Enjoyed a magazine bootcamp today sponsored by the ASBPE and MAP, a new association started by the Missouri School of Journalism. It was great to see a few old professors again and get a refresher course filled with incredible design and writing tips. It was also a little depressing to see examples of some truly beautiful magazines. Ah, what a large budget and talented people can do on paper.
Although I don't work for such a glossy book, I do have one bragging right. I'm one of the few journalists in attendance today that when asked what degree she'd earned could proudly proclaim "I got a B.J.!" Yep, Bachelor's of Journalism. (M.S.J. not as amusing.) Immature behavior never quite loses its appeal...

Hey, thanks for the link! (But I am so lazy, there is nothing new to read!) I promise "attack of the killer pigs" is coming soon. Also, I have some thoughts about car salesmen/having kids that I might share (the topics are related -- in my head, anyway), and Gracie Pooch is always amusing -- she is mad the Puma has his photo up there. Pchit! will have some new stuff up today -- even a reference to MM, whom Mr. Clean is boycotting, especially after the birthday entry!
Yay! I'm still giddy about the success of the workshop. (And I'm probably giving myself far to much credit for that success. It was really due to great speakers. Don Ranly was FABULOUS.)
Kat got a BJ (which, as a female, should you really be getting one of those?) and I'm a BSer. HA!
And, darn it, I forgot a comma.
It’s too much pressure posting to your bog, Kat. Other editors read it. And how am I ever to gain respect if I go around lazily typing in comments, leaving out commas and failing to correct mistypes? And don’t even get me started with my tendency to split infinitives.
Wait, they could also link to my blog, read it, and lose respect for me that way. Never mind, screw the comma. I've got bigger worries.
And, yes, I know it's a blog, not a bog. That's it. TheCallowQueen is denied typing privileges for the rest of the day.
Callow Queen, your exuberance comes through even in the blogging world!! : ) But I won't suspend you from leaving comments...just quite yet.
Yes, Don's always fabulous. It was a bit of a homecoming for me...made me want to return to the fold and immerse myself in the brilliance of Don (and Jen). Ahhh.
