Yes, these are the things that I think about. The Fresh Prince’s mother issues and Webster’s sad beginnings. I don’t know why, but that’s what I think about. Is it a good use of my time? I guess that’s debatable…

The credits song is “Ce Jeu” by Yelle from the album Pop-Up. It’s a French group and all the music is in French. I honestly have no idea what most of the songs are about but it’s extremely fun to listen to. From what I’ve read, some of the songs might be a little inappropriate. So if you have a young child that is fluent in French, you might want to screen it first.

I’d also like to get the word out a little more about the site. I really don’t promote it myself, so if you like it, let someone know, write it up on your blog, twitter a link, etc. Or you could do an iTunes review of the podcast version. Just go to the iTunes store and search for “apartment 404″. OK, I promise not to do that again. I already feel dirty.

Oh, and sorry this episode took so long to get up. I’ve started school so things have gotten busier. I’d still like to get out one episode every week but it probably won’t happen every week. I’ll do my best.

Aah, I could talk cereal for hours. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Raisin Nut Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, and especially the divine Blueberry Muffin Tops. I ate cereal for breakfast during most of my childhood and I loved it. I practically quit having breakfast as I got older due to working but I’ve recently gotten back into cereal. And I have to say, it’s good to be back.

Part of the reason I made this episode is because one of my brothers had two favorite cereals when we were kids; Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Grape Nuts. I understand his obsession with C.T.C. but every time I eat Grape Nuts I feel like someone is pulling a lame prank on me. That’s not even getting into the fact that his two favorite cereals were polar opposites. But, he always was the weird brother…

The song during the credits is called “Milk & Cereal” by G. Love & Special Sauce. I can’t figure out what album the song is actually from (EDIT – It’s from Front Porch Loungin’) but I highly recommend the self titled album I just linked to. The songs “Cold Beverage” and “Baby’s got Sauce” are both great. And don’t let the band name turn you off, they make great music.

Narc’s t-shirt is a Dethklok shirt. I actually made a shirt just like that when Metalocalypse first came out because you couldn’t buy one. It had the Dethklok logo on the front and a banana sticker on the back. You could buy my version for a while but it eventually got pulled due to copyright infringement being too awesome, or something like that. But you can still buy official shirts if you’re into the show.

This topic has been rolling around in my head for so long that I can’t remember if I came up with it a really long time ago or if it’s already been discussed somewhere (movie, TV, friend, etc.). Either way, I am in complete agreement with Max on this one.  I really can’t stand the show Golden Girls.  I know I’ll probably get angry emails for that but it’s just how I feel.  You’re not going to change my mind.

Sorry the credits rolled slower than usual. I usually try to keep the credits at about 20 seconds but the song this time (the Golden Girls theme, of course) was about 40 seconds and I wanted to have the whole thing there.

And, that’s all for this week, I guess. PEACE!

I’m sure everyone has something from when they were a kid that they just can’t quite remember correctly. I know I have tons of things like that but my memory has always been crappy selective. And don’t you just hate it when you’re having some meaningless fun and someone has to ruin it with practical thinking like Conner? It’s usually more fun when you don’t know what you’re talking about. Some of the best conversations I’ve ever had were completely meaningless and full of B.S.

The credits song is called “P.S.” by Jenny Owen Youngs. The album it’s on is Batten the Hatches. She’s got a great voice and all her songs have a sweet sound to them. You’re in for a surprise if you pay attention to her lyrics though because they have a bit of an edge to them. She also does a great cover of Nelly’s “Hot in Herre“. (yes it’s spelled “herre” because that’s how gangsta Nelly is)

I hate putting anything on youtube because the comments end up being, uh, less than constructive, and the quality of their videos is terrible. But, I went ahead and created an Apartment 404 page. It’s here if you’re into that sort of thing.

(In my best cheesy disk jockey voice) “AND WE’RE BACK!” Alright, I’ve taken care of most of my real world stuff. I’m settling into being unemployed and I have about a month until I start school full time. Hopefully, this whole situation means more time for the site. We’ll see…

As far as the latest episode, I’m still not sure if it’s funny or just mean. I don’t want everyone who watches it to feel the same as Narc does but it’s kind of unavoidable. I can’t tell the story without telling the story. If it makes you feel better, I don’t think there’s really a joke that goes along with the punchline but if you can come up with one, please email it to me.

No new t-shirt this week. Narc’s wearing the Artificial Intelligence Kills shirt again just because I like it so much.

The song that plays during the credits is “Stand Together” by the Beastie Boys. It’s from the album Check Your Head.

Also, I added an old cartoon I did a few years ago to the extras page. It’s called Invasion. And I noticed that someone wrote a post about my site over on Webcomics inc. I don’t even know how they stumbled onto my site but it’s awesome to have anyone write about my site! (especially since he liked it so much)

PS – For anyone paying attention, I did backdate this post and delete the “NEWS 7/21″ post. I just wanted to keep the site organized with weekly posts.
