Girly Crush

     The news of the day, after much anticipation, was that Katie Couric announced she was bringing her talents back to ABC after leaving her post at CBS. Oh. My God! I was obsessed! First off, I love Katie Couric. She seems like someone who, outside of her work, would be an absolute blast to hang out with. Like, your friend's really cool mom that you go over to visit almost as much, if not more, than you go over to visit your friend! She seems like that kind of lady. And she's adorable. Hence the title: Girly Crush. My adoration of her aside, I am fascinated by the fact that ABC continues to show why its a cut above the rest. Right now, think of the top female journalist in America. ...seriously, do it. (Don't worry, I'll wait.)
Gorg!


....now, outside of Oprah, who I'm sure came to many minds, you probably thought of Katie Couric, because she's now fresh in your mind, Diane Sawyer, and Barbara Walters. And they're all at ABC. Three women who have careers that I can only hope to model mine after, and they're all at one, single network, and I'm interning at that network. OH MY GOD! So I was just head over heels in love with Disney and ABC all over again. I remember during a few of my phone interviews for the internship when I was asked why I'd like to intern with ABC, and I said it was a brand loyalty thing. When you think about the best of the best, in a few different categories, it all leads back to Disney-ABC. The best in childhood movies and family fun: Disney. The leader in sports: ESPN. The best and most reliable, and objective, source of news: ABC. There it is, and here I am. In love with this company, and with reiteration that I wouldn't want to work for any other company. And of course that includes ABC-17 back in Columbia =]]


   Also in the news today was a whooole bunch of Weiner, and boy, America just keeps zingin' those Weiner jokes! Anthony Weiner, a representative in New York held a press conference admitting to sexting and sending pictures to some ladies he'd met on facebook. Mind you this man's been married for about a year, give or take. And his wife is an aide to Hillary Clinton I believe--lol that conversations that those two women must be having! But I had to contain my laughter during the presser, which was held in NYC. Earlier on, Weiner admitted that he'd meant to send the one of the pictures via a direct message on twitter, but accidentally tweeted it to all of his followers. HAHAH, prime example of smart phone, dumb people. Hee-LAR-ious!!! The best part though was at the end as he was walking away from the microphone and out of the room, you could still hear "journalists" asking questions. Two of which were, "were you fully erect?" and "will you support Arnold's love child?" I DIED!
And the Weiner jokes are a riot, one CG I saw on tv today read, "Meetless Weiner," because he never actually met any of the women in person. My god!
