Stationary Joystick

In this episode, I hate on anime kids, so I apologize if you’re one of the few anime fans who is cool and doesn’t act like they’re 12 years old (and if you’re listening to this, I’m guessing you are one of those said cool people, so good on you). Actually, that’s pretty much it in terms of content. Somehow my rant lasted just over a half hour…

• Central Wisconsin vs. Southern Wisconsin. They’re incredibly different…actually, maybe not.
• Fast Times at China Buffet. Still better than this podcast.
• Inauguration. I don’t really care about politics, so I did the very least I could do.
• My East Asian History class. A huge rant (encompassing over half the episode) about why I’m already not such a fan of that class. Anime kids ruining my shit!

This week must be filled with awesomeness, because here comes a bonus episode of Stationary Joystick! My brother Jon and I recorded this when we were driving out to our other brother’s house in Oconomowoc/Delafield. I recorded this on my iRiver T10, and the quality is somewhat dubious as a result (the T10 seems to be really crappy at recording in a moving vehicle; remember the driving episode I couldn’t release?). Still, we have a decent conversation (in my opinion), so I decided to post it anyway. We discuss topics such as:

• Five Guys…walk into a bar.
• Jon’s work life, even though he doesn’t want to talk about it.
• Life after priesthood.
• Takeshi Kitano’s Sonatine and the craziness of Quentin Tarentino.
• Going to the dentist.
• Books we read in high school English class.
• Where did the name Stationary Joystick come from?

So, hopefully you enjoy it, but I apologize if you find the crap quality ruins it for you. I’m going to try to upgrade the portable podcast setup for future episodes…

The Winter Break ‘09 extravaganza continues here on Stationary Joystick! The summation of this episode is that I get pissed at an “iceberg.” That’s quality podcasting. Show notes:

• The Stationary Joystick Theme Song: Dance Remix. It’s sort of like MMD’s Dancetime, in that you can dance to it!
• My boss is transferring to New York? This thought spins off into several tangents, none of which make sense.
• My class schedule for the upcoming Spring semester.
• “Interesting. I didn’t know the history of the Titanic.” Profound words to live by.
• Premier Exhibitions = Shady shit! Also, Body Worlds!
• An “iceberg”? Seriously?
• The Whiteboard.
• My mad German language skillz.
• Ciprodex. It’s steroids…for your ears. Also, Tylenol PM!
• Thomas Kohnstamm’s book Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?

As always, hit up the Twitter! Fuck icebergs!
