Sunday, July 12th/Wednesday July 15th

Woah...sorry I haven't posted. Not like I'm busy or anything...I just keep forgetting and then my parents remind me when I get home. I have this rule where I only blog at the intern desk...hence "Live from the Intern Desk". Clever, huh?

Anyways, the past few days have had their moments. Sunday was pretty dull...actually terribly dull...until BAM huge story. I'm talking story of the summer...dead body in a house. Dead body that has been in the house, decomposing, so long that you couldn't tell the gender or age. I was out on the live shot for about 2 hours, watching our reporter go into his usual overly-stressed mode and talking with neighbors. Then subsequently telling the reporter everything useful the neighbors unwittingly said to me. It's cool. They never said off the record. However, our female anchor made some AMAZING peanut butter brownies. Those things were like pieces of tasty gold.

Today has also been...eh. I went out on a followup from that dead body, which turned out to be the 10 year old boy that lived there with his mom, who was in the house when they discovered the body. She's being charged with murder. So, we did a story that was all "aw, this kid is dead". Seriously though, it was really sad. The neighbors cried and I didn't. Because I never cry at normal things, only about weird things.

I just came back from another story...police officer arrested for child porn. This was embarrassing (for him) because we were allowed in the garage where they take the guy out and put him in booking. So we were right there when he was led out of the car. Sucks to be you, man.

Now I'm sitting again. The other intern is getting some dinner so I took her seat at the assignment desk, the best one in the room. Ha.

Interesting things:
-Phone calls from the usual crazies, of course.
-watching reporters freak out over uh...nothing.
-Okay that's it. Can't think of anything else.
