iTunes gave me a little present this evening as I sat down to get some web work done. A new Ricky Gervais Podcast. I was instantly reminded of why I love to podcast myself and why I think our Television Zombies podcast is so good. Laughter. We laugh and laugh and this is rad.
This week's show is late, as is everything for me this week. But it is seriously good. It will be available Friday morning. Jeff and I have really built something rad with Television Zombies and I haven't blogged about this much. Not only is it a podcast, but it is turning into a really cool little site/blog. Not only are Jeff, Jake and I blogging over there, but now we have Jonah and Chris writing. I didn't know so many people in my circle of friends had the same taste in television as Jeff and I do. From their wonderful work on the blog to the listeners' emails that we have been getting, I think we have struck a cord with people. There are folks out there who want to watch good TV and not mindless cops, doctor or lawyer shows!
Anyway... I like it when new projects get a life of their own and succeed. I can see myself doing this project for years to come and this is comforting. I think some day I would like to talk for a living, into a microphone, in a dark room, laughing with my friends.
Anyway, check out the writing on Television Zombies and also search iTunes for Ricky Gervais.
And you thought I didn't have a podcast this week. Think again!
Television Zombies, Episode 10: “Whatever Happened to Captain Jack Harkness”
This week, the TVZ crew debates Doctor Who Captain Jack versus Torchwood Captain Jack, discusses the news of the week and makes a desperate plea for an LCD television set. All this and more! Click here to download.

And yes, we know it is Kevin McKidd, not Kevin Kidd. Sorry, we were sleepy.
Television Zombies, Episode 7: Bad News All Around
It’s finally done. This week, Jeff laments the demise of his third beloved XBOX 360, and offers disappointing news for Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who fans.

This week, the TVZ crew discusses Mega Snake, James Marsters, Torchwood, Tina’s youthful devotion to Mandy Patinkin, and everyone’s favorite shows of all time. As a special bonus, the trio indulge in a tangent about how editing saved both Donnie Darko and the Coppola classic, The Conversation.

I get totally called out this week for liking, ok, loving Mandy Patinkin when I was in my late teens. I was a little blind-sided by this because it totally blows my cover of cool. In reflection, I will not apologize for my then love for Mandy. The 19 year old me really did love him. And the 34 year old accepts that.
Television Zombies, Episode 5: Mega Snake Meets [the] Bionic Woman

I am really enjoying this new podcast and keeping it on schedule has been difficult, but fun. Oh and you can subscribe via iTunes now. Just search for "television zombies" under podcasts.

After over a year, we've produced not one, but two new podcasts. First up is the final episode of the "Restaurant Fuel/I Like Seamonsters" podcast, which you can get here:
RFSM 202: "Television Zombies"
In addition, we've released the pilot episode of our new ongoing podcast, Television Zombies. As the name may suggest, we will be talking about our favorite television shows. You can get it here:
Television Zombies Episode 1: "Lost in Twin Peaks"
For more information on the new podcast, please visit the Television Zombies Web site located at http://www.televisionzombies.com.
All of this will be available on iTunes at some point to subcribe to. The TV podcast will be weekly! How rad is that? We have actually bought equipment and stuff, so the shows should sound ok, but I am a little low-key so you might have to turn it up a bit to hear me. I am attempting to not swear, so in with the calm. We totally want your feedback on the new show, so please comment on the Television Zombies Web site located at http://www.televisionzombies.com. The future is bright for this project, as we will have forums and a community at some point. We want to connect to people who like and watch good TV, so we are excited if you do too.
We started our first podcast at the birth of podcasting and didn't really know what we were doing, but we are back and ready to provide kick ass content every week.
Thanks for listening and being rad.
After nearly a year away, Jeff and I have launched the second season of the "I LIke Seamonsters/Restaurant Fuel" podcast.

Supplemental to the podcast, here is a picture of what Anya does with her feet. Usually she would make sure her feet and toes were covered by a dress, though. Perhaps her feet are just cold.

New podcast posted: Restaurant Fuel/I Like Seamonsters Podcast 106 -- "Crooked Houses" (Download)
Podcast #5 now available: "Baby boomers and Real Babies"
Um, finally. :)
New podcast available:
Seamonsters Restaurant Fuel Podcast #4 -- 3/17/05 -- "The automobile for the urban family" -- 26 minutes
This time, we move back to recording from the bedroom, which makes for a more relaxed episode. We talk about buying our first car in years, and some other stuff.
No really, we are:
Bloggers, Meet the Pod People -- Washington Post
real entry: I am wobbly today. Wobble wobble. Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. This is my first wobbly day in a week and it is kinda nice because it reminds me of the passengers. Everyone talks about how the second trimester of pregnancy is so great because you aren't sick anymore and aren't too big yet. And while I am enjoying those things, it is also easy to forget that you are pregnant at all. I was thinking this morning, that perhaps it is only easy for me because I know what it is like to be fatter than I was 4 months ago. I have gained 18 pounds and next to the 70 that I lost in the past year, this is nothing. I can barely tell. But to a "normal-sized" woman, this might be a horribly devastating development. Not for me! So, my state of wobble reminded me that I am growing two babies. And this made me so happy.
I am a happy wobbly plumpling and that is ok by me.
New podcast has been posted.
Seamonsters Restaurant Fuel Podcast #2 -- 3/6/05 -- 25 minutes long!
I tried my italk this morning, but the street was too too loud. I will have to try it again on the inside world. I talked a little about how when you are pregnant, you get so used to being 16 weeks pregnant, but that doesn't last long at all and before you know it (tomorrow) you have to get used to being 17 weeks pregnant and it moves so so fast. Like a rollercoaster once you get over the first hill. Today, my world is so lovely. All warm and breezes. It makes me want to ride a rollercoaster. It makes me want to see the place past fear. The excitement of it.
[recording podcast segment about this... see future broadcast for more]
I am rediscovering my favorite things. The joys of the second trimester are not only that I am not throwing up in anyone's garden, but also that I can enjoy myself and everything I loved before I got pregnant. Like: music and the breeze and colors. Before last week, all of those things were kind of sickly because I was sickly. But now, I feel like the world is alive and I can enjoy it again. I put Suki on shuffle and she reminds me of all of my old friends. Maritime and Miss Kitten and anything else by Davey (The Promise Ring). It makes me want to name all of my babies Davey. [who the hell is Davey, anyway? http://www.maritimesongs.com]
These past few months made me think there was no way that I could enjoy pregnancy. But here I am singing it's praises like a silly convert. I wonder if biologically, this happy time happens so that women don't hurt themselves. I wasn't sure I could take another day of being dizzy and pukey. Now I walk around with my hand on my back or tummy and I am a huge cliche. And it is ok.
i am amazed by my own level of clever. ::::::i said this to someone today, "we are complicated men, you and i." for some reason it made me laugh big big.::::::
