12:30 p.m.

I have never been this low on gas! I put in $25 rather than $20 because the price was so low.

7:45 p.m.

Our teacher showed us how to edit in our Buckeye TV class tonight.

3:15 p.m.
Got to Buckeye TV early and a filmmaking class was filming in our control room.
-----
4:48 p.m.
Buckeye 19 News meeting went well. They liked my pretzels.
-----

5:15 p.m.

Wow. I've never had Pizza at the Drake pizza before. PAD pizza is the BEST!!! It's affordable, too.
-----

6:15 p.m.

Ingrid and Saba looked over their script and I set up the audio.
-----

Meredith produced the show.

Went to Tai's Asian Bistro with friends and then we saw Iron Man.

1:45 p.m.

Tasty tasty! Mmm...salad with tons of salt for lunch :o)
-----

7:12 p.m.

They had a Cougar News celebration celebrating their 100th issue!
-----

11:0 p.m.

Free Frankfurters at 15th Avenue and High Street! People couldn't believe we were giving out free hot dogs! The last photo was not taken by me.

9:04 a.m.

Read part of The Looming Tower for a paper I needed to write this morning. Then I found out is was due YESTERDAY. It's a good book, though, and is a quick read. I like how it looks at terrorists as humans rather than monsters.

-----

1:26 p.m.

YAY! The teacher is showing a Frontline video! It makes me want to make documentaries! I learn the most from this type of medium. The video was about how Chaney and his minions wanted a more powerful executive branch and now that we are during "war time" (even if Congress hasn't formally declared war since World War II), the President can do what he wants. This is also partly why we are in an endless war. If McCain wins, I think it will continue.
-----

2:15 p.m.

Went to lunch with some friends at North Market in the Arena District. Strawberry salsa is surprisingly delicious, but I still LOVE the original salsa - it's like the stuff at El Vaquero.
-----

7:28 p.m.

THIS POSTER MAKE NO SENSE!! The second bear is NOT a baby, it is the same size, but the perspective makes it look smaller! It's hung up in the "cave" a.k.a. the multimedia room for the Lantern. I think it has been in the room since it was for film photographers.

4:15 p.m.

Leaving comments for in-class work for the Art of Podcasting. Through this, I now REALLY want to dumpster dive and learn to become a "freegan".
-----

5:15 p.m.

Woot! The Digital Union has Adobe Premier! Now I can edit Patricia's acting resume.

-----

11:05 p.m.

OH SHIT! I was right! I knew gas prices would be over $3.60 per gallon by the end of this week. :o(

7:45 p.m.

8:15 p.m.

I got to be the technical director for the OSU Talent Search! The photos above: Dave Fisher, my teacher, and classmate Chad try to untangle wires. The final photo is of the judging panel through the preview panel in the Buckeye TV control room.

10:25 p.m.

I rented Sweeny Todd and watched it with my mom when I visited. I love the woman character! You killed him? Oh, well...if he deserved it, it's OK. Well, we shouldn't let the body go to waste... and Johnny Depp reminded me of Sean lol!

9:30 a.m.

On a Lantern shoot with Jackie, we stumbled upon Free Geek. Housed out of Summit United Methodist Church on 16th Avenue, Free Geek takes donated computer parts and rebuilds them into working computers, which they donate to computer labs designed to serve the public and those who cannot afford a computer and/or access to other computer labs. After a volunteer puts in 10 hours of service, they receive a Free Geek computer for free loaded with open source software.
-----

4:15 p.m.

I went to the African American Heritage Festival for some feature photos for the Lantern.

3:40 p.m.

Sean and Joe came to hang up my cheap curtains and wall shelves. The screws and anchors that came with the shelves (bought at Target) were crappy and ended up tearing holes in my wall, which Sean suggested using toothpaste, wood glue, and paper to fill in. It worked pretty well, but needs a little more work.

8:34 p.m.

My friend from high school, D.W., got free tickets to a Clippers game and gave them out. We lost, but I talked to one of the camera operators who worked the game and he said some people in the field make upwards of $80,000 per year, although my research says $40,000-$60,000. Either way, I'm in an awesome major.

9:30 a.m.

I was out of food and poor, so I thought I'd check out Aldi. I went last night, but it was closed. I like the prices there, but most of their food is breads and starches and they don't have bags to carry the food you buy :o( I'll go there for raisins and canned food, but that's about it.
-----

9:35 p.m.

When I came last night, I saw this wooden stake and thought, "At least now I can protect myself from vampires!" And it reminded me of this comic.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:59:00 +0000

3:30 p.m.

Today, I planted basil, chives, oregano, strawberries, and tomatoes. I couldn't tell them apart, so I placed them in alphabetical order on my windowsill.

