Oh, my. I can't imagine anything more appropriate.
JZ, I listen to several of the podcasts mentioned above, as well as The History of the World in 100 Objects and Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap. The latter is a podcast where two people (and occasional guests) eat weird, cheap food (and sometimes weird, not so cheap food that people send them) and rate them. They also drink during the show and rate their beverages. It can last 1-2 hours, but there's nothing suspenseful. I just find it kind of hilarious. There are also random digressions on art, politics (they're lefty liberals), gardening, computers, sex, drugs, roadtrips, and so on. Ursula is, among other things, a cartoonist, children's book author, grownup's author, and illustrator (the Dragonbreath series, Digger, etc.)
So, hey...
I'm so tired of students, college students. Just the thoughtlessness, the self-centeredness, the undue sense of entitlement. I hates them, precious!
I think every person between 18 and 25 should be...not killed, but...stuffed into another dimension. I'm all grumpy old codger yellin' "Get out of my universe! Stop ridin' your bikes across my plane of existence!"
Ooh, wait!
"Get out of my brane!"

Yeah, I live in a college town, and I get this sometimes, too. My favorite bar was chosen because a) it has great cocktails and comfy furniture and b) college students never, ever go there. But I still have to dodge them on the way there. Or so I've been led to believe. I'm open to alternate theories.
Hi all. So I was judging a speech tournament today and there was a prose piece about an 18 year old girl who had debilitating migraines due to a head injury sustained in a swimming accident. At the beginning, a doctor tells her, "well, you won't die from it, you'll just always have extensive pain." I just about broke down crying right then. Had a hard time paying attention to the rest.
Kiba, I'm sorry but I missed what you're going to be studying
The word "just" is so horrid, ChiKat. That's so hard.
Podcasts: I just started listening to Compulsory - a podcast about people who make stuff. it's about the right length. spilled milk is a shortish & non- serious food podcast I enjoy.
What I've noticed is that often podcasts are shorter at first and then gradually get longer.
It was horrible. On several levels.
I highly recommend the BBC Friday Night Comedy Podcast, which is British political/news-based comedy. The podcast rotates between two BBC Radio 4 shows: The News Quiz, which fills the same evolutionary role as Wait Wait, hosted by the incomparable Sandi Toksvig; and The Now Show, which is sketch satirical comedy, hosted by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. I often gasp at the pointedness of the humor. It helps to know a bit about British current events, but reading the Guardian occasionally should do you; even without that, you should be able to get what's going on.
