Final Blog Post

PROGRESS:

First off, let me say that I just had THIS ENTIRE POST almost finished, and safari just had to go and "quit unexpectedly." Great. Anyways, I'll try and do my best to do this whole thing over. I'm happy to say that we have been spending some quality time in the editing suite at MTN over the past week or so. Most of our time has been comsumed by the editing and cutting of the interview, which is the integral part of our documentary since it is an expert opinion on the issue of pandhandling. We came up with an idea today to get some people on camera who aren't experts on the subject, and just ask them one simple question - "what do you do when you see a panhandler?" This is the main focus of our documentary, so we thought some non-expert opinions would add to our overall piece. It's going to be a lot of work, but I think we can come up with a quality finished product by the Monday deadline.

READING RESPONSE:

So I'm pretty sure I did not receive the correct reading assignment for this week's blog due to our time spend at MTN, so I'm going to react and respond to something that I read this morning in the sports page while eating my tasty Eggo waffle - Kevin Love, and his consecutive double-double streak, which is currently at 52 games. Fifty-two! That's double-digit numbers in at least two scoring categories, most commonly for him points and rebounds. I think that this is an amazing feat, especially in today's NBA, which is all about size and power. Love stands 6' 10", which by today's standards is not a giant in the NBA. He plays much larger than he actually is; snagging rebounds on both the offensive and defensive end. His effort and passion for the game is something to admire - he plays the game like it should be played, and has fun doing it. He's one of the very few bright spots on this year's Minnesota Timberwolves squad, who currently hold the worst record in the NBA. Keep doing your thang, K-Love, we're all pulling for you.
