I bought a USB cable for my camera and to justify my purchase I'm posting various pics. Above was Lex's birthday party at the end of April. Below was not too long after I cut my hair really short the first time and I wanted to see how it looked. Notice not only that my apartment had no furniture and was dirty, but also the gash on my forehead after I woke up one morning and walked straight into the light that is hanging down in my dining room.

And here' s our old weekend director Becca on her last night.

I guess that's all I've got for now.

People. We gotta talk.

What is it about my name that makes it so hard to remember? I can not tell you how many times I've been called Jared, Justin, Josh, or Jason. Sometimes even George, but usually that's just when I'm introducing myself because I somtimes just slur the second syllable out of laziness. Seriously, "Jordan" is not that rare. There's a river named after it, a country named after it, a basketball star, I could go on and on. Do you really think anybody made the mistake of saying that #23 on the Bulls was Michael Jared. Or that Jesus was baptized in the Justin River. I mean, come on. It's come to the point that, if one more person calls me Jared, I'm just going to climb up in a tower and start shooting people. So remember: call me Jordan, you get a smile and a handshake; call me Jared, you get a punch in the face.

I have a dirty little secret that haunts me everyday of my waking life. And I guarantee that at least 60% of the people reading this share it with me. My name is Jordan Foster, and I'm a procrastinator. Maybe it's the fact that in school, teachers are more worried about helping students pass the TAAS test and breaking up knife fights to actually teach about time management, but I'm convinced it's something everyone should take at least one class on. So in honor of my crippling affliction, we'll play a little quiz game.

Tyson Turner was getting married on Saturday and I decided to leave Friday night so I could sleep in on Saturday. So Thursday after work, I came home and...

A) Washed my clothes and started packing.
B) Cooked some dinner and then took a nap.
C) Layed on the couch and watched Survivor, The Apprentice, Prison Break and Family Guy, then realized that I needed to do something constructive so went into super-cleaning mode and cleaned my entire downstairs before realizing at 2:00 am that I could just wash my clothes and pack on my lunch hour the next day.

Moving on. Friday (my departure day) I worked on the show to get it finished and ended up working through lunch so I could be ready when we went out to FOX to do a satellite interview. I built new graphics for the show and got done around 8:00 and went back to my apartment. Then I...

A) Hurriedly packed and grabbed some dinner on my way out of town.
B) Picked up clothes off the floor and threw them in a suitcase and left.
C) Layed on my couch and watched Reunion and Family Guy before realizing that I really had to get it together and ran upstairs, grabbed some clothes out of the dryer and threw them in my backpack, before spending an hour trying to put songs on my iPod and wondering why my internet wouldn't work and then going to bed at 2:00 and setting 4 alarms to wake me up at 6:00 am.

If you can't figure out the answers, than I congratulate you because you do not suffer from this debilitating affliction. You're probably one of those people who pays their bills on time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go do something lazy so that I can push all the important stuff further down my schedule where it belongs.

Promptness is way overrated.

My interview went very well last night and the lady I interviewed with said to expect to hear back in about three weeks.

Sweeps started at FOX and everyone is going nuts. For all you non-TV people, sweeps is something that happens four times a year (February, May, July and November) and it's when networks determine their advertising prices based on how many viewers they have. So a network could charge $X per viewer or per 1,000 viewers or something along those lines. So it's up to the networks to do big stunts during these months to draw in more viewers so they can then show potential advertisers how many people would be watching their programming and would see their advertising. Anyway, for news it means big stories and month long investigations and in depth human interest pieces. It also means that we have to have every show be perfect. And trust me, it ain't easy. Since we are a one hour newscast, we have more possibilities to make a mistake. However, I can't proudly say that the three days that I have floor directed since sweeps started have been good shows, from a production side at least. There have been some mistakes like wrong supers or clipped mics, but everything's been good on the floor.

Today it's November 9th and the high in LR is supposed to be in the 80s. That day of fall and winter we had a few weeks ago was great. And I guess we just wrapped back around to summer. Fall and Winter, we hardly knew ye.

It's been a long time since my last post and I've got lots of amazing and great things to tell you about....is what I would be saying if I had any amazing and great things to tell you about. It's been kinda quiet lately, no huge waves to rock the boat. Work's still cool. Lost is finally back after three weeks. Trying to find people to work for me on Christmas. Same old stuff. Oh yeah. I signed up for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and today I'm going for my interview to get my kid. Even though the brochures say they "strongly disagree" with renaming him, I've already starting calling him Annyong in my head, Annyong being the little Korean kid on Arrested Development. So from now on if I say anything about Annyong, everyone will know what I'm talking about. So anyway, I'm going to interview to get Annyong today at 5:30. So, here's to hoping that they don't find out about that time I killed a guy in Reno just to watch him die.
