secret comics

dressed like captain bicycle

...this new one's like a cyberg...

(plus it has the official secret comics' jam of january)

(also, it has me saying "interstitial" way too much -- too much being like more than once)

the first one seemed to go over pretty well, so... [there went the second podcast]

don't think me overly-enthusiastic, but it is kind of fun.  i'll try and not burn myself out while this is a new thing

and yes, i'm working on the "um's".  unless, um, you like them or whatever

wait... jesus christ did i say the hold theady?!?

ok, the first comics podcast has been taken down.  but i guess that means i'll keep putting new and hypothetically better ones up and trying to revise a little history

old notes:

the first secret comics podcast, but whatever [note: this makes no sense now].  get it now 'cause it it may be gone soon.  maybe not.  i went ahead and converted it to an mp3 so everyone (not just apple folks, and/or people at work or whatever who don't have access to their apples or whatever) could download and listen to it at the gym or whatever.  it's pretty good for working out to i think

--it sounds like i say "billy blanca".  i am really saying "billy bonka".  as a member of the fourth estate i guess i need to work on enunciating

--that blog i mention is here.  more hold steady goodness therein

--maybe people would just like songs and no chatter from me.  we'll see

--i know my rant about itunes sounds a little paranoid.  of course i can burn cds of songs i download from itunes... but only x number of copies of each playlist, and that sucks.  a bunch of things about itunes... well, about drm in general, really suck.  it's not only apple/itunes' fault i guess.  i still get nervous.  i still like having hard copies of my music, but i dunno... i don't like having people telling me how i can and can't use the music i supposedly "own".  that's all

--ok, i am definitely have problems uploading the podcast in its original size.  so i cut the bit rate down a bit, which may make it unlistenable for some of the audio snobs out there.  i didn't really cut it down so much, just enough to get the damn thing up on the blog. remember, this is a work in progress.  we're all works in progress.  let's be nice to ourselves, ok?  ok

so it is snowing... quite a lovely little surprise really.  now much (any) is accumulating on the ground (yet), but from my window on the 16th floor i can see a little blanket on the downtown austin rooftops.  i have opened the blinds to enjoy the sight, though it is letting the chill in and i have now put my scarf on indoors.  what tiny baby snowflakes.  everything is bigger in texas, my ass.  our snow is pretty liteweight, though i suppose we love it for what it is.  shit i have to close the blinds now, a pretty strong chill is seeping in to the office that my gay harry potter scarf isn't gonna be able to block out for long.  fuck, i have to work.

oh wait, i don't think it is snowing anymore.

damn.  the office is closed for the second day in a row... well, today for the weather, yesterday for dr. king's birthday.  i am again one of the few people up here because i am a sucker plus i did not know the office was going to close when i scraped the thick ice crust off my car and pried open the frozen-shut doors and came up here (a true american hero) and also when i work i get paid so fuck a bunch of sitting around doing nothing... like blogging.  at work.  crap

how a resurrurection really feels

well, the computer is back... a new computer anyway.  a better computer.  faster.  stronger.  smarter.  it has quite the hold on me.  eerily like christine, actually.

so... do i start this whole thing again?  maybe.  baby steps, though.
