The Last Crappy Hour. (No, really, I mean it this time.)

Hi Megan! What did you love most about Jezebel? What your favorite story you covered? And finally, how did you get to be so awesome??
10:05
Megan -  I have to admit, as much as I barely slept and subsisted entirely on caffeine, crudites and wine, covering the Democratic Convention last summer was really fucking cool.
10:05
The Brain of Megan -  Don't forget that sunburn!
10:08
Megan -  True, the eventual skin cancer might make it less cool in retrospect. But, as a blogger, I rarely get to leave the house, so to be walking around in the midst of the news, seeing Obama give his acceptance speech surrounded by "real" journalists and thousands of fans, that was really cool.

The Republican one was less so, despite the security being less of a clusterfuck because it definitely didn't have the size or the energy of the first one, and everything was so spread out it was impossible to get around easily or in a timely fashion. It was, however, very interesting to see the difference in the reactions of the people around me to Palin's and then McCain's speeches versus the comments on my live blogs and during Crappy Hours.

In your new position will you be able to be as free and snarky (please say yes!) that you have been on jezebel? Or will you feel a bit more muzzled?
10:11
Megan -  Well, I know for sure I won't be able to curse as much (which is to say: "at all.")
10:11
The Brain of Megan -  Fuck.
10:13
Megan -  But if they wanted someone to just write perfectly straight news copy, well, there's a recession on and a lot of media types out there unemployed as part of the 9.4% of Americans who are unemployed. So, a little bit yes, and a little bit know.
10:14
The Brain of Megan -  Just insert the swear words where you hear them in your head. That's what I always fucking do anyway.
10:18
Megan -  Ok, seriously, the jackhammering needs to stop outside. Thank God I'm not hungover.
