Can someone please recommend some other radio programs I could download that are like TAL but not TAL? Is there such a thing? I listened to the finalists of the Third Coast Fest. on Thanksgiving, and that was pretty fun, they were good, but I was wondering if there is more stuff out there that I could download or buy individual eps or something. You know, for pedagogical purposes.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess Car Talk wouldn't qualify, huh? I love Car Talk. but I don't even know if you can download it.

Fun facts about attorneys:

* 15-18% of attorneys will have substance abuse problem vs. 10% of general population.
* Over 1/3 of attorneys say they are dissatisfied and would choose another profession if they could.
* Attorneys have the highest rates of depression and suicide of any profession.

aw, Jenny! you shall be a happy attorney, though!

Eh, not Car Talk. I want "interesting stories" that "stimulate conversation." Documentary radio.

Here's a good place to start, though.

Ok. Thankee. I need some new material. I didn't think I would run out so quickly, but I'm losing steam.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

That wasn't a link to Cartalk, just FYI. It's to a program call Radio Lab:

Radio Lab® is an investigation. Each episode is a patchwork of people, sounds, stories and experiences centered around One Big Idea. On RadioLab, science bumps into culture... information sounds like music.

Radio Lab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder, who are curious about the world but who also want to be moved and surprised.

As much as people hate on hipsters, a lot of them are pretty hot.

okay, I just made an appointment for tomorrow. and I told them you referred me, Jenny. yay!

An old snaggletoothed barmaid in Berkeley, Calif., took no small delight in describing to me what a merkin was.

I'm bummed I couldn't keep the domino effect going. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

domino effect? I didn't see your post about Orbit Sal0n until after I made the appointment, John. but if I ever get my hair cut again, I will totally try it. Chicago, all of you whom I have met have lovely hair and I completely trust your recommendations.

pretty!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

(Leanne is friends with my brother's ex. Therefore my brother sees her [or at least he did when he lived in Chicago]. Therefore I see her. Therefore Kelsey sees her. Therefore several of Kelsey's and my friends see her. Etc.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

My hair used to be that color. :(
I am experiencing red hair envy lately.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Since I see you so rarely, I still picture you with red hair.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Hehe. In a way I sort of feel like I grew out of it, but sometimes I miss it.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

The ugly downside to the dyeing-hair-red equation is the prospect of becoming Crazy Old Lady Who Dyes Her Hair Red, a la Judy Baar Topinka. Or worse. I chose dignity.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I love red hair. what color is yours now, Amanda?

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

my roommate got her hair cut at orbit by some guy who had been recommended to her--now she rolls out of bed with her hair looking great, it's crazy. so another recommendation for orbit.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

The hair is currently a dignified brown. Dark brown. My natural color. With dyed red hair there is the constant feeling of knowing that the hair is not real, that there are people who have beautiful, thick, lovely, naturally red hair and that I am NOT and will never be one of them. It feels vaguely shameful for some reason. At least after 10 years it did.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I get that. though one of my friends dyes her hair red, and people are constantly shocked she's not a natural redhead.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

People said that to me too! It didn't change the fact that I was not a natural redhead.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

(XPOST) Yeah, and since I met you when you had red hair -- which never once looked obviously dyed -- your current shade still looks unnatural to me!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i lurve red heads, always have.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Even fake ones?

John, I meant to tell you and/or Kr. that I like her new hair color. Looks very nice on her. I'm not sure how "new" it is, but it's very flattering.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I'll tell her! It's a couple months old. (Gmail sez Sept. 22.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, even the fake ones. if it's not too shitty on saturday i'm gonna get some coffee and go down to michigan ave and do some people watching.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I toy with the idea of dying my hair but then I think about upkeep and then I just leave it.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I used to fuck with my hair all the time -- bleaching it, dying it magenta or blue, making it spikey, shaving it completely (you all remember the last time I did that). None of those things made me prettier.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

It's very much like an addiction. Don't do it. I got very accustomed to a technicolor version of myself and now, without it, I always feel hopelessly mousy. It's worse than meth*!

*I know nothing about how bad meth is.

ALERT: Fishport on Jackson is closed. La Cocina and Chicken Planet are unaffected, thank god.

I hate hemroidal. It's a stupid story, but basically it goes like this:
* I was in charge of ordering beverages for the office
* bossman decided it was too expensive
* Hemroid was given the new duty of driving to costco to buy drinks instead
* I told her over a week ago we were almost out of diet coke
* In the meantime, we've also run out of bottled water
* She storms in today and is accosted by a bunch of people at once, "We need water! We need water!"
* She glares at me and says, "Sarah! You did not tell me we were out of water."
* I say, "I told you when we were almost out of diet coke. I figured you'd ask me what else we needed before you went to costco."
CATFIGHT!
See? Wasn't that story boring and uninteresting? I tried to warn you.

Anyway, screw her.
