Got Some Podcasts For You

Do you listen to podcasts? I love them, and I'm always looking for new ones. Here are my current favorites:

Car Talk -- Especially relevant now as my car enters its twilight years months.

Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me! -- Last week PJ O'Rourke was on!

How to Do Everything -- From the folks who created WWDTM. The hosts' voices are very Schweddy-Balls, but the podcast is very funny. Tom Bodett's advice on how not to look like a n00b in Alaska was terrific.

Judge John Hodgman -- John Hodgman does a fine Judge Judy smackdown. This is so awesome, you really have to give it a try. I need to listen to some of the other podcasts on Maximum Fun.

WTF with Marc Maron -- this week's interview is Conan, and they talk about Flannery O'Connor (among other things).

Do you have any to add?

PS to Grams-- A podcast is a radio show that you listen to over the Internet. You can listen whenever you like on their websites; you don't have to tune in at a certain time. And no matter what anyone tries to tell you, you do NOT have to install iTunes. All of the podcasts listed above are free.

    "This American Life" cuz I can never get everybody to leave me alone long enough to listen to the whole thing when it's broadcast, and sometimes I cry.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega...
