"False advertising 101. So, I went to some fast food places (I won’t say “restaurants”, just “places”), and picked up burgers and tacos, so I could compare them with the ads. (I’m always on the hunt for little projects like this. Stoked.) I brought the food home, tossed it into my photography studio, and did ad-style shoots, with pictures of the official ads on my computer next to me, so I could match the lighting and angles. - People around the world know fast food as one of the most reliable distributors of disappointment ever produced by the business world. We know that if we ever feel the need to complain about something, we can just grab a page out of a coupon booklet, adorned in pictures of juicy burgers, go to a fast food place, then have a party. Why, the places themselves usually plaster their walls with pictures of juicy burgers – often hanging right over your table – so that you need only open your eyes to find something to compare your food with, while you eat it. Needless to say, the results of my little project were unsurprising… which shouldn’t be a surprise."

Stephen's school looks like a nice place. However, I think they may have bitten off a little more than they can chew when they say they are going to expand his vocabulary. The last time I tried to measure his reading level I had to stop because the site only went up to Grade 9. He's starting Grade 2.
Stephen: You got fired? Me: Yep. Him: Again? Me: Yep. Him: Does that mean you get to spend more time with me? Me: Yep. Him: Hurray!!!! Yeah, it's going to be all right.
Whoa, we're awfully prominent in that article. I didn't realize I was giving verbatim quotes. I suppose I should always try to speak in print-ready quotes when I'm talking ot reporter types.

I love being able to spend time with the kids while they are off of school this week, but I will be glad when next week comes so I can get back to my normal recording schedule. I have three podcasts just marinating in my brain, waiting to be spat out.
My newest podcast is online. SciFi Noise. The site was thrown up last night before I went to bed and it has just been submitted to iTunes. The first episode was recorded weeks ago, but I finally put everything together yesterday. There is a lot of swearing in it and an impression of Jack Bauer that I am personally proud of. Oh and it is my 700th...

OK, this misted me up: I wanted to give him some money for his gasoline expenses. ‘No,’ says Marty, ‘I’ve already been paid,’ and he takes out a picture one of the boys had made for him. It was a picture of Marty and across the top it read, ‘I want to be like you.’”

I need to join the organization so that I get info on when the shows are. Every single time I've gone I've had a great time, and I always make food for the pot luck. That's my favorite part!
