finally got to listen to this episode and highly enjoyed it. Glory Road is a book that I both like in parts and also frustrates me (some of which for reasons that align with Seth and James' discussion)

Excellent episode as usual! And I love the plot recaps because there are a lot of these books that have faded in my memory.
New episode today! Join @alana-m-vincent.net and @klaxoncomms.com as they discuss A Case of Conscience. Come for the discussion of Vatican II, stay for info about the ancient Stylite movement and Manicheans! (I am great at promo, no?)

Now that the baseball season is over (congrats to the Dodgers), I can now root whole heartedly for the team I know and commonly refer to as the Football Mariners.
Go Seahawks! Also the throwback uniforms are the absolute best.

While rehearsing in my friends' garage, I felt silently judged by the robot head that was watching us. (No idea what it actually was, so I'm choosing to believe it was a robot.)

I'm kind of behind the Blue Jays for the World Series this year (mostly because they eliminated my favorite team), but Good Lord if I have to hear one more whiny Jays fan (or manager) talk about how Springer got booed when he got hit by a pitch, I'm buying some Dodgers gear. It didn't happen.
