Sorry the episode is late everyone!  What happened was that I thought I had lost a portion of my interview with Mur!  But thanks to Paul Fischer, I was able to recover it!  So this week, I babble on about a variety of things, including losing it over Christmas, Tin Man, and what an awesome kid I have.  I'm a bit scattered, so be warned.

Mur Lafftery's Playing for Keeps

Geek Acres

There was no voice mail this week - so come on everyone - get on the horn and call me!  I'm looking for a super hero name for the kid.

The voicemail number is 206-338-3942.  You can leave a comment here, or send me an email at mainthepa@gmail.com

And I hope everyone has a very geeky holiday!

Crap - I lost part of my media review with Mur Lafferty, so I'm not sure when there is going to be a show - I don't have any other media reviews in the hopper.  And no - I don't have a backup - when will MA learn?

Hopefully I'll have something for you in the next few days.  Sorry everyone.

I'd like to announce that as of tonight, I will NOT be MAinPA anymore.  At least for the weekend.  I will be MAinGA once again, as I wing my way down to Atlanta to help Leann pack up to move to AZ.

Now you didn't think I would go to Atlanta, and we wouldn't get in front of the mics did you?  No - we are going to be recording a show, and this is where you come in.  We are two geek girls, and we are taking your questions!  So leave a comment here with a question, and we'll answer it!

And to all of you that have been here for me this week - you know how much it means to me.  I hit a real low point last weekend - so low that I had thought I was going to close BL8TN because it seemed as though everything I had tried to do was a failure.  But there were certain ones of you that kicked my ass, picked me up, and refused to let me fall again.  I do have to say that I think the best friends are the ones that don't try to fix you - they just let you know you aren't alone while you figure things out.   So to those of you - thank you so much. I am such a lucky person.

There will be a new episode of BL8TN coming on Wednesday, featuring a media review with Mur Lafftery.  So tune in, and I haven't mixed down a VM segment yet - so there is still time to get a voice mail in for the next show.  (206)338-3942.  Call.  You know you want to.

And for right now....

I'm leavin on a jet plane....

Love,
MA

Finally - it took me two days, but here are the show notes for this episode, where I hang out with Diane Severson and we talk about the Book Whose Title I Cannot Pronounce.

Also - I had to reupload the podcast this week - the music I mention in the episode turned out to possibly not be podsafe, so I changed it.  Anyway - on to the Notes!

Metamour City
The Computer King
Selganor
Space Casey
Charles Cadenhead from Mostly News
Choochus from Into the Blender
Murder at Avedon Hill

Lenny Henry
Neil Gaiman
Dianne's MySpace Page 
and her blog.

Also - my template is broken here on the website.  Anyone that could help me would be most appreciated.  I can't figure out what is going on, so no comments till I do.

So - email me at mainthepa at gmail.com or send me a voice mail at (206)338-3942. 

Talk to you in two,
MA
