all the news that’s fit to…um…blog

I had a bunch of surprises this afternoon, and I’ll start with the biggest first. Okay, here’s goes: longtime WYFF News Director Andy Still (my boss) announced his upcoming retirement at this afternoon’s employee meeting.

It was kinda surreal. The meeting started with one of our meteorologists lobbing hacky sacks and a nerf softball around the room - which hit me in the face, I might add - and then ended on this weird downer-vibe. We all got our “thanks for coming to the meeting” Klondike bars afterwards, but they just weren’t as sweet. Anyway, it seems like just yesterday I was making a techno mix CD for my boss…

In other (less interesting news): I just noticed that a recent iTunes update modified how the artist list is viewed in my iTunes library. The artists with number names are no longer first (meaning that 50 Cent is now near the bottom of the list). What does all this mean? Well, now when my iPod accidentally fires off the first song in the cue, it is no longer 112’s “Only You (Bad Boy Remix)”, but rather “Take on me” by A-ha. It’s not like the first song was all that great before, but now….kill me.

    What about band names that start with punctuation marks? For instance, currently I have ‘N Sync up high on my itunes, simply because the ‘ comes before A. What happens with that? My world is on its ass!!!!

    You have ‘N Sync on your iPod?

    Gordon - I only have selections from the “No Strings Attached” album. Groundbreaking, really.

    You know, on Andy’s last day, you need him to get in the truck with you for Pump Up The Jam III

    Dude… I have Ah-ha first now too. I’m a little bummed. I used to like “Me so horny” coming up because of my 2Live Crew. I think we bought that one together at the Clackamas Town Center while doing a story on graveyard vandalism in Oregon City.
