The Blog Stays In the Picture
Once again, I’ve been slacking in the blogging department for awhile. So, what was the impetus for my usually indolent ass? A sense of dedication to my fan? An especially brilliant idea? A letter from the pro blog scouts? Sure, I’m writing for any and all of these noble, relatively selfless reasons. On an unrelated note, I also have some items that somebody could purchase for me if said person felt so inclined. I have compiled a list for his/her convenience should this bizarre circumstance arrive. Ok, so I needed to make a Christmas list. In honor of Luda, I waited until after Thanksgiving to commence talk of presents…unlike a certain impatient corporate sellout. Also unlike this other party, I plan to continue my tradition of justifying why I deserve gifts in a later blog post. This will be the Second Annual Edition of my Shower Me with Gifts, Ingrates! Extravaganza (with an unexplained one-year absence, probably because it wasn’t appreciated). I’m choosing to postpone that and make it a sort of year-in-review post.
Before I get to the wish list, I have some other business to discuss. Next quarter, I plan on working at Wright State’s radio station in order to acquire some (mandatory) experience in the communications field. I would like to become comfortable behind the microphone before I take over the airwaves, so I want to resurrect the podcast on this site with John’s help. One potential idea I had was to perform a weekly impression based on suggestions from loyal listeners/readers. Well, I’ve given everyone a considerable amount of fodder for your respective Jaymz journals. Think it over, digest it, talk amongst yourselves. Specific point of emphasis: my network administrator is responsible for all my internet-related shortcomings. If you’re interested in the list, continue reading.
Here’s the 2007 edition of my (relatively) grown-up Christmas list:
-the new Cranium game (Cranium Wow, available here)
-Stephen Colbert’s book (I Am America (and So Can You!), available on Amazon and elsewhere)
-Curb Your Enthusiasm dvds
-a swell looking outfit for Christmas (possibly a ridiculous Christmas sweater for comedic value)
-Second Amendment Busted Tees hoodie (medium)
-this scrolling LED belt buckle (blue)

Hey, thought I’d let you know your link is borked since you left out “http://”. As for the podcast thing, I’d be glad to help you out with it, but I’d need you to make pitches for some fine products during each episode.
Here’s a guide on podcasting to get you started. The SoundFlower/SoundBed and Line-In are all optional and let you add in other sounds such as a conversation with someone on ichat or some music.
I’m suprised you don’t already have the second amendment shirt! bear arms!!
have a merry christmas, jim. i hope you get all that you wish for, plus a shiny new unicorn (who doesnt want a unicorn??)
First of all thanks for your restraint in discussing Christmas…bah humbug I say!
I didn’t realize the motivation for the podcasts…makes sense and will be entertaining for me, sounds like a win-win.
I’m not as interested in sending in impressions, but I would like to send in points for you to discuss. Tone used to do that sometimes and it was interesting.
Laura, he has the t-shirt already I believe…it appears he is branching out into the hoodie realm.
