I can’t believe I’m actually about to type this, but if the last couple of kinks are worked out successfully I will wait my last table on May 1, 2005. That Sunday morning I will ask for the last time if you want something to drink. In a week and a half I may never tie on an apron again. Starting in just nine days I’m going to come home from work and not smell like food. Instead I’m going to smell like a blog.

WKRN News2, the station that aired that story on bloggers in which I was included, has asked me to join their team as a full-time blogger. My actual title is still to be determined, but Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 I’ll be blogging directly from the station’s news room just behind the anchors and weather desk and lights and camera and action. I’ll be responsible for writing and editing the content of WKRN’s newest website, a blog called Nashville is Talking. The blog will be an extention of the News2 broadcasts as well as a general news/gossip/happenings site that will revolve around all things Music City. Local blogs will be aggregated at the right of the page, but the left side will be produced solely by yours truly. The aim of the site is to create discussion and dialogue about local events and topics–a subjective narrative with feedback from Nashville readers. Of course, those outside of Tennessee are welcome to comment, but the blog will be very Nashville-centric.

AND THEY WANT ME TO RUN IT!

There is just one tiny snag to wrinkle out and then it’s a done deal: Professional. Blogger. Who the fuck woulda thunk it? Seriously, yay me.

Can you have seperate checks? More lemon? Extra grilled vegetables? NO YOU CAN’T, CAUSE I’M BUSY BLOGGIN’ AND GETTIN’ PAID FOR IT. COMMENT ON THAT, FOOLS.
