We're going to try this again. RANDOM ACTS OF AUZENNE is back online, and new posts will be added starting today.
This is starting to get old. As soon as I think I'm going to start blogging on a more consistent basis, I take a multi-month hiatus from this site. That said, I have a legitimate reason for not showing my face here over the last four months--I finally found work. The long employment journey began in August when I was hired to work at the Townsquare Media cluster in Lafayette. I started refereeing volleyball at around the same time, forcing me to drastically cut back on my umpiring schedule. Last month, KLFY called and hired me to produce their noon and weekend newscasts. I've been so tied up recently that I haven't had any time to write.
I also had to take another self-imposed exile after getting robbed at gunpoint a two months ago. That incident forced me to take a week off from 124 E. MAIN, which was something I'd never done in the three summers the program has been on the air. The self-imposed TV exile ended the next week. My exile from this blog ends today.
There is one big difference that you will see in this blog. We won't do breaking news. Now that I'm working for a TV news department, I will allow the reporters to do stories (read: I'm not giving any free scoops to the competition). I will continue to post media critiques (except for those that apply to my employer and its direct competition), political commentary, and weekly editions of RANDOM ACTS OF MUSIC: BLOG EDITION. Idiot of the Month nominations and awards will return in January, with the 2011 Idiot of the Year being declared in late December 2011 or early January 2012. Other random thoughts and musings will be posted here.
If you would like to be a guest columnist in this forum, let me know. Thanks for visiting, and we hope you continue to visit.
