I’m amazed I finished with this one.  Starting Friday because Saturday I did pretty much nothing but watch skating, getting depressed enough about the men’s results I didn’t want to report about it, and briefing freaking out when the computer wouldn’t recognize I had the microphone plugged in until I had pulled it in and out several times.  But finished in time to enjoy a little Johnny Weir on Food Network: January 21-27, 2013

I’ll also probably be writing a blog post on Michael Weiss’ show, which I went to see yesterday, and indeed nearly made the newscast, it was only when Speedy and van der Porny showed up at the last minute that it got bumped out.  So everything else that happened this week: September 3-9, 2012

This Week in Figure Skating, December 26-January 1, 2012

I haven’t yet gotten myself to see how much of the sound made it through. Either after the Winter Classic or during one of the intermissions, probably.
ETA: Annotations done, no sound dropped this week! Yay!

This Week in Figure Skating, December 12-18, 2011

This was actually my first day at my new job, so I did most of this on Sunday. Which will make recording what actually happens on Sundays harder, though at least it’s Japanese Nationals next week, where the time zones work to my advantage.

This Week in Figure Skating, November 7-12, 2011

I’m finally finishing at a decent hour again! Though it helped that most of the NHK Trophy was over by the time Saturday morning was. Of course there was a bit of worry when NHK went blocking most of the ladies’ short, but they left more than enough for me to work with.
