Cold continueth

Jesus, Cindy Fitzgibbon's not even on camera yet and just HEARING that she's OUTSIDE next to 128 is making me cold.

Ted Daniel in for Dougie seems to be looking like Goose with his shades.

I am such a TV nerd. Can I just say?

Incidentally, the campaign pushing the new A Current Affair is getting silly. There's a huge splash screen on 'FXT's website. Apparently that opening sound... a sort of dribbling crash against an electronic gong... was recognizable enough to TV news junkies that they're using it again. Yip yip yip.

....and another thing. When they send VB out into the field why does he even bother doing the suit and tie? He'd be so much more fun-looking and appropriate in a station logo fleece and jeans.* Especially today, where people are eating oysters at 8:00 in the morning. Slurp!

*of course you're talking to the same boi who was telling young women when he was college that they shouldn't wear twin set sweaters on the anchor desk. Maybe the tide turned when I saw Lauren Pryzybl in a cardigan and jeans doing a live shot. Are on-air talent supposed to be professionals in the office, professionals at all times, or comfortable and trend-setting while realistic and friendly as well as approachable in the field?
