Howya doin?
So yeah, I hope you all like episode 6 - it is up now, btw...I finished it thursday night at 12:35. I'vbe been running myself ragged this week what with the new job and all...I'm really just not used to waking up at 6 to leave for somewhere by 7. Truth be told, I'm used to going to bed at 8 am. We are planning on recording today (Sunday) so that I can have an extra day to work on the show, and hopefully not have to stay up past my bedtime on monday nights (meanig I can go to bed right after heroes!). This may also bode well for you guys, as the show may hit around weds or thurs instead of thursday night/friday morning.
Well, thats about it from me. I did want to mention, however, a tragedy that fell this week at Ohio State...I'm sure many of you hadn't heard about it, but I think it deserves some looking into. A student in the first dorm I ever lived in was cut in half while getting off of an elevator friday. Apparently he was exiting and the car began to move with him half in and half out. Now I have been quite the witness to h0w poorly the elevators in those dorms operate, from seeing people get arms caught in the doors, to people being stuck in them for literally hours in the middle of the night just waiting for someone to come and let them out. I know these things don't work, I know all about the problems with them, and how much it takes for OSU to get them checked and maintained....usually they just let them go and fix them just enough for them to work. While I know this was most likely a freak occurrance, I can't help but feel like OSU should be found completely accountable for the negligence with which they treat the elevators in their dorms. I can't imagine what the family of the student must be feeling right now, nor whomever found him or was in or near the elevator when this happened (including the Office Assisstants, who, I know from experience, sit right near where the elevator shafts are, and must have heard sounds that had to have sounded like their worst nightmares come to life). I do pray for them, however, that they may find some peace, wherever it may come from....and I ask you to do the same. While I do try to be compassionate, its not often that something strikes me this close to home (said as someone who rode those elevators daily thru my freshman year, and who worked at that desk for a few weeks at the end of 3 summers), and I just felt that I needed to say something on the matter.
Ok, I'm done. Hopefullly we will come into your homes and ipods later this week with the episode 7 that we record tomorrow!
