Jared, i hate you for being done with uc apps.
of course, instead of working on said application (due monday night, haven't started the essays - procrastination YEA!), i've gotten myself all worked up into a lather over a new blog idea. still check it out i think it's fantastic -
TASPER VOICES FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
okay so if you go to the blogger front page there's a notice for a free trial of something called audblog, which most of you skipped over in your haste to post. however, being my easily-distracted-computer-geek self, i investigated. audblog is this service where you call on the phone and record a message, which is then automatically posted to your blog. the deal is that each member gets a free trial, not each blog - so, conceivably, each of us could call and record a message to the blog for everyone to hear. how cool would that be? it's four minutes long, so we could get a song from all you musicians out there - yay, eunice-piano! - with some time to spare for holiday greetings.

i was thinking it would be cool if everyone could record a little bit of what they've been up to - so, like, john could play us a song he just wrote, and brian could gift us with a little bit of monologue action, and olga could read us a poem, and adam could like talk crazy latin, or play us some chords on his NEW guitar (or he could just post), and yablon could spew hipster pretention all over the phone - well, you get the drift. or, alternatively, that's really geeky and no one has to do it. (although could you please?)

CORRECTION: dammit, the free trial is only one minute long. still, that's enough time for a little snippet of song, at least...

me and tae-yeoun thought it would be nice to have a deadline, so everyone will do it and we'll get lots of these rolling in like presents. i picked the first day of hanukkah, completely arbitrarily (well, also to show a little jew crew pride.) that's three weeks away, which gives you plenty of time to, like, rehearse and stuff (just kidding!). of course, as tae-yeoun says, "Meaning, everyone will in the true TASPian sense post like a day after the deadline."

okay so if you're a quarter as excited about this as i am, you're going to want to go do it now. you sign up for the free trial here. don't worry, they don't ask for your credit card number or anything, and i have their word that they won't give out your number (blogger's pretty good about that stuff). one thing - it IS a long distance call, which kind of sucks. but it's short, and think of the money you'll save, not having to call each and every one of us! um...please?

p.s.: happy birthday john!
