Week 13

Week 13 was here and gone, and now it is time again for another post.

Today I visited the Squam lake Science Center in Holderness, NH.  They had some fun animals there such as foxes, hawks, mountain lions, an owl, and more.  I think some or most of these animals are in captivity due to some sort of disability, as otherwise it would be sad to see healthy animals put in cages (but still cool... it would make me conflicted).

Reading through this weeks information let me know that there is a good amount of protection that people have from defamation due to reporters.  A reporter would need solid information as well as good reason to write about a person in a negative manner before going about that. It is not an easy process.  Of course it is good to know that the reporters can make mistakes without being sued all of the time due to some of the laws that have been put into place over the years.

This next week looks pretty crazy.  Finals are going to be due soon for my classes, I work long hours most days, and I get my brakes replaced on Wednesday.  Of course there are other things that will make me busy as well, but these things will keep me fairly preoccupied for a while.

Week 12

Hello peoples,

Strange, but amusing to have a snow storm just the other day.  I didn't mind it, but I am not a huge fan of the cold weather it brought with it.

Reading through media law is always interesting; I always learn more than I expect to.  To me it would make sense to have most trials be public knowledge, but before the rulings in the Virginia case, it was not something that was fought over.  While reporters might be annoying, I suppose they do bring useful things to the table on occasion.

Next week I'm looking forward to getting new brakes and going mini golfing.  While not similar at all, both are equally important.  I think of myself as a mini golf nut on occasion.

Another thing I realized is that milk is REALLY good.  I love drinking milk.  I've always known this, but what amazes me is that every day I drink it, I still love it just as much as before.  It never gets old!

I like this non-homogenized milk that I get from Lyme, NH.  SO GOOD.

Raw milk is pretty flippin sweet too, but that sadly doesn't have a great shelf life, and I'm never home enough to drink it all.

Week Eleven

Helloooooooo!

After of a long night of playing Civilization 5, I am here to post my post.  Of course even with that long play time, nothing really happened except I stole a few of Persia's cities... which isn't bad I suppose.  Now I am working on their capitol, Persepolis!

I was relieved to read that AP journalists follow a strict set of rules in order to be a reporter.  This gives me some hope that somewhere, good, honest news is being produced.  I don't usually have much faith in the news, so this is good to know.

This coming week looks to be warm, and I hope that means more outside friendly weather.  I do like going outside even if I don't get to it too often... darn those video games!
