the show is this thursday, january 28th, at 8pm PST (11 EST). i am very excited to be on this and i hope you’ll come listen! there will be no talk about my garden at all. come listen to me tell you about how “sister, sister” and “full house” made me a miserable 10 year old twin, share fond memories of favorite SNES games, and learn how to make your own fedex pope costume just in time for halloween.

dailyclaw:

I don’t have much to post about today because I have been really working hard on my radio show. The show is called Radio Jerks and it features my co-host Luke Maxwell from the internet. For the past few weeks we have been doing a retrospective on the 1990’s, but last week when the Conan hysteria happen we decided not to do one. We return this week with a look back at 1994 and 1995. Our guest for this week is Heather M who runs a tumblr called Corndog Ranch. It is going to be the best show yet so make sure you tune in at Tuesday at 8 PM Pacific Standard Time.

Here is the link. I will repost it thursday. You can listen to most of last week’s show (and hear me yell at Luke):

a couple of my friends came to check out the garden today, which was super cool - i hadn’t had any visitors before this - but when we got there i discovered i do not have a snail problem. i have a RAVEN problem. there were about 4 or 5 of them pecking the hell out of my baby bok choy. i guess now i’ll have to make little cages or nets or something to protect my plants. ugh.

everything looks great, but i was retarded and forgot my camera at the office, so i have to go back in the morning to take pictures. we are supposed to get at least 4-5 straight days of rain next week, so i’m not watering until the storm passes. hopefully i will have something exciting to put here tomorrow.

there’s this game series, harvest moon, that’s been around for like 10 years. it’s like a combination virtual farm/dating game. i’ve been playing it pretty much since it’s been around and have always given my fake farms stupid names, like “butt ranch” or “cow town” or “weed grow”. when i moved in with my boyfriend, he had to start putting up with me playing fake farm after fake farm with stupid fake names. i’ve been given the opportunity for a real farm, and i only get to name it once, so it better be the best name i can think of.
