Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
June Thomas is on the Gabfest this week! I am so excited!
I would also listen to Jilli and StuntHusband.
I'm actually looking forward to a longer commute so I can keep up with my podcasts! I'm so behind from being out of town last weekend.
Jesse - I am also crazily behind on my podcasts.
This will not, of course, keep me from subscribing to Jilli's podcast should this be happening.
I think I am really picky about my podcasts- I don't have enough of them and I like to play them all day at work. I have listed to every This American Life and Pop Culture Happy Hour (my favorite), all the Slate Culture Gabfests with June Thomas, Making It with Riki Lindhome and The JV Club with Janet Varney. I need more!!!
It's Fresh Air and WTF I can't deal with, because they are too much volume when I'm not listening to at least an hour a day. (And I don't listen at work.) And now Extra Hot Great is back!
We started ATLA when my kids were 5 and 2, and they both loved it, although the 2 year old was, well, 2, so had only the vaguest grasp of it. There is some violence but it's never graphic and in fact the overarching message is about using nonviolent approaches. I think if the 5 year old goes to PG movies and watches TV, you should be fine. If the kid or parents are really sensitive about media, then wait.
Just had an amazing lunch with coworkers. They've been having a food truck come here once a month, and today it was this Chinese American one, and I had a sandwich that was scallion pancakes with poached eggs inside (along with cheese and pesto, the American parts...) and YUM.
Holy god, that sounds delicious. I haven't had good scallion pancakes in AGES, let alone with eggs and cheese and pesto.
I am not sure how things fell apart so quickly after my sister left, but I'm rampantly not coping, and on PTO for at least the morning.
