Blame it on Mike Watkiss

Yes, it's Mike Watkiss' fault. I blame him and only him. It's because of him that I have not written a blog in a couple of months.

Why? Well, because since he started writing his: "Confessions of an ambulance chaser" blogs, I've become addicted to his stories. Although, I must admit I have always been Watkiss' biggest fan! From his days at the network shows to his debut in the movie Dumb and Dumber. Have you seen it? Yes, that's Mike Watkiss playing the role of himself...a reporter!

I never miss a story he does at Channel 3! He's a pro and an inspiration to us reporters. On top of that he's one cool dude! (Click the picture for a bigger image.)

And by the way, if you haven't read his blogs then STOP reading mine right now and go indulge yourself in real story-telling. After all, he's got a way with words and no one else can do it like Watkiss! You must read his blog about the time he got punched during an interview! Classic! Or how he's been fired from every single TV job he's had! Hilarious!

So if I don't come around here often, it's because of Watkiss. Besides Watkiss is far more fascinating! And by the way, I must investigate if he actually posted his own blog!!! You see, here's a little something about my friend Mike, he isn't very fond of computers or technology in general. That part where he writes about how his best scripts have been written on napkins...I bet my life it's true!

Anyway, adios. Take care! On a separate note...I also need advice. I'm heading to Spain in September, any ideas of a good place to stay? I've never been there and I'm going just for the heck of it! Any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Gracias!

Claudia

Even though our favorite old-school reporter still uses blue felt-tip pens to hand scrawl his scripts on actual paper -- he goes through legal pads like nobody I've seen -- Watkiss did actually bite the bullet, fire up his computer and post his own blogs. And like you, I'm loving every word!

Claudia,
I just got back from Barcelona. I really fell in love with the place. The beach, the mtns, the food, the funky, celebratory people. Gaudi's mark on the city is both unmistakable and gloriously colorful.
I'm not sure your style, but we rented a cool apt from cocoonbarcelona. They have really cool apts in the best areas of Barcelona, from party hoods to upper scale areas, and even the beach at Barcelonetta. THey have a web site. I wish I could offer more on Spain, but I've only just begun to explore it. Little by little. Have fun. Enjoy some paella, rioja and all night dancing (if you like that ever).

I wanted you to know what an absolutely beautiful job that you did to honor Jim Cox. Your words were sincere & from the heart. You did a wonderful job with your lovely memorial. He was blessed to have a friend like you :-)
