I haven't written much this week because there really isn't much to talk about. I've been designing the Metro section most days, which is actual news, so I have to work from 2 to 10. I don't want to complain, but what am I supposed to do for five hours while I'm waiting to go to work?
The Metro section is kind of fun, though - I get to learn about the city and I sort of like the excitement of being on deadline. It's a different kind of design, though, one that's more like putting a puzzle together than creating an interesting package. I have to say, I like features design better.
Yesterday, I went downtown in the morning and realized that I had missed the annual Pikes Peak Rodeo Breakfast by, I don't know, half an hour. Dang. When I got there, there were still huge blocks of hay in the middle of one of the busiest intersections of downtown, though, so at least I got some interesting photos.
I also went to the Pioneer Museum downtown. It's actually a lot more interesting than it sounds - it talks about the first people to climb Pikes Peak, and the history of the mining industry in the West. There was also a little section about Native Americans, which I enjoyed. The best part ws that the museum was free. Yep, I'm poor.
hay!
