Podcast!
Conrad and I are reading the devotional companion to "Your Best Life Now," and discussions have inspired us to think about our dreams. Conrad says it has always been his dream to be a radio personality, and that got me thinking once again about an idea I had about six months ago. Thusly, it looks like it's really going to happen now: a podcast!
Conrad, Jace and I are going to record our first podcast very soon! Conrad and I have been brainstorming; he has all the recording equipment, so that's no problem, and he knows how to edit; I'll be hosting it here after we complete it. We all know each other really well and are reasonably funny, so I think it will turn out pretty well. We haven't really narrowed down what we'll be talking about, but I think that will just sort of come naturally. Look for it in a few weeks!
To me, this is all anyone could ever want.
Brrr.
First day of spring, my ass.

So Jace obviously won the regional air guitar championship in Texas. Way to go King Tard! However, should he lose in New York, McSweeney's has some suggestions for alternate air activities.

In the interest of keeping me entertained at nearly 3 a.m. without a TV
The hot-or-not-ness of the mascots/spokespeople/etc. gracing the packaging of food items from my kitchen:
- Aunt Jemima: 7.0. Nice cheekbones, pretty smile. Points docked for outdated hairdo.
- Morton Salt Girl: 6.7. Pleasant face, but brassy hair color. Hot legs, though.
- Pillsbury Doughboy: 4.6. Bad figure--he's obviously not taking care of himself. Survey doesn't factor in his personality, unfortch.
- Country Creek Eggs Lady Chicken: 4.2. I don't do gobblers.
- Martha White: 7.2. Hard to say for sure, as I'm only seeing a silhouette here, but she's got pretty hair and long eyelashes. Looks potentially busty (score!).
- Quaker Oats Man: 2.0. The double chin has got to go, to say nothing of the powdered white hair and neckerchief. I thought oatmeal, like, made you skinny.
- Spiderman for Orville Redenbacher: 9.2. Those muscles! That badassitude! That unbelievable sticky substance he keeps shooting...wait.
- Genghis Kahn (?) for Celestial Seasonings Green Tea: 3.4. Might have the potential to be hunky, but the mustache-as-tentacles look is really creeping me out. You could be unwittingly strangled by those things if you got too close.
- Uncle Ben: 5.1. Kindly face, but balding and, well, just old.
- Sister Schubert (of yeast roll fame): 5.7. Average-to-pretty with nice dark eyes and hair, but the soccer-mom hair and knit turtleneck make her look dowdier than she is.
- Marie Callender: 6.0. Pretty face, nice nose. I like nice noses. Bizarro hair though! She's totally sporting some sort of pre-rockabilly rooster 'do.
- (Fisherman) Gorton: 4.3. Three words: Paddington Bear hat. Three more words: handlebar mustache club.
