bored beyond belief #44 – A disgruntled 50 and a T

May 20, 2009

Listen here [31.20]

Listener discretion advised (no offense)

A Giant-Sized, double-issue bored beyond belief!

Teresa joins me to wish me warm birthday wishes – I have reached the big 5-0. She offers me useless advice about becoming a “senior”

Her menopause is improved now that she’s on birth control pills  (“ping-ping”) and the regrets of never having an abortion.

Teresa fulminates about the word “senior”. Teresa insists that the phrase “mature adult” is an oxymoron.

Joe G. is in his “golden years”.

What’s new with California besides Miss California. Can you say “insolvency“?

I miss trash piling up in the streets – then I blabber & reminisce about the 1960’s/1970’s.  Teresa asks if my teens were the “best years of [my] life”.

Digital TV and re-seeing the wonders of blaxploitation movies! The wonderful Pam Grier!

What was it like growing up in the 1970’s? Remember trash pick-up strikes?

What was the #1 song was on the day of your birth?

What plans might I have for my 50th birthday?

Groaning about my health issues – I’m a senior now, after all. Would you want to be awake for surgery? My health insurance won’t pay for the less invasive procedure.

The young try to be respectful to seniors like me…

Kansas City – Wilbert Harrison
Do Wah Diddy – Manfred Mann
Oh, Pretty Woman – Roy Orbison (Japanese style)
Ringo - Lorne Greene
Venus – Frankie Avalon

EXTRA DOUBLE ISSUE BONUS! – the wise words of “Miss California” (thanks to Lisa Nova)

bored beyond belief #36 – Teresa’s Lament

October 18, 2008

Listen here [12:00]

It’s Teresa Ortega’s birthday phone call.

Part 1:
She’s feeling older. She’s entered into the “time of life”.
Teresa’s laments about menopause:

  • She’s gotten it earlier than when she thought it would happen.
  • Menstruation – It’s more convenient, but not cured.
  • Visiting witch doctors for cures.
  • She started menstruation at 10 years of age.
  • Her girlfriend got started with the menopause later.
  • Hysterectomies and her uterus is ours.
  • Very tired…The reproductive system is breaking down like a camp site.

Part 2:
Menopause is different for the lesbians.
Get those bits out of there
It feels unfair to go through all of the bleeding if you’re not going to have kids.
Lesbians had children in different ways in the past.
The Family Unit is a source of evil in the world.
Sarah Palin is evidence of how far women have come.
Annoyed how people speak about Palin in the media.
Pet peeve about how the media make Palin out to be sexy.
Betty White + Obama
As long as they can read.

Parts 3:
Teresa’s charitable thoughts about children.
She’s did not come out as a lesbian so that she could go on a cruise with lesbians and their children.
Child hater.

Incidental music.
Peggy Lee – “I Enjoy Being a Girl”

Outro:
I’ve been busy, busy, busy…just like you.

bored beyond belief #32 – from Vegas cramps to LA memories

August 22, 2008

Listen here [14:09]

Music:
Suite 666 - “Vegas Heat”*

The trip to Las Vegas started with cramps (oh, Irritable Bowel Syndrome!)

Vegas: the fun introverts’ and agoraphobics’ hell

Met some Freaks from the Freaks Podcasting Network:

**Mila & Jayna don’t know Peterson Toscano very well…

Kentie from The Flatus Show joined the conversation.

On to Los Angeles

Teresa was her usual, typical self.

Missing LA and not missing it so much.

Should I change the name of the podcast?

What to do with the podcast now that the original purpose for it is done.

Favorite podcasts (personal & eclectic & informative):

  • The Flatus Show (Kentie and his Bible studies, Brenda Starr updates, & ukulele songs)
  • Hot Fossils & Rebel Matters (Ninja & Special K and their sound-scapes of museums, cultural events, & tech stuff)
  • Mandrake Society Radio (JW and his personal thoughts and interviews with performers)

Music:
Zox – “Towards Los Angeles”*

*from the Podsafe Music Network

Post-script:
Marvin is concerned (again)

Families: remember to pray
