We've all known that Radiolab is superb since its origin, but I didn't really start taking the time to listen to podcasts methodically again (since I used to listen to Eve Online shows and such) until last year, when my time was opened wide thanks to a series of separations, redirections, and a pink slip.

When I heard David and the Wire, it really hit me: things had changed, and audio storytelling's future is brilliant. I will never forget it.

"The uniform."

"If you do try to capture that moment, you're sort of... out of that moment."

Sitrep: 6 pills remaining for the next two weeks. Semi-frantically scrambling to churn out my 12th Editor's Letter, and trying my best to maintain a state of 100% emotional integrity with myself regarding the one-year anniversary of Extratone's launch.

All available indication has pointed toward a steadily-increasing pitch in just about any curve you can measure of such a thing. I'll save any more detail for the letter, but I did create /cactus for Tim, /dixie for Madeline (which is probably the best subdomain in history,) and acquired bilge.world to forward to the /bilge page I made for myself.

I paused long enough to re-read Feebles in Night for the first time in what seems like ages, and it occurred to me that I should've made the .pdfs of it and the Children of the Corn 30 screenplay accessible to you for free a long time ago. Sorry about that.

All of the sudden, I am sick as hell, which is surprisingly rare, considering the way I treat myself, but - given my rapidly-dwindling supply of adderall (the most effective decongestant I've ever encountered,) and my recent purchase of two unfiltered Camel packs (the town is completely depleted of Lucky Strikes, somehow,) I may actually die tonight.

Farewell forever,
David