1:30 p.m.

So on the day 30 posts are due for my Art of Podcasting class, Blogger's image uploading tool stops working.
-----

3:30 p.m.

So I go to class and NO ONE is there. For a second I thought it was called off. Then, I remembered that it was Tuesday and it was in another room! I lost my (newly bought) bottle of water while walking to class so I had hoped to buy a new one, but was a quarter short. I had a 50-dollar bill, but that wouldn't help me in this situation.
-----

3:55 p.m.

Got to class (the real classroom) late and oh, guess what, the image uploading tool works on the school computers, but not my laptop. The good thing was I had some raisins in my bookbag. That made up for the last few hours.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:40:00 +0000

7:47 a.m.

Aws! My parents' puppy, Precious, is a little weirded out by my camera.
-----

12:43 p.m.

Grabbed a Lantern on the way up to class. WHAT?? You can't make funny headlines out of their names! Not like the Bumb/Larger duo. Plus, they were disqualified!
-----

1:03 p.m.

Wow. This looks almost official. Gah. People are stupid. I'm not falling for this.
-----

8:09 p.m.

Go Drew! He directed the impromptu filming of a talkshow for BuckeyeTV. I was a camera operator.
-----

8:13 p.m.

The only thing I didn't like about the show is that people didn't understand why some people don't want Coca-Cola on campus. They seemed to think it was because they liked the taste of Pepsi better.
-----

8:35 p.m.

The cute guy from Circleville (I can't remember his name) and another classmate do the technical directing and directing for the show.
-----

8:37 p.m.

After this shot, I got to direct!

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:33:00 +0000

4:05 p.m.

Rob and Heather see what story ideas everyone has for this week for Buckeye 19 News...shown on BuckeyeTV in the dorms.
-----

5:15 p.m.

Rob fixes Cara's hair for the Web site photo.
-----

5:16 p.m.

Reporting in black and white...Cara Shirley...Buckeye 19 News.

4:35 p.m.

Went to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium for a Lantern shoot. However, it started pouring and the reporter decided to call it off and I decided to go home. Since I took cover in the gift shop, I ended up buying these to go with my other chakra stones.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:45:00 +0000

11:30 p.m.

After the dollar movie, friends and I went to a game shop and I bought the cords I needed for my Playstation. The store manager had to explain to me what PSX meant.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:14:00 +0000

2:16 p.m.

This bike rack makes me want to work out...in the sun! Or at least save some money on gas.
-----

2:20 p.m.

Today, many students said they were attending the Facebook event called, "On 17 April, wear black in Solidarity with Palestinian Political Prisoners". Although I doubt that's why they wore black, I thought the red, black, red, black, red pattern was interesting.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:10:00 +0000

12:45 p.m.

Goodbye printer. You shall go to the Cougar News staff and the Student Ambassadors.
-----

2:45 p.m.
My new photo printer after spending 2 hours setting it up (1 hour and 45 minutes to just open the USB cord plastic case).

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:06:00 +0000

12:21 p.m.

Taking the 7 to class and working on my Taking the 7 project.
-----

12:27 p.m.

$3.45/gallon?? Geez. That's partly why I'm doing this project.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:01:00 +0000

11:23 a.m.

My mom's shirt ended up in my laundry.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:22:00 +0000

5:12 p.m.

Just finished a Buckeye 19 News meeting. I thought this plant looked neat on the Drake Performance Center.
-----

5:14 p.m.

Ooh...Lincoln Tower looks cool. This building is for student housing.
-----

5:14 p.m.

I got good parking, but I'm surprised I haven't been ticketed since the meter ran out over an hour ago. I really need to buy a parking pass.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:13:00 +0000

7:36 p.m.

Got my mail finally. The neat thing about the Colony Square Apartments is that they have a bin for junk mail.

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:09:00 +0000

12:30 p.m.

Yay...my gas-gusling rental car. I'm forced to drop off my rental car today - four days early.
-----

12:30 p.m.

At least the interior was nice :o)

noreply@blogger.com (Hope Moore) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 05:10:00 +0000

11:45 a.m.

Second day of the Taking the 7 project for class. I was hoping the bus stop at the end of Riverview Drive was moved because of construction of sidewalks. I guess the "construction" is tearing down a women's health center and bulding a Holiday Inn. Yay for having to walk an extra quarter of a mile to get to a bus stop *rolls eyes*.

7:34 p.m.

Daniel, a junior in mathematics, becomes an interviewee for my project on the way home.

---

8:45 p.m.

Last minute Volleyball photo assignment for the Lantern.

Almost missed it because of the bus.
