Never a dull moment

I have my first living item (besides myself) in my apartment. A group putting up new lofts in town sent this bamboo-plant thing to our news director today, and he gave it to me. Not sure how it's going to go...some living item is now relying on me. Granted it's just a green stick, but it's still a responiblity. Maybe the first step to me getting a monkey.

In the "no way did that happen" file...this morning I got one of the most unexpected phone calls of my career. The phone rings and this girl says "I'm Rachel Huggins." Rachel shot a guy in the chest at point blank range on New Year's day this year. She was having a plea hearing today and was upset with how it was going so she decided to call our station to make sure we had the story. Not something you usually hear from an attempted murder suspect (the guy survived). I think it's because we were the only station to report on the allegations of sexual misconduct against her victim. Who knows...we got a good story.
