subterrainI pulled a tragic, toe-scufflingly remorseful resignation at work this week. NAMELY BECAUSE I'M LEAVING IN 15 DAYS, 11 HOURS, YESSSSSSSSSSS. But on one level, I guess I could say it's kind of sad: I'm kind of getting used to spending 15 hours/week scanning archival documents from Halifax's House of Assembly in the 1810s, and listening to much of the following:
a) This American Life, aka Ira Glass' adorable lisp (sometimes he doles out relationship advice!);
b) CBC Radio 3, podcasts or just plain radio or sometimes just a random fishing of New Music Canada's billions of sexy Cdn artist pages;
c) podfic (even though I have to skip through the sex because dudes! I AM AT WORK!);
d) the New Yorker's terribly fucking hip Fiction Podcast that makes me want to simultaneously forget about writing real fiction ever and also delete my lj entirely because I am just that ambivalent;
e) my own excellent taste in music, which you should all definitely friend on last.fm so that I can be further shamed out of listening to Placebo ever again;
and;
f) the occasional mortgage advice podcast, because I am obviously living in a fantasy world where crippling student debt doesn't exist and me and my future pound dog will live in idyllic bliss in my fantasy 2-bed, 2-bath, fenced-yard character home within walking distance of the LRT, the Central Library and probably the homeless shelter, too, by virtue of geographic reality.
However, I have two weeks of full-time work left to fill with distractatory talkin and/or tunez, so if anyone has any recs for favourite radio stations, podcasts, music sources, AND YES, THE BEST PODFIC, do tell.

I loves me some Clint Mansell. Such creepy fucking music. LOVE IT! Ahah, shit, I'm going to have to listen to some Caribou or Final Fantasy to pump up my compatibility with you, aren't I?
JO/DEAN, MAN. JO. DEAN. JODEAN. PLEASE. Someone asked me what verse I would want to write in that question thingy and it was THAT ONE. It's so dark and angsty and WONDERFUL. It fills my heart with dark joy. Mmmm. Yes.
