Bulletproof Assignment

It won't protect you from gunfire -- rather, it's a blog challenge.

If you read Dear Soulmate and liked or related to it

or even if you didn't. I need you to do this for me.

This American Life, previously plugged in my post about the Rubber Room, broadcasted a special Valentine's Day episode called "Somewhere Out There." Featured are three stories about the difficulty, excitement, even possibility involved in finding The One, either in friendship, romance, or comedy. It deals so much with the topic I'd considered that I second-guessed my originality...and then realized I posted Dear Soulmate in the same week as Valentine's Day and during the rise of Natasha Bedingfield's "Soulmate" to the top of pop song charts.

Okay, so my thoughts are culturally influenced. Accidentally, I might add. Anyhow, do you and your openness to chance a favor and consider the real life results in This American Life experiences. Subscribe to it! Listen to it! Tell me what you think about it! I'll love you even more than I do now!

P.S. A good time to knock out the hour long audio episodes is in before-you-start-dreaming installments. Give yourself something to think about while wondering why you're still awake at 1:45 in the morning.

Definitely like these.

You're right - it's a nice thing to pop some headphones in and listen to this just before you drift off...
