A post for my nerdy friends

Dear friends,

My sister often tells me that I'm a loser. I would be concerned about this, except that it usually involves my love of National Public Radio. I have no problem with this, really. She can make fun all she wants, but NPR makes my life. So it would be no surprise to you that living outside the US has been difficult for my morning commute, my early Saturday morning, and my Sunday morning/afternoon. And it has been! My internet connection is simply not fast enough to sustain streaming WBHM, and that's a challenge for sure.

But no more darkness, friends. I have come upon a beautiful addition to my life. NPR Podcasts. They're free! They're wonderful! They're easy to upload to your iPod! I'm currently listening to Peter Segel on my favorite show Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! the NPR quizshow. I think next I'll turn to Car Talk and then to Fresh Air. I haven't found Tales from Lake Woebegone, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. My life is now complete.

I must, however, thank the lovely people at Acura and Grey Goose Vodka for sponsoring such a wonderful service to humankind! I can take care of supporting Grey Goose on my own with some friends, but I'm going to need your help in supporting Acura. Your options are these: 1. buy an Acura, 2. Buy ME an Acura.

Love,
Your nerdy friend Lisa
