FM Minute-by-Minute



Pound beers. Hold writers’ meeting. Get very enthusiastic about the story idea about this guy in Matthews a writer’s roommate



  1. Pound beers.

  2. Hold writers’ meeting. Get very enthusiastic about the story idea about this guy in Matthews a writer’s roommate hooked up with. It seems he has a penchant for tucking in his shirt. Amazing!

  3. Hold editors’ meeting. Veil intragroup hostility under thin veneer of civility and shooting down each other’s ideas.

  4. Hit the hard liquor.

  5. Check up on previously assigned stories. None are in, none have been researched.

  6. Pound beers.

  7. Drunkenly sing the score to the HMS Pinafore at the Crimson. Incur News’ resentment, wrath.

  8. Get deluged with offers from compers to write Listings. At least, that happens in my drunken haze. In real life, I end up writing them all.

  9. Articles are in! Put certain commas in and take certain commas out, just for la.ug.h..s.

  10. Suggest running SpellCheck. Enjoy a hearty chuckle at this ridiculous proposition.

  11. Hope that the gremlins in the Crimson’s computers don’t pixelate our photos. Hope is vain.

  12. Fight off sleep with beer, prescription medicine. Somehow get issue done.

  13. Hand off to delivery men, proud of a job, well, done, if nothing else.

  14. Delivery men deposit FM in landfill instead of your room.

  15. Delivery men pick up checks. And the cycle begins all over, with more beer.
