I’ve been listening to podcasts for several years now, mostly of my favorite political talk radio shows from Air America Radio and, for some completely stupid reason, it never occurred to me that there might be OTHER sorts of podcasts out there. You know, podcasts about stuff I like that won’t make my blood pressure shoot… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #28 – Four Color Heroines
Ok, so in the ensuing hours since I posted about my quandry here and in my LJ, I have received about a dozen invitations to do that Animal Crossing interactive, trading stuff thing that you do, apparently.
