2009-07-17 An Honest Man

I totally forgot to mention that I did something absolutely extraordinary the other week. Something I haven't done in five years. Something that hardly anybody ever does. Something so outrageously exotic that I had to drive around for half an hour on my bike to find a place to do it. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Here goes:

I BOUGHT A CD !!!

I know! I feel so honest now! And it's not even for myself, mind you. It's the latest Wilco album (lazily titled "the album") for Kristine. Being married to their number one fan does make a difference.

Also, I failed to mention Bullet in the software roller coaster post. Just saying.

My latest podcast/audio book discoveries:

Seventh Son If you enjoyed the clone wars, then this is for you. If you like logical story development, then don't bother.

The Metamor City Podcast Short stories and a story arc, located in a city where vampires, magic and psi powers are only a few more things people who live in a big city have to deal with.

The Failed Cities Monologue Sin City goes audio. That pretty much says it all.

Shadowmagic A boy learns the hard way that his dad is the prince of a fantastic land where people don't age and magic really works. No wonder he insisted that his son would learn how to use a sword!

Electricity The author of How To Disappear Completely brings you a pointless story about a pointless life, presented in one of the best English reading voices I have heard yet.
