Fandom Radio, Monday, January 7, 2013
Monday, January 7th, 2013 09:22 amIt is way, way too early to be woken up by squirrels carrying notes. Just putting that out there.
Good morning, everyone. It's Josh Lyman here to show you how radio should be done. I have degrees from Harvard and Yale, I've faced the White House press corps and emerged unscathed--
OW. OW. OW. Are you throwing things at me?!
*chittering*
Fine. Danny Concannon never did that to me. He might have wanted to, but never followed through on it...
On this piece of paper that says classes it just only says "go to them today." Well, with more creative spelling, but you get the gist. It's the first day of classes, folks. Go, get yourself the free education you're entitled to or it's very possible these increasingly violent rodents will hit you with things. I don't remember you being so mean the last time I was here. Do I need to look into rabies vaccinations?
*very angry chittering*
...and now I'm just going to crouch up here on the desk, in a professional way. In the dorms, someone named Maddie--I knew a Maddie! She was a crazy, crazy person who once drove up on a sidewalk to scream at a US Sena--OW.
I'm guessing that subtle assault means the squirrels think no one cares abut my amazing stories about the highest echelons of power in the American government. I'm certain they're wrong because, you know, squirrels. And also the other one was named Mandy. Not enough coffee, folks.
Anyway, this Maddie was checking to see if the dorms get cable--if so, check out the Capitol Beat--and Victor came in to talk about the weirdness of introducing yourself to people who should already know you--tell me about it. It's like no one has heard of President Santos here! Jim introduces Maddie to the junk food in the cabinets, which is a hugely important thing to know about. If she bitches about not having any Fresca, send her to the steam pipe trunk ventilation venue.
That reminds me...where's my office?
Emily wondered if most high schools have common rooms--not if you're at a public school, no--and Jessica's glad to see people here because there weren't any in the creepy basement that totally doesn't exist. Really. Jessica, are you signed up for my public speaking class? Kiiinda sounds like you might need it. Jessica then talked to Toby about how there are far too many places to get stabbed around here.
Wow, and I thought I was bad at small talk.
Toby brought Maddie pie and said that it's traditional to bring food to the common room. It is also traditional to bring food to teachers? Because it seems like that should be a thing too.
In town, I was at the coffee shop with my--hey! Five newspapers is completely normal to read in a day! I met Kaidan who's getting me a flying car--
*negative chittering*
I'll talk him around to it--and Lizzie, who was very impressed that I used to be Chief of Staff to a president--as she should be--even if she'd not heard of Santos or Bartlet. Coulson was cleaning the displays at Wellspring Arms--sounds thrilling--and Toby's changed up his shift and is now working Sundays at...wow, that's a name for a restaurant? Well, he's working at that restaurant with the ridiculous name if you're looking for him on Sundays. Jaina was at Devil's Nest with...Gangnam Style? Is that a person?
*sound of song cuing up*
...and that's four minutes of my life I'm never getting back.
Jake was at Caritas--I remember Caritas!--while the zombies--why I remember Caritas--were playing the wedding march. Please God tell me they aren't getting married. Max came in and asked and no, the zombies aren't getting married. Jake got divorced. Max has also not noticed that were are surrounded by an ocean. I'm going to guess Max just arrived yesterday because the other thought's just too depressing.
*papers rustling*
That's it? Great. See everyone in my class tomorrow. I'll give out extra credit if you do a radio broadcast during the semester.
