine anyone, including a sweet gal like me, being able to live in L.A. I just stare at them and try to find a gentle, politically correct way to express my opinion that they have know idea what they’re talking about.

I miss home.

Finally, another cool way to check out my photos. I think you need a flash player to see this album.
