Internet Radio @ MindSay

Hey --

First and foremost: thanks to all of you who made this past week's "Shiny Talks Too Much" internet radio show a huge success.  You can listen to it at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/shiny . A special thanks to Adam who was a great guest.  Thanks -- I hope we can do this again sometime!

And speaking of doing it again sometime: I'd like to do another show during the upcoming week.  And I'd love to have a special guest alongside whom I can interview.  Is that someone special someone from Mindsay? If so -- what would that person like to talk about?  If it's you, please respond at let me know and we can work something out.

Hope everyone had as good a time as I did!

"Shiny Talks Too Much" -- my internet radio show powered by BlogTalkRadio -- will return on Tuesday evening, March 4 at 9:00pm EST.  I'll be interviewing...

Well, question: do you guys want it to be a surprise?

UPDATE:  The masses have spoken, and no -- apparently you don't like surprises. That's cool.

I'll be interviewing Adam Ostrow, co-founder of Mindsay.  (You can find him at aostrow.)  We'll be talking about Mindsay and blogging and social communities in general. As always, you're welcome to call in and/or participate in the chat.

Oh -- if you want to hear my most recent show, here you go:

In my rush to finish things for end of the month- namely work and Mindmeld Project- I completely forgot it was the end of the month. Yes, yes, I know I'm stupid sometimes. Only the truly stupid can forget the very thing they are constantly remembering. It's a talent.

 

Here it is, September, and I ground-thrummingly forgot about creating a new header/theme and typing up August's movie list. Luckily, I have that list right beside little-ol', anal-retentive me. [Edited Update: I forgot I had been "doodling" with a header earlier this month, so I'm using it for August. I may play with is as we go along... adding text or other elements. Even if it stays untouched I'll be pleased, because I love summer skies. Good bye 70's Orange Lines.]

 

Movies (and a television series) I have seen in August: (italics mean I've seen it before)

• Scream 3 - A fine conclusion to the trilogy. And by fine I don't mean "detailed"... I mean "alright".
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake) - I honestly love this one and despise the first one.
• Chasing Amy - For some reason, this viewing left me cold. I couldn't stand the characters... well, except for Jay and Silent Bob.
• V for Vendetta - Surreal and comic-book awesome.
• Match Point - A beautifully executed movie that you don't want to waste your time on.
• Good Night and Good Luck - This movie is a must, if for no other reason than the history. Funny, sad and meaningful. The type of meaningful that each person
• Pulse - *shrugs* I liked some of the ideas behind what was going on but overall, "meh".
• Snakes on a Plane - The internet phenom that I was happily on board for- the movie being the exclamation point.
• Dead & Breakfast - Funny little horror-comedy. Not Shawn of the Dead caliber, though still good.
• Public Access - Terrible movie. No redeeming value. Everything was off kilter, like the idea behind the script was polluted by the directing and the actors rode rough shod over the lines. Potential? Yes. Disappointment? Yes.
• Veronica Mars, Season 2 - *happy sigh* I enjoy this shows wit, dialogue, characters, friendships, relationships, actors, directing. Even the music.
• Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy - I was very excited to watch this show, an inside look at the porn industry via the life of one of the most well-known performers. Besides some slightly titillating moments this movie was flaccid.

You got through my list. You get a reward. (Awe-inspiring.)

 

And because I'm very generous and feel like regifting, below you will see the three week absent Creativity Exchange. TheRacket is the birther of the words. Immaculate conception, don'cha know. And he spread the seed of thought to me so I could create the image. (Eww... TheRacket is (like) my Creativity Brother. That makes my whole analogy wrong. Just wrong.)

 

You can see the other half (a non-identical twin, if you will) of Creativity Exchange over at his journal.

 

Words are TheRacket's, image by me:

 

[fowl thoughts]

what
do you
think about when
you are eating birdseed?

the bluejay asked the cardinal

is it about the fine nuts
just beyond those crunchy hulls of darkness?

or the varied flavortextures dancing about your beak?

perhaps you reflect upon one your Uncle Charlie's jokes
or that foul bird who frightened you from your perch
on that extra fancy feeder just up Maxwell Street?

what do you think about? he asked again
tilting his blue head to one side
waiting for the redbird to respond

but the cardinal kept pecking
away at his meal

until at last
he said

nothing

Lastly, WTF Radio is happy to welcome back Shiny and SocKs. Shiny has picked out a wonderful Preshow as AAP will not be on tonight. WTF Radio is broadcast live on Fridays, 9PM (Central). Questions of the Week still need to be answered and Rematch of Vs. rematched.

1.) Do chimpanzees really enjoy eating bananas?

2.) Can a new color be made that is not like, or mixed from, any other?

1.) If you could inherit a comfortable home in any city in the world that you could use but not sell, where would you want it to be?

2.) If an actor no longer alive were to play you in a film, who would you cast in the role?
