Radio Free Burrito Episode 13

Posted on By Wil

Holy Halloween Podcast! It’s a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

Show Notes:

  • The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his “in progress” website. Thanks, Marc!
  • I drop at least one F-bomb in this show, so you probably shouldn’t listen to it around little kids, people with sensitive ears, or at work. Especially if you work in a daycare for kids with sensitive ears. (Hi, Natasha!)
  • I went ahead and made this an enhanced podcast. You know, for kids. Enjoy the pictures and links.
  • Podshow wants me to say “Some of the music provided tonight is from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network. Check it out at ‘music.podshow.com'”
  • What’s that? You want to have links to each artist’s page? I can totally do that:
  • That Halloween PSA really needs to be seen to be fully enjoyed.
  • Similarly, The Trick from Jack Chick also needs to be seen to be fully enjoyed. I edited the hell out of it (see what I did there?) to stay safely within fair use. Jack Chick strikes me as the kind of corporation that has no sense of humor, but a lot of lawyers.
  • Reader Jeremy pointed out that Don Hinson, the genius behind the awesome Monster Dance Party album (which provided the catchy Riboflavin-Flavored, Non-Carbonated, Polyunsaturated Blood) has a website, including a store where you can buy Monster Dance Party on CD. It’s not the full album that I’ve had since I was a kid, but it’s still wonderful.
  • Finally, I want to thank all the artists and labels who are participating in the podsafe music network. I hope this exposes your music to new listeners and you’re all buying mansions and yachts. If you can’t afford to buy them, I hope you can at least build them out of the bones of your enemies.
  • The show weighs in at 18.5MB and is 20 minutes long.

Okay. Got all that? Then please:

When I finish a big acting or writing project, I have this massive crash, like the world’s worst hangover combined with a profound sense of emptiness and loss. I understand that this is really common for creative people, but understanding that doesn’t make it any easier for me to accept it. I AM SUPERMAN, GODDAMMIT! I CAN DO ANYTHING!

Um, except that I can’t.

I’ve felt this ickyness for the last couple of days, and though I know it will eventually pass (it always does), it’s incredibly difficult for me to give myself permission to take a fuck off day or two, when I already feel like what I do isn’t real work anyway, and people I know are getting laid off left and right.

Anyway, in an effort to balance out teh emo, please enjoy this picture I drew while I was on the phone with Andrew yesterday:

stupid unicorn

“Unlike the boring experience of taking notes in a text editor on the computer, using an actual pen and actual paper presented the opportunity to draw an actual unicorn, with a star for an eye, a wheel instead of back legs, riding on the leading edge of a rainbow.

AWESOME.

It’s blurry, because it’s just a stupid crappy camphone shot, but I think that’s part of its charm.”

I thought it was riding the front edge of a rainbow, but a consensus is emerging that it’s actually farting a rainbow. I can accept either one of these interpretations. The important thing is, I have a unicorn with a star for an eye and wheels for legs.

ETA: See, this is why I love the Internets. Reader B says “I loved your unicorn phone doodle and was moved to draw this…”
