my own apartment!

yes, i am finally back in my own place! with internets! and cable!

so, you ask...when is the triscast coming back?

i.dont.know.

but i have an idea for a live broadcast, a virtual housewarming!

but i just wanted you all to know that my nightmare is pritty much over. and i couldnt be HAPPIER.

so, yeah...i took oh...umteen months off from this thing, almost lost funding a few times...

just in case you still care:

*i finally got a REAL job. the commute is hell and thanks to the shitty economy and rents in the greater philly area being EXTREMEly fucking high...i'm still in dad's basement.

*we got cable but still no DSL at casa del dad...feh.

*i am happy and sane. okay, well...happy

*i had a blast at Balticon 42...and i got a ride home with some of the staff members and rode in the back seat with the "ghost" of honor - Douglas Adams...heh

* i have that itch to get back into podcasting again, but don't hold your breath folks, real life comes first...besides i have to step up with my a-game...podcasting isnt the same old rodeo anymore...there are a lot more people with talent this time round, and 1.5 hours of me bitching about my job and my neighbors aint gonna cut it anymore - but i will say that i've got some crazy ass ideas that could take root in when i do start casting again....

* for people who arent sure what i WAS about... please click on the RECOMMENDED PODCASTS for my 'better' shows...they aint all winners and i cringe to think of what i still have on this archive...sheesh.

* everlasting skype chatters, wherever you are....systris still loves her peeps!

bye for now.

Hello all, it's me again...and there's still no show!

yeah well on top of life in exiled adulthood (living in dad's basement, dealing with stepfamily, futile search for real employment), i have to deal with the fact that the household's phone and later and more importantly DSL hath been turned off. so while i could in theory produce a show on my still fucked up computer (new computer held up by faulty components and co-builder personal/financial drama[which is way worse than mine, btw]) and upload it via going to either Kinko's or the community college where i am registered (hmm...which one is CHEAPER...and will give me less bullshit about installing filezilla??? hmmm). it's just that now i am finally working full time again...BUT....

it's a SHITE job doing pharmaceutical marketing (what the FUCK does that mean, raequel?) it MEANS...that i sit in a tiny cube calling up every gaddamned CVS, WALGREENS, and RITE AID in the 48 contiguous states (not many HI and AK pharms on my workload), trying to keep track of timezones so that i don't say good afternoon to a west coast pharm tech when its morning there, trying not to blow my top when i get harshed out or hung up on by some indignant fuckmook pharm tech or worse the pharmacist themselves, trying to get them to 'commit' to recommending said product as opposed to the fifty others in the same class of drugs that do the same thing and try to make the good numbers so that when your call time/completions are posted three times a day, you don't look like a slacker jackass! *sigh*

and i get paid the empress-like sum of ten beans an hour to do all this shite. i HATE this job. i'll shout it to the rooftops, i fucking HATE this job. but at least it isn't my last job....btw, if any of my former co-workers from ICR read this....FUCK YOU in the NECK with a rusty TIRE IRON covered in BARBED WIRE...i fucking hate you you fucking fucks.

*sigh again*

so...yeah i promise after i pull a zine out of my ass for the Philly Zine Fest this coming week...yikes! i will get around to doing Triscast 28. by the by, if you haven't check out the revamped ZineVox - yes i want to do it again. zines are STILL FUCKING RELEVANT, you hear that you monitizing-hungry web 2.0 hipster douches...RELEVANT.

and now back to your regularly scheduled personal psychodramas, you've shure nuff had more than a taste of mine.

Much Love Hugs And Kisses to Nate and Di,and their lovely furbaby George... who made me feel oh so welcome and relaxed at their abode during Labor Day weekend down in SC! i promise when i get my shit together i will welcome you up here in the loverly Killadelphia Tri-State Region (300+ reported murders and counting! gotta love it)

go phillies!

love always,

raequel aka systris.

ps to tee morris: bro-lo SUCKS for what he did. fro-headed wanker.

hey folks,

just to let you know... after i thought i'd fixed my computer, it crapped out on me, so all of my triscast original files are still trapped in my hard drive. right now i am working with my friend to build a new computer which i have lovingly named Khora, after my late grandmom Cora, and literally means -

khora. n. a formless absence, and yet creative; a nothing that also evokes a future possibility; a hope; a promise.

it seems fitting!  if anyone happens to have the first 8 triscast shows saved, feel free to send them to me, in case i can never recover my data again

thanks to all who have stayed hoping i will record, i think that once i get my new pooter up and running the triscast will return. that is a definate promise.

oh and Nate And Di...where are you! i'm visiting you in THREE WEEKS and i need to know what's going on...:-P

after two hours on the phone with DELL tech support, plus some guesswork of my own...the PC is fixed and none of my data was lost!

so the production of the next episode goes on without too much of a hitch! so remember kids, save all of your setup software, back up your hard drive and make sure that your virus/malware killers are up to date!

and a special note to whomever runs pwinsider dot com, your spambot and trojan planting ass is mine! if you are into prowrestling, do NOT go to that site! it will fuck up your computer if you aren't protected!

Just when I started to do stuff for ep 27, my hard drive crashed!!!!! So I am writing you from my sidekick to let you know that until this is resolved I can't do a gorram thing with the triscast or anything else I need my pc for.... Argh!

i manage a short show to explain my absence and to share some music with you.

interview with Jack Mangan

music by VNV Nation and Pearl Jam

this rounds off at 25 mins or so...it's commute size!

Hey folks, a lot of you (possibly) are wondering why the hell hasn't there been a podcast? well, cause life sucks. i've tried again and again and again to produce one but i hit a creative wall, my living conditions arent really that great to podcast in unless no one else is home, and i've been suffering from recurring Severe Depressive Disorder, culminating in a short stay in a crisis unit. yes, you read right, i signed myself into a hospital, a nutty koo koo hospital. it was only four days but hell when you cant cope, you cant cope.

so the podcast (and as well my desire to start print zines again) has taken a back seat to needing to take care of myself. i need to start managing my mental health, finding stable employment to pay off my debts and move out of my father's house and back into my own place, and just deal with the non-fun aspects of adult life before i can even think of doing anything with the Triscast or the millions of ideas bouncing around in my head that i want to go forward with. please bear with me, i'm down but i'm not out.

thanks for understanding

love always,
raequel aka systris

ps: whomever it is that is spamming my damn blog...stop IT!!!!

Well folks, this is my first and last podcast of the year...for the time being.

my life is turning sideways but not completely upside down, but not before i give you some podcasty goodness and some conspiracy ear-candy in honor of the dearly departed Robert Anton Wilson
thanks to the debut of the mysterious Agent Teallez and a year old interview with the owners of Germ Bookstore, which specializes in books on conspiracies, the occult and all manner cool weird stuff your mother warned you about.

oh, and also i've spent the past couple weeks becoming a Browncoat!

of course there's music involved, isn't there always from the Dead Kennedys, David E Williams, and Morcheeba - what a combo, eh?

well, so long for now and thanks for all the fish, fnord!
