Things I like

Just a quick plug here to share something I like. As you may or may not know, I've been deep into podcasts for the last eight months or so and I have to spread the joy here. First show I love and need to share is NSFW show. First off, while it's called NSFW it really isn't NSFW. They try to keep it fairly clean. There was one ep early on where a few guests got...colorful but it's painfully clear that the hammer came down after that one.

So let me describe it. There's a guy with spikey hair and a guy who they call the internet's Charlie Day for obvious reasons. Each show is a contest that involves the internet and typically guests. Example games are the Celebrity Twitter Fight Club where the douchiest tweets win. Another game was a trivia contest between Brian, the spikey haired guy, and Hitler's dice. They're totally irrelevant and it's nothing but an absolute waste of time, but it's my #1 pick out of all the digital media I'm consuming. If you've got the timing down you can actually watch it live while they record it, but don't ask me when it's on. 

So check out the site, nsfwshow.com and that'll give you an idea of what it's like. I'd say the first ep is a good place to start for obvious reasons as well as an outstanding show, but the World Record episode is the one that really got me hooked. So take your new fangled Apple TV or Google TV or Roku or Xbox and put it to some good use.

Warm feelings

Thought I'd do something a little different this time and push out a little happiness into that bottomless pit of anger we call the internet. Friday night I went out bar hopping (that is we went from one bar to another bar so we can say hopping DID occur) with a couple friends in a larger group of loosely associated people. In the course of events a few of us stepped outside to grab a breath of fresh air and one of us was evidently too tipsy to be allowed back inside. I sat her down to hang a little bit to see if she could get it together to look sober enough to go try again when the group decided this would be a good time to hop. 

On the way there the friends I came with had a little spat. I'm not judging or choosing sides or anything like that, just saying that there was a minor upset. Our new hangout didn't have a table big enough for all of us and since they were round, you can't push them together without making an 8, we went with a split level so they tables were next to each other but sat at different elevations and separated by a railing. Since my one friend had found someone in the group to bond with, I hung with the other until drinks and apologies were served. 

While this is going on my friend, I'm leaving names out since they may not want stories of debauchery spread on the internet, leans back, looks and me and signals with her hands I...love....you. She thought it was really sweet of me to be the guy taking care of the ones getting left out for one reason or another. Just wanted to say that those little hand gestures meant the world to me at that moment. Not bragging or anything like that, just nice to be reminded that we mean so much to each other.
