podcasts

i am making a concerted effort to stay more informed about the news and politics. i installed itunes on my laptop for work, so now i can subscribe to a bunch of podcasts and listen while i work.

one of my favs which i have become recently re-acquainted with is the rachel maddow show (TRMS). i used to listen when we streamed the radio on hi-jacked internet in my old lab. we felt like hackers, scamming internet just to listen to talk radio. my buddy, marky and i were especially guilty in the evenings when no one was around...we worked late. anyway, he introduced me to air america to keep up on the politics.

i have since forgotten about rachel but my flame for her has been re-ignited. i admit, i have a crush on this smart girl. c'mon, she's cute. cute and smart and funny. how can you blame me? just announced this week, she's getting her own show on MSNBC, sweet, i say. except for the fact that they 'girl her up' for television. i still appreciate her brain.

anyway, i barely have time for music anymore between the BBC, rachel, NPR, the new yorker and learning spanish. i might have to cut down on emailing. he he he.

that's my story.

p.s. see, she's cute. i told you.

yeah, i know. i was prepared for some backlash. he he he. and this also doesn't mean that i don't find other people (i.e. wives, friends from england and other) cute, funny and smart. see?
