Venezuelan Internet Radio, anyone?

I'm wondering if anybody knows of any internet radio stations that
spend much of their airtime talking about politics. Oh, by the way, I
am interested in Venezuelan radio stations. I will check http://www.aporrea.org
to see if I can find anything there, but if anyone out there has any
information for me, I'd be happy to hear from you. I want to listen
to the radio while I'm working in the library.

To be honest, my job isn't the most stimulating one around, but I do
get to spend the day listening to music, podcasts, documentaries, and
the like while remaining productive. That's the key, right? While I'm
there, I have to get things done. Still, I thought that I could keep
my mind on Venezuelan politics during these working hours, and that
would facilitate my writing after work.

If you know anything, let me know.

Back to school

So the kids are back. Durham is awaking from its slumber. Even though so many of us who stay in town during its slumps complain quite a bit, I can't help but point out that there's something nice about the tranquil little city. Need I point out that the risk of being held at an intersection by a long line of drunken college students is minimal while we complain of boredom in the summer months?

This weekend I can anticipate avoiding Main st. as the bars and restaurants fill. Your days of quiet conversation while having a drink are gone for the next 9 months. Get ready to yell, or just stay at home. I think that yelling over a crowd in a bar loses its allure once you have no need for a fake ID, but that's just me talking.

As for myself, I have a lot of work to do. I shouldn't forget the fact that I'm spending this time being unproductive right now too. I should probably stay home, but... the mechanical bull at Shooters will be brought back from the dead. No! I shouldn't! I guess I'll be missing out.
