Presentation on Welcome to Night Vale


Soon, I will be presenting a small power point on the wondrous and strange podcast titled Welcome to Night Vale. I feel as though this podcast, in the form of a radio show, is one of the more recent successes in the creative aspect of new media due to its rather dry humor and the strange surreal tales it tells. What do you think? If you have not yet listened, here is a link to Welcome to Night Vale on podbay along with more information on commonplacebooks.com. Give it a try, I'm sure you will like it (and by that, I mean you will be brainwashed into listening to more episodes, but that really isn't a bad thing).

Frozen Potty

A frozen toilet on a Polish Train
How would you like to sit on this toilet? Why is this toilet so cold in the first place? What are you doing on a cold train in Poland anyways? That is the question.

Bamboo


Bamboo is a rather strange tree. Bamboo is tall, skinny, and straight. Have you ever listened to a bamboo forest in the wind, the way they clack together as the wind whistles through them. It creates music in a way, beats both beautiful and eerie. Strange.
