I am, alas, starting to think about podcasting. I am signed up for a workshop in how to do podcasting in two days.

I don’t even know WHY. I don’t have a mike, I don’t like my voice, I’m not a “sound” person, and I sure as hell am not even sure when I’d have time to do a show. Maybe I’m just a sheep.

I did say the blog was professional. Now late night phone calls, especially after consuming vast quantities of blue drinks – those are never professional.

But every word I said that night was true!

I am going to (heroically) resist the urge to comment upon someone’s professionalism (see: blue vodka drinks, phone calls at midnight), and say I’m so proud of you…buying a domain!

As for speakers, well, I have them. And I have one of those woofers (or is it a tweeter?). It is the perfect height for a footstool.

It never fails that Booksquare mentions me and directs traffic to my blog when I’m posting hunk pictures and stories about men who kidnap their wives and offer them sex contract. Honestly, I’m usually very professional.

And booksquare will be happy to know that I’ve gone more than thinking, I purchased a domain name as well as garage band for said podcast.

P.S. I keep my computer speakers off.

“I find podcasting easier than blogging, since it is easier to talk than taking an hour trying to make your written word not only grammatically correct, but also enjoyable to read and gets my point across.”

This is so ungrammatical that I had to read it at least 3 times till I got what the speaker was saying. Sure, talking’s easy, but as anyone who’s listened to radio knows, not all talking is entertaining, enjoyable to listen to, nor especially to the point.

So far I have not caught the podcast bug. I like the quiet of reading a post after a day of phones, radio and T.V. blaring away. In fact I haven’t even hooked up my new speakers to my computer yet and its been 3 months since I got them!

Some of us are slower to react to a trend (like updating a blogroll) but in time we may get to it.
