Meet the Press-- Ashleyverse Style (Saturday Edition)

Hello! Good afternoon! I've decided to "broadcast" a special Saturday edition of Meet the Press-- Ashleyverse Style, since there's so much happening everywhere right now.

For starters, there are unfortunately lots of natural disasters happening as we "speak." For example, Santiago, Chile, has been rocked by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake. Secondly, Hawaii will more than likely get slammed by a tsunami. Finally, the U.S. East Coast is getting its third round of winter storms. (I think I'm going to follow these items and report on them further in coming days.)

Secondly, in Olympics news, the big story atm is last night's men's 500-meter speedskating final. More specifically, heavily decorated (8 medals career total; 3 medals in Vancouver thus far) Apolo Anton Ohno was disqualified in the event after allegedly causing Canadian Francois-Louis Tremblay to fall during the race. Now, it has been ruled that Ohno will receive the bronze medal. Canadian Charles Hamelin won the gold, and South Korean Si-Bak Sung will take home the silver medal. (Aside: I have a wicked schoolgirl crush on Mr. Hamelin. Sadly, he's already taken.)

Finally, in Ashleyverse news, next week is mid-term week at EIU. Other than that, there's nothing else special going on, except that I'm waiting to hear whether or not I'll get the Eurotrip scholarship and/or the grad assistantship for next semester. (Fingers crossed, y'all!)

So, that wraps up this special Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010, edition of Meet the Press-- Ashleyverse Style. Until next time, peace, love, & happiness.
