And In Other News: Just Us Girls

Lions%20at%20Buckley%27s.JPGCornichon doesn't watch much TV anymore, now that we're not getting paid to produce shows or critique them. Just The Daily Show at 11, then lights out. But TDS is on hiatus for the holidays, and there's all this freakish weather to worry about in Seattle these days, so we flipped on Channel Five's newscast last night.

There was Lori Matsukawa, we remember her. And Mimi Jung, that's right. Saw her once next to Allen Schauffler on a weekend newscast. How cool is that? Two Asian females co-anchoring. And no big deal, either. (Not even a press release. Maybe it's an almost-everyday thing by now.)

Now the big story: tomorrow's weather. We're just catching the audio now, a voice like Sarah Palin! What, the meteorologist's a woman, too? Shannon O'Donnell, haven't seen her before.

By the time Lisa Gangel comes on with sports, we've figured it out: except for Jim Foreman's live feed from somewhere (count on Jim to be out in the storm), all the KING's men are either on Mastodon Duty or home baking cookies.
