Part 1 -- So How About That Weather?Self-explanatory, right?Part 2 -- MoreviMy utterly unnecessary review of the original "Morevi: The Chronicles of Rafe and Askana."  They're doing a remastered version now, but I wanted to get the review done, so...Part 3 -- Under ConstructionTinkering with Changeling Turkey, Facebook, and Twitter.  Too many distractions, but it's kinda fun."It Doesn't Suck" list:  A tune from Charlie Ray Glasgow of 10 States, Minnesota called "2nd Hand Heart."Theme music still from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 1 -- I Smoke WrongI've smoked for 24 years, two packs a day, and I'm apparently not addicted to nicotine.  Go figure.Part 2 -- WastelandMy review of "Wasteland," the latest book/season in Mur Lafferty's "Heaven"  podcast novel series on Podiobooks.com.  Had to kinda review the whole series to make sense of it, though.Part 3 -- Drunks & Crazy PeopleI take a long walk home.  Twice.From the "It Doesn't Suck" List: Featuring "20 Years" from Shaan Sharma, out of Minneapolis Minnesota.  One of the prettiest Alternative Rock songs I've heard a long time.Themes are still from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 1 -- Employment WantedI've been thinking about work.  I'm a telemarketer, and for me, that's a special sort of hell.Part 2 -- Silly MeAs I've mentioned, I can't always tell if people are kidding me.  Contrary to the impressions some people have, that doesn't mean I'm stupid.  Just a bit trusting maybe, and often confused, certainly.  But not stupid.Part 3 -- Strange Days IndeedAt Champs, people behaved very strangely to me.  I didn't get angry or upset about it.  It just slid off me, like water off a ducks back, as they say.And a little bit at the end about money.Featured from the iDSL: "20 Degrees" from Jeb Nome, on Garage Band.Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 1 -- A Little Too Big a Celebrity -- Trying to hear people talking to me in noisy places, including the drunk guy who said something about a "stalker."Part 2 -- Chow Time -- The wine tasting at Champs, and karaoke again.  Meeting another pretty girl.  Ah, the life of a star.Part 3 -- The Geek in the Corner -- playing with my computer in bars, or reading.  Unusual, but it's something to do.IDSL Feature, "2 Step" from "$Muny Getta$" on Garageband.Theme Music from Kevin MacLeod.

I did have a great plan.  Unfortunately, I'd forgotten one important factor.  Oh, well.  Did manage to do two interviews.  Toady, the Karaoke DJ from Champs, and a young fella named Mike.What's Karaoke like for a guy who can't stand noise or crowds much?My review of "Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword," by Tee Morris.  A hard-boiled detective novel, with a little sex, violence, magic, gangsters, gals, and guns.  And it appears, sequels.  Which is a very good thing.Featuring "Get Good and Gone," from Owen Poteat -- Get well soon.And "2 of 7" from "Company Incorporated," which Doesn't Suck.Too bad the Big 50 Plan didn't work out.  Maybe next year?Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.  (But watch this space...)

I've been hearing from old friends from Blackthorne Repertory Theatre lately, which is pretty cool.  Amazing how this Internet search stuff works.  Didn't know anybody'd even be searching, much less finding such stuff.  Got my first donation today!  So now the show is officially "Sponsored by Donations from People Like You," just like the big guys.  And, while I'd somewhat lost heart, I'm told my show "has heart," even though I still don't know what the darn thing's about.  Today, it's about 30 minutes...Did a brief review of "Nina Kimberly the Merciless," by Christiana Ellis.  Kinda funny, but also sad and touching in some ways.  Maybe that's just me?  Recommended.Featuring "Don't Wake Me Please" by Owen Poteat.  Very pretty.Theme music from Kevin MacLeod, as per usual.

Found on Podcast Pickle I had messages from 14 New Fans!  Oh, really?  No, not so much, they appear to be fake.  What's up with that?Also, my take on "South Coast: A Shaman's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper," by Nathan Lowell.  Good book, kind of "old school," but in a good way.  I've missed this kind of writing, and I'm glad to see it come back.Featuring from the "It Doesn't Suck" list, "1913 Arms" from Porcelain Frogs (Elevations).Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.

After watching "School of Rock," with Jack Black, I had the thought, "Dang, I wish I'd become a teacher."  Probably a bad idea for a number of reasons, but even so.By the way, "186,000 Miles per Second" from "The Late" officially Doesn't Suck, now.  Congratulations!Theme music from Kevin MacLeod.

Another story from the Brothers' Grimm, "Hans in Luck."  And my opinions on the story, for the little they're worth.  I think it went rather well, though.I ran into someone at the Androy the other day who'd apparently heard the last story, and thought "You'd be great with kids."  I think I'd be terrible with kids, not that I wouldn't try hard.  I'm much more comfortable with microphones & computers & such.Any opinions on how the whole storytelling thing is going, folks?  I'm enjoying it, and I do hope you are.Themes: "Continue Life," "Sovereign" and "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

I finally finished "The Golden Bird."  Sorry it took me so long.  And I even critiqued the story a bit.  Don't know how much sense it makes to do a review of a story several centuries old.  That's just how I roll.Themes: "Continue Life," "Sovereign" and "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.
