so it's been awhile.

unfortunately, that appears to be how I operate in this online world...

so my first official publication has been posted online, but good luck reading the little bastard. for some reason (probably fate and luck) the centennial webmasters don't understand the internet, and they can't really run a stable and easy to navigate webpage. but if you want to check it out, you can try typing in www.torontoobserver.ca and see what happens. if the page shows up then you're in the minority. after that it's a crapshoot as to what you need to do to access my little article, but if you just do a search for my name it'll probably turn up sooner or later.

...if you have to ask my name, you probably shouldn't be reading this blog...

so yeah. the article is about election night last tuesday. let me say...really busy night for this intrepid reporter (read: imitation reporter). got to interview the Liberal candidate in Toronto-Danforth, then I had to hop in a taxi and book it downtown to Kool Haus where Jack Layton and his NDP were charging outrageous (and perhaps even unethical) prices to media members who wanted to cover the event. joke's on them though, I just stood near a speaker with my recorder and camera and got everything I needed.

not too much else to report really. had the first ever on-camera interview in class today. that was interesting, and thank god that no one outside of my classmates is ever going to see the footage. I'm sure we all looked like a bunch of n00bs (to borrow a gaming term).

I'll edit this post with some pictures later but I don't have them on the laptop yet. also, forgive the noise in the shots (this is mainly for Marcus) as I was shooting at ISO 1600 becuase I'm an idiot and forgot to change it to something with less noise. so there that is.
