I hate it when
I listen to an old piece where a person’s story was really, really, really good—and something about the scoring or the cuts or the pauses or the narration just doesn’t do it justice. It’s hard listening to stuff now, when I have the benefit of wisdom and experience under my belt.
I wish so much that I could go back and change so many of my earlier pieces. Oof. Well,...
I don’t think this version is in stereo so...
“Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who...”
– Amy Poehler (via stupidhandshakeything)
I am trying my best to do this right now, and it feels so great. As my roommate Sam told me last night, “Why do you think mega-successful rappers are always complaining about haters?”

Reason #1229 why I like not having facebook
I don’t know if my friends are dead. I can’t tell. When I had facebook, there’d be constant bombardments of reminders. Not only were my friends alive, they were eating casseroles and playing chess and watching the kind of television that makes me worry about their futures in the way you do when somebody has a drinking problem.
Now you could die and I wouldn’t know. For...
I just had a really friggin adult conversation.
I can’t believe I’m a grown up and I get to organize rock star stuff.

Queer love. First love. or not first love
“Elsa, I think of hearts when I think of love, of course, but also I think of lungs. At UCSF Medical Center I studied the lungs of a 30-year-old who died of prostate cancer. He had greenish, standard-issue tattoos. The lungs were not bags like I thought they’d be. They were like sea sponges. They were clean. He’d never lived in the city....
hungeercluod asked: You do great work! Snap Judgment is my favorite story show on the radio.
Listening (2.2.2012)
mindypoowho:
I seem to be in the minority here based on everyone else’s posts, but I really didn’t care that much forSnap Judgement. I didn’t find many of the anecdotes that compelling other than the bit about the man rescuing a group of young people from Lake Michigan. I preferred the Fresh Air interview; although the interviewee seemed a bit pompous, the subject matter in and of itself was...
