Brett and I talk…
about babies, Gilroy garlic fries, San Francisco, marbles, boobs, Prince, email prowess, 9/11, living abroad, sports, private part “contests”,  naked taboo, Brett’s wedding, martial arts, etc, etc…

Audio issues, apparently my mic only does well with whoever is directly in front of it.

Some accompanying material:

Something Found - this week a listener wrote an impressively love email where questions and comments were itemized for each show I've posted.  Because I'm lazy and because it inspired some topics for babble - here's my response.

It was raining out and I'm once again sick, now drink up the airborne and enjoy. 

…forgive me, I fell down a well – that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

 Love(s)
Free mass transit fare, Pump Energy Kitchen, losing weight, my short hair, being incognito, Fall, time outside with friends (and booze), giggling, Dana / Blarm / Wankergirl, chapstick, being a squatter, beer, THE BEACH, family reunions, swimming in the ocean, chronicling, celebration, “Monopoly" money, MTV’s Fat Camp, being too cool for “that”, Hercules, taking time off when I need it, pleasing myself…

Hate(s)
Being sour grapes, taxi strike in NY, smelly boy dirty laundry smell, Boratisms, laundry laziness, bad days at work, feeling burned out, gaining weight, bad photos, migraines, when friends are hurt, being without chapstick, not rinsing after exfoliating, new “Monopoly”, cell phones at summer camp, when take-out goes bad, doing it “wrong”…

Want(s)
To have people do my laundry for me, a haircut, to be uninhibited, a new chapstick, “Monopoly” not to progress, to not be the old person, to fight authority at slumber camp, brown rice with tonight’s dinner, to figure it all out, to do it “right”, feedback on what you Love!…

A few minutes of my long walk in the sand and surf.

Updates soon on the makeover as it will be in the very near future. If you can see the picture I set in itunes, it was taken after my last massive chop a number of years ago.

Some thoughts on what I'll be looking for in the less near future.

Nicole,
We noticed your resume on Craigslist and would like to speak to you about coming in for an interview. Please call me at your earliest convenience.
Regards,

I realize I should probably give you a head’s up since this sort of weirded me out.
This is assuming I even go in for an interview; this is all I know at the moment anyway.
Suffice it to say, I wound up back in NY.
Hope all is well,
Nicole

Hi there,
Mercury is in retrograde, isn't it? Any number of strange goings on are surrounding me at the moment, so this is only natural. ; ) I was actually just talking *name removed*, our recruiter, a few hours ago about positions that we need to fill (both in my group and beyond.) Which position are you applying for?
*boring stuff removed*
I'm happy you're back in New York, assuming it's where you want to be. *company name removed* would be lucky to have you, but be warned that this place is a mess in upper management. If you're seriously looking for a job I'd be happy to put in a good word for you. I do have a little pull in this place. ; )
Hope all's well,
--*name removed*

The email was from *name removed* and sent a few hours ago. How funny! You should tell her you heard from a friend who you’d highly endorse.
*boring stuff removed*
Being back is an odd thing. It was sudden and not under great circumstance, but in then end I can only rely on the idea that it will all work out of the best. I suppose there are worse places to return to and at least I gave it a try and got to know a great city.

I'll definitely give *name removed* my endorsement, and I gather now that you aren't even aware what the position is. I know we're hiring for several Production Editor and Editor positions across the company, including a job in my group. I'm guessing it would be a little too wonky to be working directly in my group, though, yes? I should tell her you're perfect for the *specific removed* division.

Song: A Little Rain, by Robin Tymm

More vague chatter about where things are now as I continue to speak to Mr. A and the frustration that comes along with it.

So this podcasting thing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. After some minor editing to cut some annoying background noise that comes along with sitting outside and recording - I found it had this patchwork effect that is even less pleasing than hearing the sound of my own voice. Rather than scrap it altogether, I'm going to put it out 'as is' and consider it a lesson learned. I promise future improvement on the audio quality front.
