Say hello to my little friend

I have already discussed the part where I'm not cool enough to own an iPod. But my sweet mother decided that I needed one of these things for Christmas, now that both she and my dad have one.

Am now well on my way to being cool. Have moved my stuff into iTunes, and will buy get a car adapter so I can once and for all thumb my nose at the redneck propaganda masquerading as radio channels and start listening to what I want to listen to, thank you very much.

Am also discovering the fascinating world of podcasts. Which always used to make me think of Pod People. And, really, still does. I imagine all these pale, sluggy people huddled in their dark bomb shelters receiving broadcasts from the Powers That Be about when the time will come for them to rise up and take over the world. If any of them are reading this, here's my word of advice: When the Rising Up occurs, I'd avoid the Mormon homes. It may seem like a good idea, what with the masses of food storage and the general niceness, but lots of them keep shotguns with their Potato Pearls. I, myself, do not keep loaded weapons in my pantry, but I also don't have much food in there. So you should probably skip me too.

Does anyone have any favorites that I should check out?
