about last night...


lovely pic, Liz. just lovely.


Last night was a good night to be someone who doesn't have a social life. :)

Getting home from work, I was expecting Andrea to be the one to tell me about the headlines and an update on business news from London, but, instead, it's Questy, and I miss him (and I thought that would be impossible, with the way he's usually all over CNNi).

Then came the best part: HALA!!! Oh, how lovely it would've been if Questy crossed over to Atlanta to ask about the headlines as he signed off... *sigh*

Then there's the Defining Moments broadcast, which I missed the first few minutes off because of the World Report Conference thingy (I wasn't paying attention, obviously. Andy Cooper or not).
Luckily, there was a replay of Defining Moments this AM, which I saw, and, wow. Christiane REALLY deserves to be CHIEF international correspondent. But it must be annoying to be so associated with war crimes and such.
Oh well.

HALA!!!

oh, and what's with all the whining about two ITME promos? More Hala, I say.

CNN 25

Because if you read this blog, you too are a CNN junkie:

CNN, the pioneer of 24-hour news, marks its 25th anniversary on June 1 with a special programme offering a front row seat to history while looking back at events that have touched the lives of people around the world over the last quarter century.

“Defining Moments: Stories that Touched Our Lives” is an intimate recounting of the biggest television news events from the past 25 years as told by the newsmakers and journalists who lived through them, from Christiane Amanpour in the Balkans, Brent Sadler in Beirut or Matthew Chance in Beslan.


“Defining Moments: Stories that Touched Our Lives” airs:
Wednesday June 1 at 1500, 2100 and 0200 CET
Saturday June 4 at 1300, 2300 and 0500 CET
Sunday June 5 at 1400 and 1900 CET
CNN Be the first to know


my concern: I haven't done the time zone calculations yet (no, that's not an attack on Hala), but I think some of these airdates will mess with Hala's shift.


edit: So I've gone, and I've checked the schedules, and Hala's shift is clear. Yay.
