In this week's episode,Andy shares his latest 'goat' and it has a bit to do with eyonce-bay at
the inauguration-ay (that's pig latin if you didn't get it). Then, Kaley
and Igor join me for some 2013 celeb/fashion predictions. Will Lohan
see 2014? Will J-Timberlake's new album be a flop? We let you know our
thoughts in this extended episode!
Today at work I made a list of things that I am convinced everyone can do that I can't. I'm not being self-deprecating, because I honestly don't care about these things. This is just observation for observation's sake.
Anyway, without further adoo (YEP, adoo. why not?)...
- Eating a croissant without crumbs flying everywhere. I'm baffled by this. When normals eat a croissant, it goes from plate to mouth, plate to mouth, plate to mouth and back again as if it were any other bit of food. It might as well be a carrot. When I, on the other hand, eat a croissant, I am consistently appalled at the damage it's caused. Flakes everywhere! In the crotch creases of my trousers, in the keyboard, all over the floor, down my shirt and in my bra! How can such a small, everyday pastry produce so many crumbs? Like I said - baffled.
- Know very basic level French and/or Spanish. How did I manage to miss this? Everyone over here in the UK could at least go to Paris and order a croissant in a cafe (and then eat every last flake). Even Americans know a bit of Spanish!
This was for a 'dress as a country' party that I attended in 2010. Of course, when I say 'party I attended', I really mean 'my flatmates and I dressed up as a country and then ate dinner. Four of us participated. Anyway, I'm dressed as 'France' - that's why I included this pic in this blog post.
- Roman numerals. Never learned them. Missed that week in school. Yet another reason why parents should do everything they can to ensure their kids catch chickenpox at a pre-school age.
- Wear scarves. OK, I'm not talking about the standard-sized wool scarves you wear when it's freezing outside. Those took me awhile, but I've figured it out by now. It's the long, thin, 'beautiful' scarves that my neck just seems to reject. And before you suggest it - yes, I've watched the YouTube tutorials. They still don't help.
Or-uh-vwa,

P.S. If you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet, DO IT.
So, I have a bit of a dilemma. You'd be surprised how both hard and easy podcasting is.
On the one hand, it's insanely easy. You just do a bit of recording on a voice recorder (not the best quality, but passable), you edit it for 2 seconds on Garage Band, you upload it for free to a podcast hosting site, you submit the RSS feed to iTunes and there you go - you're up and running!
But it's actually also really hard too. For example, it took me forever to find a podcast hosting site that created an RSS feed for me. That site works really well, except the 'embed' tool I could use to post the episodes on this blog doesn't work in Blogger! So, what I have been doing is uploading them to DivShare (another site) and embedding them here. This isn't ideal, since the plays/downloads don't count toward the overall stats - and if this is going to make me famous one day, I will need to know how many million people are downloading each episode.
But WOAH, just as I've been writing this I figured it out! Yippee! This is a fantastic development.
OK, here are episodes 10 & 11 !
Episode 10 - This episode gets good once you get past the Sonics bit. Note to self -
don't try to talk about things you actually know nothing about, tee hee.
Episode 11 - Will Lance Armstrong make a comeback? Is horse meat really that gross?
Mog, Ram and guest Sam take on the news stories of the week.
Happy New Year, Y'all! Here's yet another episode of Pod-a-Doodle-Doo for you. Andy and I catch up on Christmas, Kim/Kanye, duct-taped Icelandair guy and generally discuss what's been on Andy's mind lately. Plus, we talk about this guy:
