Happy New Years Eve, everyone! I’m ending 2009 with a mini-bang of sorts. My write-up on Rick Ross’ “Hustlin” appeared in NPR Music’s “Songs We Love” series to celebrate the release of Def Jam’s 25th Anniversary Box Set. Also be sure to check out friend and colleague Laurenellen McCann’s ditty on Sisqo’s “Thong Song.”
It’s only appropriate that this story published today, because today, I’m attending my first Georgetown basketball game of the 2009-2010 season. Go Hoyas!
Thanks for all the support from friends and family in 2009, and here’s to a happy and healthy 2010 for all.
This is a text my Mom sent me yesterday evening. (She doesn’t text often.)
R u still at work
Hope u r well
Lol
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. Love you, Mom!
Edit (12/15/09): Apparently, “lol” — to a slightly more mature generation — is short for “lots of love,” not “laugh out loud.” I still think it’s funny.
I updated the “Portfolio” tab of Gitnerblog today. If you find yourself twiddling your thumbs and surfing the web, cruise on over here and check out some of my work. Regular Gitnerblog readers may have seen most of what’s up, but I encourage you to look anyway.
Since my internship at NPR is winding down, expect some more activity at Gitnerblog over the holidays as I reflect on my experience and mull over what comes next.
