In a few short weeks the four wisdom teeth I’ve known my entire adult life will be extracted by an oral surgeon in a matter (I’m told) of 30 minutes. The recovery is what I fear most.

Matt jokes that he plans to produce a similar video (see below) in the hours and days afteward, when the swelling subsides and the drugs wear off.

Let’s pray his camera battery dies the day before.

Wishing a very happy birthday today to Matt, the only man whose fart jokes I find even remotely humorous. To my boyfriend: may your day be filled with creative radio bits, your night with Red Bull and vodka.

Last week I participated in a panel discussion at UNO about the importance of working for (and supporting) your college newspaper. Here’s a brief video recap of the evening’s discussion, produced by Dr. Jeremy Lipschultz, director of UNO’s School of Communication.

I worked for UNO’s student paper, The Gateway, from 1997 to 1999 while earning my degree in journalism. It was exhausting, low paying work … and I loved every minute of it.

See what life is really like working in Omaha radio.

I relished all two hours of last night’s AC/DC show in Omaha.

And while I don’t have photos, the opening band — The Answer of Belfast — put on a great show. (Think Led Zeppelin mixed with a bit of the Black Crowes.)

A line snakes ’round Omaha’s Oak View Mall as parents drag their children to visit Santa Claus hours before Christmas Eve.

Who’s jolly now?
