I 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.

Haha, I wish I could take credit for that line, but I am fairly sure it was overheard and immediately appropriated by my gray matter. You know there isn't a single original thing that comes out of the Brooke maw. Nor the Brooke paws. Which could also be the reason I cobble national billboard campaigns. :/

YOU ARE WRITING HORSEWOMAN JO? This is excellent news, son! I am off for a refresher reread! Jo, kicking ass and being broody, I love it.
