Superstar
I walked out of school today after taking a grueling three-hour final in Contracts II - anyone wanna know about anticipatory repudiation? Didn't think so! As I rounded the corner onto Jackson Boulevard, I espied the normal gaggle of TV news reporters as they jockeyed for position to broadcast the latest news about the Governor Ryan trial. Yes! I thought to myself. It was exactly 5 o'clock. These newshounds would be going on the air anytime now.
I did what any self-respecting 26-year-old guy might do. I called Christy, and told her to put on Channel 7. I said look out for a guy doing a live remote shot outside the Federal Courthouse. Then I said, look in the background! I waltzed on by, and Christy squealed with delight: "I can see you!!!" I turned around for a second pass, but by then the report had ended. Anyway, Christy took a picture of her TV screen. Here's my 2 seconds of fame:
That TV reporter fellow has no idea he was in the presence of such greatness. Yes, I am a loser. I think this picture bears a resemblance to another famous sighting:
In my defense, at least I didn't do anything like this.

Tim Osgood, Bigfoot. Equally mythical, equally implausible.
