ita, I met a nice Jamaican woman and we got to talking in line at the store. She has a cousin named Ita, but it's pronounced ET-T-a. (Not almost slurred, like Etta (Etdah) James.)

(It's not you, btw.Her cousin.)

Have I been mispronouncing your name all these years? I always thought EE-TTa, with a very emphatic T sound.

Announcement: SO UNMOTIVATED.

Carry on.

Last Serial. In mourning now. Cannot work.

I don't even listen to Serial and I want to know who did it. Which I assume I can google for, so no need to post spoilers.

I didn't listen to Serial, but I'm thinking about downloading all the episodes and listening to them in the car on my magic radio.

I'll either listen while cleaning or on the plane tomorrow.

Have outside shoes on, going to brave malls.

I'm subscribed to Serial so presumably the episodes have been piling up in an app or something, but I haven't listened to any yet.

Same with Nightvale.

I may be bad at podcasts.

However, I brought donuts in to the office this morning, so I'm gonna say I'm good at...something

My commuting classic rock station has begun integrating Christmas songs into their playlist. I suspect I'll be LDB'd soon.

Much to my amazement, I wasn't LDB'd yesterday, so I'm still wide open. If I listened to commercial radio, my chances would go way up, though.

I only got one run on Instacart yesterday, but at least I didn't screw this one up, and was able to find all the requests without the app shorting out, etc etc. I'm still making a whole lot more money through Uber.

I really enjoyed Serial, but couldn't get into Nightvale. Podcasts are harder since I no longer subway and I have a very short commute. I listened mostly just at work. Something I could not have done 5 months ago when I had all the phone responsibility, nor could I have done without headphones when I was on an open space desk or cubicle at previous jobs.
