Inara ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I hope Emmett's better this morning.
He's about 101 this morning. So sick and uncomfortable, but not dire. I'm guessing it'll have a three day course, and he'll be pretty schlumpy this weekend. Poor little poot. On the other hand, he'll be at home watching cartoons all day when he's not sleeping on the couch, so that is one of his favorite activities.

YOu know, P-C, tapes might be worth it if you ever interview someone who later claims you misquoted him/her. Taking notes off the tape sounds damned sensible, but it couldn't hurt to have an actual record of the interview. Maybe now it's not so crucial, but when you're the science editor for the New York Times it'll probably come in handy.

Oh, no, I'm definitely still always taping (need to get my own tape recorder), but today I used it as a substitute for taking notes, and I should have been taking notes and just making marks as to where I should cue to quote directly. I also need to get one of those neat flippy reporter-type notebooks.

And a fedora and a little "PRESS" tag you can stick in it....
Connie, I understand your opinion. For what it's worth, I've never had any problems as a reporter caused by not taping stuff. But, then, I'm not writing for the New York Times, either.
(It seems to me like most reporters I know only tape in specific circumstances -- e.g., if a source has been difficult in the past, or if there's likely to be a lot of technical language -- but I haven't done an exhaustive survey. Also, a lot of modern reporting is phone work, and I've never known any reporter who hooked a tape recorder up to their phone. I'm not sure if it's a technical thing, or just that we don't want to feel like Linda Tripp.)

Two words: steno pad. There's more room to write than the special reporter's notebooks.
The few times I used a tape I was sorry, but P-C will not have the dexterity problems I've got.
I think my right side is better - it seems to be more cheerful. The left side looks, kinda...evil. Not Phantom evil (the Movies in 15 Minutes by cleolinda at lj is hilarious), but more of an "I can do evil if I want to". The slant of my eye gives it away.
P-C, tapes might be a pain, but you'll be thankful in the long run if you use them.
now P-C knows what JZ does at work!
I think it looked like he was trying to steal the princess in thqat picture. and VW looks amzing -- and there were faces I hadn't seen. yay . I love looking at photos
