random incoherence and infantile meanderings

1. Geek of all Trades Episode #24: – Think I finally laughed out loud at a RightWing joke. Amazing, considering my laugh of humor.
2. Weather Child Chapter Twenty-two – Nearing the end of the tale. I can’t wait to see how it ends. I wonder if it will even attempt to answer all the questions I have left.
3. StarShipSofa Aural Delights No 95 Ken Scholes
4. Talking About Stuff #150 – This is my first TAS episode and I found it quite a surprise that Christiana manages to be amusing. That was an attempt at witty sarcasm.
5. PodCastle 63: Daughter of Botu – I listened to the first five minutes of this episode at least 6 times today. Despite that, I thought this was a nice tale and that it was well read. I didn’t quite “agree” with an action towards the finale, but I can totally see how it is an arguable point.

5 hours of podcasts. I have no idea how I managed that considering I was actually too busy to listen today.

I was just listening to a recent episode of Weather Child (by PIP!). This is the part where we find out about how Faith and Waramu(sp?) come to be joined.

And, as I do, I was following along on twitter a week ago when Pip was talking about how it was based on what actually happened to her grandmother or great-aunt. I got the impression that the events were highly disgusting and most extreme. I think I remember folks responding to the episode with comments about feeling squeemish or other related feelings.

The funny thing is that now that I have listened to the episode and actually know what happens… well, it isn’t really all that special. Then again, I work in a manufacturing plant. I know of three people, off hand, who have had extremely similar events befall them. For one of them, I was the poor shmuck who had to clean up the gore left over.

(Don’t get me wrong, it was shocking and disgusting. IRL.) Read more
