Episode 17 – I Love You, Dave Birds
July 11, 2009 - 9:34 pm
Here comes another episode of Stationary Joystick: Road Warrior Edition! The audio quality is OK thanks to the Tascam, though I still haven’t perfected the art of recording in the car. Here are some show notes:
- Transfer orientation. How does it compare to freshman orientation?
- Achilles tendinitis. How I turned into a limping fool.
- Some more college talk, most of it boring. Progress reports, colleges within universities, etc.
- Quick non-commercial break!
- Apartment hunting.
- Federal Aid.This year, I’m actually eligible!
- GPS totally interrupts and derails me. Repeatedly.
- Kerasotes Theaters. More specifically, their diabetes-inducing combo system.
- Another break!
- I Love You, Beth Cooper. A loose review of the movie.
- Hayden Panettiere vs. Paul Rust. Who deserves billing?

I want to read ILYBC now, think I just might. I’m a big fan of those coming-of-age type stories except only so many of them are actually good. I also dig the new format of the show, I know you mentioned before you thought about piecing together different recordings to form a new episode and I think it works, plus the non-commercial music is cool!
Also glad you found your own place in Madison, and not too far away from yo peepz. The Point crew (Hate and I) will have to come see it sometime.

It’s a decent read, and even if you don’t like it, it only takes a few hours to get through. The movie adaptation isn’t high quality and won’t be considered a classic in league with John Hughes and “Superbad”, but whatever.
Yes, you should come visit. We’ll hook it up. Is Benam part of the package deal? Perhaps Becca (I’ll stock my fridge with fuckin’ Snapples)? Pfft, shit.

Benam and Becca are always welcomed to chill with us. Perhaps the five of us could go to Five Guys?

That would be awesome. And really, trying to fit a group of five people in the tiny Five Guys on State St. would be an accomplishment in and of itself.
