ENTER THE SHELL MAKING WAVES IN NEW TERRITORY

EnterTheShell.com Splashes into the Podcasting Scene with Availability in the iTunes Store

LOS ANGELES -- Local website www.entertheshell.com has taken the next step in its quest for global domination by making exclusive podcasts available in the iTunes Store.

EnterTheShell.com’s new foray into the iTunes Store community not only gives the hard-working staff a great sense of pride, but will expose the podcast to listeners all over the world at a faster rate than it just being available on the website alone. For a website that started out getting hits by word of mouth, this accomplishment will cement the brand of EnterTheShell.com as a leader in the podcasting community.

The website and iTunes page feature exclusive ETS Music News podcasts recorded at Skullr Records and hosted by website founder DJ Turrtle, as well as www.errorfm.com’s “Tilted Talk” podcasts in which DJ Turrtle co-hosts.

Along with audio content updated weekly, www.entertheshell.com also features a blog section with album reviews, Artist of the Week, tips on finding online material and anything that the ETS bloggers deem necessary and informative to their readers.

Individuals from all over the world have stumbled upon the site and the ETS staff have received nothing but positive feedback, so adding the iTunes Store to their arsenal will no doubt add to the site’s successes.

Boredom and Sleepless Entry #254

I'm so bored and awake right now that I could actually blog about something of importance ... But I won't.

I bought myself a new iPod a little more than a week ago. The Classic 120 Gig. I was pleasantly surprised that Apple had added to their arsenal of iTunes games and discovered Scrabble and Sonic the Hedgehog, the former being a family tradition at all types of functions and gatherings and the latter being my favorite game growing up (next to Madden '94). So since I discovered these games, I've been spending most of my nights in bed before I go to sleep playing a game of Scrabble against my computer then trying my hardest NOT to suck at Sonic (which I am currently failing miserably at).

Do you think I use the parenthesis too haphazardly? I got marked down on a paper once for doing that. The guy who did it was a total prick though and I loved imagining him falling off his bike whilst speeding down a steep hill when he showed up to class with dried blood all over his arms one time. Was that a little too much? Whatever. I hated that guy.

I really want to read "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut. My oldest brother bought me the book for Christmas but I already packed it. I know it's Vonnegut, but I don't feel like digging through my book box to find it. After all, it is 2:30am.

Ugh. I can't sleep.

"New" Music

It has occurred to me that if I actually sit down and listen to the albums I buy, I'll like them a lot!

I have a habit of buying new albums but still getting stuck on my old music. This is not to say that I hate new music, or that you should totally disregard your old music. This sounds familiar. I think I wrote a blog about this earlier. Anyway, I'm finally listening to "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" and it's pretty damn good. She's just like me! Only, I have eyebrows.

Still in my pj's ...

Since I'm stuck here in San Diego for a couple of months I'm afraid of the impending days and days of boredom. Well, I've come to the conclusion that my days aren't so long and boring if I don't get out of bed till 1pm! Will ya look at that!?

Also, though I'm still in my pajamas at 4:37pm on a Thursday, today has actually been really productive. I've been working on my resume, Monster.com account and EnterTheShell.com entries.

Please help support poor, starving and sexually-deprived artists by checking out EnterTheShell. Listen to the titillating podcasts, read the informative blogs and email those sexually-deprived artists with feedback.

Thankssomuch.

All grown up now, I guess

So I'm officially a college graduate as of last night when it turns out that I got a very comfie B in the class I was most concerned about. I hate those types of classes; the ones that make me concerned when I really have no reason to be. I guess what's next is updating my resume, getting a volunteer position in San Diego for a couple of months and bugging old professors for Letters of Recommendation.

My family as a whole has been really great throughout this whole experience but my parents (being the educators that they are) are already showing signs of unsatisfaction. I'm not saying that I want them to leave me alone since I graduated college, I'm merely saying that one day after graduating college is not the time to begin pressuring me already into getting my Masters. I've come to the conclusion that there is no pleasing them. I guess it just wouldn't be them to be any other way.

I'll be in San Diego for two more months trying to get my foot in the door without it slamming on my fingers, so we'll see how that goes.

FML. I hate acronyms.

Not only am I freaking out about not being able to find someone to take over my apartment by mid-June, my new neighbors are moving in this week and making an obscene amount of noise doing so.

All this around finals time.

Alright, let's get this over with.

I'm gonna address it now and that's it. Yes, Manny tested positive for PED. His story is that a doctor prescribed him some medicine that contained a drug that the MLB considers to be illegal and a breach of contract. Here's what I think. I have hope. Manny isn't everything. Sure, he boosted our confidence at the end of this season and he has contributed to our record-tying home record since about 1746 or so. But, honestly, he's not the only one producing. Orlando Hudson, Matt Kemp [who hit a grand slam a couple of innings ago in this current game], Rafael Furcal, and Andre Either have all been playing spectacularly lately. All the Dodgers need to do is not get discouraged. I've been a very pessimistic fan up to about this morning. I have faith in my boys! Though they never fail to disappoint every season, let's hope the biggest was with Manny and this morning's killer announcement. Los Angeles [and all the sports shows] is in an uproar but we have to realize that though he is the glue, where would he be if he had no one to stick together? ...

Didn't make sense?

Well, too bad. I feel good.

Music Suggestion of the Entry: "Steal My Sunshine" by Len. Because we could use a summery-sounding song right about now. [Yes, I know what it's about. I don't care. I want it to sound summery in here]
