A thousand a day...282-288

Wednesday, September 15
Hot off the press, today's primary election results paper was delivered around the newsroom by one of the pressmen just around midnight.

Primary election night in Delaware made national news this year because of Christine O'Donnell's win over longtime Delaware politician Mike Castle. I was stationed at Michele Rollins' campaign headquarters to shoot video and then edited Rollins and Caitlin O'Donnell video when I arrived back at the office.

I feel like I'm doing my own Julie/Julia project here, first with my lasagna and now with my next dish. The only difference is I'm not trying to be like Julia Child (not yet at least, though her cookbook is on my kitchen counter waiting for me to graduate cooking kindergarten). My project is to just learn how to cook things that don't turn out like my first spaghetti: hard noodles, cold sauce and overall pitiful.

I'll have to make this an unofficial recurrence on my blog. So, in my second installment, here is my attempt at stir fry!

Today was a day to catch up on the sleep I didn't get Friday after a long day of crabbing early in the morning and an even longer night (into the next morning) of football. But as I was laying on my couch, I decided to be somewhat productive and crafty by trying my first punch needle...

Earlier this week, I read an article and edited a video about Longwood Gardens' new display of 22 acres of sunflowers...half a million of them! And I knew instantly that I needed to go see them. Sunflowers are my favorite, after all, and it worked out wonderfully that my mom, Lizzie and Ya-Ya mama Dent were visiting me this Saturday (sunflowers are the official flower of the Ya-Ya sisters). It was so stunning to drive around the corner and arrive at a field of gold.

"Tonight's gonna be a good good night"...the Elon football memories (and of course the Black Eyed Peas song that played before every Elon game) were definitely coming back to me as I got to shoot my first football game tonight. I covered the Middletown vs. Appoquinimink game...a HUGE rivalry since it was one high school split in two since it grew so much. High school football is definitely different from college football. And, of course, I was missing my Phoenix Phootball Phun crew. Here's the link to my video (with my first attempt at a "football voice").

Cheating again...this photo (video still) was actually taken on my Friday morning adventure on a commercial crabbing boat for "Anything Once." Justin Williams and I set sail in Delaware City with Captain Bob Wiso and his crew to catch crabs for three hours.
