First and foremost, I would like to wish all of you a Happy Valentine's day! Due to the fact that we did not meet at all last week (I have had enough snow for 2010!), I doubt that many of you will be checking the blog Sunday- and be ready for a quiz Monday. Your quiz and posting on this update will be due Tuesday (2.16.2010).

The new Harry Potter? Percy Jackson is gaining some attention...

Very sad news for fans of Deadliest Catch.

What a Weekend!

I hope that you have power and are able to at least enjoy the Super Bowl! Please remember that there is no blog update this week, but you do have the commercial assignment due Monday and the Radio listening assignment due Wednesday.

If you don't have power and cannot complete the commercial assignment, we can figure out some sort of alternative assignment.
