crocodiles

just to share: after a report on the human-crocodile relationship in some town somewhere (sorry, brain dead at the moment. if i remember soon, i promise to edit this. if not, please feel free to fill in the blanks), hala had to point out something: notice that the reporter (see? totally drawing blanks at the moment) did not actually sit on the crocodile.
and:

"don't try this at home with the crocodiles you keep safe in there."
- hala, on sitting on top of a live croc (06 march 2005)

inside the middle east -
saturday's broadcast was interrupted by breaking news in lebanon. right during hala's report, darn it!
saw the whole thing on sunday. hala in blue jeans (again). the blouse left much to be desired, though.

oh, and how low was hala's neckline during sunday's shift? the camera kept pulling back, and still the top of her blouse refused to reveal itself.
but the heart pendant's back. and hala's so pretty.

too many anchors

I love Hala (well, duh there). So when CNN International takes her out of London, where there is an opportunity to see her practically everyday, I expect them to give the same guarantee when she's in Atlanta.

Or, if that won't happen, at least have Zain Verjee take over the shift.

So when I tune in to Your World Today, Rosemary Church is not the person I expect to see. Is not the face I want to see. Rosemary, then Tumi Makgabo.

Which leads me to today's complaint: there are too many anchors in Atlanta. I'm sure they're not all getting their maximum face time. At least Hala's got Inside the Middle East.

I know it's a bit futile to request Hala's return to London (and i don't want her to, especially now that I really don't get to tune in to London-based programs), but it's just...

Seriously, CNN: we (or, more accurately, ME) here in Asia don't stay up until the ungodly hours of morning and watch CNN to see Rosemary and Tumi.
