Well if you’re waiting for an update to Up The Tree, well… they still happen… occasionally. But if you would rather keep tabs on me in fairly regular annoyingly sparse detail, why not saunter over to twitter and follow me? You’ll get all the information you are dying to hear, including how often I eat, how bad my indigestion is when I eat, and what sort of things I think about while I’m eating. I know, I know, you’re welcome.

Be sure to say hi if you do - I will almost certainly add fans… unless your name starts with “Just” and ends in “Josiah”

ZING!

If you choose to comment on this site, you’ll notice a little icon next to your name. That little icon is a “Gravatar” - it’s an avatar for every website that runs WordPress and hopefully more websites in the future. But unless you have a Gravatar you won’t have your own icon and instead I’ll give you a monster instead.

So why dont you do yourself a favor and get a Gravatar and then comment about how I never update the podcast.

Feels good to vote, although I am totally nervous about the outcome. C’mon America, don’t be dumb.

These kids were too young to vote, but decided to take their beliefs to the streets, urging people to vote because they couldn’t.

So a few of you have commented that the site is now in the default WordPress theme Kubrick. You are right. I noticed the other day that the site, now 6 years old, was loading the homepage in 30 seconds. I wasn’t sure what was making the site slow, so I went back to the default theme and low and behold 1 second loading time.

Is this making you hot ladies?

I am going to redesign the site eventually, but until then you can enjoy what this blog used to look like in 2002… old school.

Fo’ reals

The most depressing thing so far has been the calorie counting food log my temporary personal trainer is making me do. I say temporary because I really can’t see having a personal trainer for an extended period of time — the gym is expensive enough without having to pay a lady with a thick neck $160 additional a month. I write what I eat and the approximate calories. This has made eating food like a game of Battleship, where each carrot stick brings me closer to sinking my own… battleship. The unfortunate part it has made eating annoying. I don’t always want to do calculus every time I want put something in my mouth.

So as much as I would love to keep a lady on my beck and call, especially for those moments when I need to open a particularly stubborn jar of pickels, I think she’s history after the first month. Plus she might say something about the on demand Rocky Road.

A New show packed with all the minutia you expect from your friends over at TUTT. We talk about Ice cream vans, sex dolls, Josiah as a roommate, Ben not being gay, Porn and Josiah as a critic of his own short film. When does the hilarity ever stop? Tomorrow.

Yet another problem this week. The podcast rendered missing the final 10 minutes. We’re very sorry about this and have re-output the file.

Other news — true to our word, Josiah and I are getting together this sunday to record a new show. Normally I wont tell you before we record a show, but just thought I would mention that we are staying true to our word to own the indie podcast scene once again.

Look out, we’re back.

This was both very frustrating and went unnoticed for 2 days.

Needless to say, we’re very sorry that the show didn’t hit people ears on St. Patty’s day and we hope to get this all worked out for future shows. We are also directing you all to the new website if you’d like to leave comments or download the show manually.
