Let's play ketchup

I had originally wanted to spend my day off sleeping as long as I felt like then eventually getting up and being productive. My roommates plans were a little different. The World Cup USA-Algeria game is on at 9:30 a.m. for some reason (I'm more mad at FIFA for scheduling a game this early in the morning). So, now I'm up.
I have the rest of this week off (hooray!) because I'm working two shifts this weekend (harumph). It should be fun though! On Saturday I'm going to the Twilight 5K run--complete with glitter stations and races divided by blood types. And no, I will not be participating, I will be there with a web producer to take pictures and write up a story about the event. I can't wait to see the people who show up in costume. And then Sunday I will be in the studio working with producers. I sat and observed the producers once before and was pretty baffled by the whole ordeal. But hopefully now they'll have the time to explain to me what is going on.
I haven't written in over a week! I enjoyed my weekend back in Lafayette so much that I forgot about keeping up with this. Well, I'll give a little recap.
I took a Greyhound back to Lafayette, which I will never do again. The bus was hot and crowded, and I was too carsick to do much at all. I just closed my eyes for most of the 10 hour ride. But now I know for sure that driving myself back and forth from Austin will be the best choice, mostly because of all the legroom and getting to play my music as loud as I want.
Besides the ride, Lafayette was awesome, fantastic, wonderful, splendiforous. I got to hang out with the family, see my dog, swim in the pool with Neil... It was perfect. We also celebrated Father's Day and Erin's baby shower while I was back. I got Dad a cool cowboy shirt, and I bought baby Maxim one too!
I really wished I could have stayed longer, but I had to get back to my internship!
I worked yesterday with a reporter that had the quintessential reporter voice. It was funny because I got to sit in on him doing his voiceovers and edits, and he would gesture while he spoke although no one except me could see him. It felt like a really long day because I didn't get a chance to sit down and eat the whole time I was there. But now that it's all over, I've got a free day ahead of me and an improv class tonight!
