Chicken Pop Pod:

It seems like these days anyone with VH1 thinks they’re a pop-culture aficionado. Well, step down, Cobra Commander, because I know some fellas who could pop-culture you into next week! I don’t even know what that means, but they could do it. Their names are Chicken, Pop, and Pod. Right. Not really, and I fear for any children who might actually have names like that. Their podcast, however, IS called Chicken Pop Pod, and they’re the best pop-culture podcast I’ve ever come across.

Join host Christopher as he gets together with some of his closest chums. There’s the other Chris (you know, the one with hair), Greg, and Jaime, and a bevy of other guest hosts. They’ve pretty much got it all. Current pop-culture nuggets, retro topics, top five lists of everything from arcade games to breakfast cereals, and a little segment called, “Aw, I freakin’ remember that!”

The boys cover anything and everything; movies, music, television, cartoons, and comics. In one particularly awesome episode, they interviewed Larry Kenney (Lion-O from Thundercats). With a unique sense of humor and a style all their own, CPP will take you back through your favorite childhood memories and have you yelling, "Aw, I freakin' remember that!"

If you're the kind of person who will stop to watch The Goonies whenever it's on TV, or still remembers all the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, then you'll love this show, and look forward to the new episodes as much as I do. Check them out in iTunes, or at their website: chickenpoppod.com.

A word to the wise. Listening to Chicken Pop Pod with headphones on could be hazardous to your reputation. You'll become known as that "weird guy who laughs to himself." Proceed with caution.

This Message Brought To You By:

I’m never writing a memoir.

It’s just too weird to write about myself…says the girl who started a blog and is now writing about herself. In my defense, I didn’t really start this to ramble on about myself. I have the much loftier goal of writing thought-provoking and intelligent essays and articles. However, I probably will just end up prattling on about my life more often than naught.

At any rate, if I’m going to be writing this, and you’re going to be reading it, I figured I ought to at least say something about who I am. So, here’s the CliffsNotes version of my life. Make of it what you will.

I’m in my twenties. I attend college in Las Vegas, Nevada and major in journalism. I’m a novelist (or I’m trying to be). I own a cat who is most likely the offspring of the devil, but I love her anyway. I work full time in a call center with co-workers who are absurd enough to spawn their own sitcom. I have a bad habit of using “Your Mom” as my only comeback (even when it doesn’t make sense), and making “That’s what she said” jokes. I drive around town in a Volkswagen Beetle that has a plush warthog on the dashboard. I can quote scary amounts of dialogue from any Joss Whedon television show. I love books, tea, lip gloss, podcasts, flip flops, pop culture, and pink lemonade.

And that’s all she wrote. Enjoy the blog.

Stay classy,
Jachelle
