Here Comes the Snooooooooow

We like snow. We like snow. We like snow. We like having appendectomies without anesthesia. We like eating ground glass. We like shooting up laundry detergent. We like George W. Bush.

WORT's transmitter experienced catastrophic (though repairable) failure just before this week's edition of Psychoacoustics, so only those of you who listen online got to hear it as it happened. The rest of you can check out the Archives/Podcasts link at www.wort-fm.org and relive the glory.

Slouching toward Bethlehem to Be Spored

This evening's experiment is principally conducted by Bad Sister Heidi, with Fr. Angus serving as the men's auxiliary, typing as well as spinning LPs and seizing CDs when Bad Sister Heidi's modality du soir calls for such. The Reverend Velveteen is still enswathed in the SlackSpa, but she's listening from a distance and radiating her influence over us.

Behold the glory of the glacier!

YAY. Nothing makes us happier than the coming of winter here in Madison. This is when our true mettle is proven. Wisconsinites are tough enough to brave, even sometimes enjoy winds that attempt to strangle you with your own scarf as they plunge your every cell to absolute zero...snows that fill the streets with magic before they turn to ice and slush...um, yeah. This makes us stronger than you, even it may make those who live in warmer climes a little smarter. Well, brains, brawn, take yer pick. Uh huh. We thought so.

It's just Father Angus tonight, as the Reverend Velveteen is resting in a SlackSpa and Bad Sister Heidi is off getting off somewhere, somehow.
