Inside My Head number Seventy One. The last full length show, until December! NaPodPoMo, here I come.

“Jen Needs a New Job!” The saga continues.

*comment by Orange Tim, Professional Podcast Guest.

Are you a podcaster? Do you want to be one? Need a project to work on? Go check out NaPodPoMo! I will be there! You can still sign up, until November 1, 2008.

Not a podcaster? Maybe you are a vlogger on YouTube, and you want to be involved in a collaborative project? bluelaugh is looking for six other guys to join with him to become the “Sexy Sevens”. Further details about how to audition for this group are in the video below.

My poor little birdy has a tumor. Read the blog at Shawnogram.com for quick details about what is going on.

Then, go check out Hyper Nonsense, to hear more. This would be the Hyper Nonsense episode that I was not on. Fortunately, Erk from Erk Pod stepped in, and did a fabulous job as Shawno’s co-host! Shawno and I were recently on Erk Pod Round Table X, which was great fun. Erk is going to participate in NaPodPoMo too.

I also had the opportunity lately to be in the chat room for a few live shows put out by the All Things Azeroth podcast. If you play World of Warcraft, then you really want to be listening to this show! Both Medros and Graece will be podcasting for NaPodPoMo this year.

Today’s Haiku of Frustration is called: “Wicked Witch”. Got something that frustrates you to no end? Tell the world, at HaikuofFrustration.com.

Music by:
Lizards From Afar, with their brand new song, “Just a Girl”.

Lizards from Afar hold the honor of being the very first band to send me a friend request at the Inside My Head Podcast myspace page! Check it out. New content added often. New friends welcome.

Ammp, with a song called, “Go”.
Check out the video for that song, right here:

The new Yellowbook phone book came today. Before tossing the thing into the recycle bin (who still uses phone books, anyway?), I thumbed through the book’s back pages because that’s where the useful stuff is: The coupons. I clipped one out for Shawnogram favorite Louisa’s Place as well as one for a local Mexican chain called Taco Roco. (Buy one entree, get one free!) Armed with this shiny new coupon, Jen and I decided to take a walk to a nearby Roco franchise for tonight’s dinner. In the 2.5 years we’ve lived in SLO, we’ve had food from this place many, many times. Overall, we’ve found the restaurant’s food to be decent for the price. Tonight, Jen and I each had an order of Taco Roco’s crispy shredded-beef tacos.

Like any self-respecting Mexican joint should, the Raco offers free all-you-can-eat tortilla chips along with a serve-yourself salsa bar.

I chose the spicy, red salsa (does this stuff have a specific name?) ’cause I’ve had it before and I like it. (Jen tends to avoid salsa because she’s white she has a lot of food allergies.) The chips themselves are fine for what they are: Standard, corn tortilla chips. They’re fairly light (i.e. “thin”), and I’ve never detected much in the way of salt or seasoning with these chips. So, if you’re a salsa lover, these are the chips for you. The only salsa I’ve ever tried is the red stuff mentioned above. (I don’t know why I haven’t sampled the others. I guess I’m also white not that adventurous.) It’s got a good flavor and a nice kick, but its spiciness factor shouldn’t cause your cranium to spontaneously combust.

I found the tacos to be a bit bland. I was surprised by this, as I’ve always enjoyed Taco Roco’s steak soft tacos. (This was the first time I’d had the crispy tacos.) The steak soft tacos are an interesting contrast to these tacos. The soft tacos come with a nice combination of onions, cilantro and salsa. The tacos I had tonight were basic: Meat topped with lettuce and shredded cheese. And I don’t actually mind the basic approach. But, no seasoning? No salsa? Not even a little? To be honest, the same style of tacos from Green Burrito have more flavor. For what it’s worth, I did like the taco shells. Warm and crispy, they did a good job of holding the taco filling in without falling apart. (Some taco shells fail in these most basic of taco-shell requirements.)

Understand that I’m not putting Taco Roco down. I’ve always liked the place, and I think the restaurant has some good stuff on its menu. But I doubt I’ll have the crispy tacos again. Not unless I decide to provide my own garnish. Guess that’d give me a reason to be more adventurous at the salsa bar.
