If you've ever written a term paper before, you'll know my meaning when I say that they are a painful waste of effort. The teacher is the only one who reads it after you spent over a month planning, gathering materials, researching, writing draft after draft, and finally turning in the final copy on the day it's due. Term papers teach you patience, if nothing else...

 

...and my term paper has certainly been keeping me busy. I have been running here and there, worrying about last school projects for my last year in school, and having a fit. Well... not quite. But if you've been wondering why I haven't been keeping up with my Reviews, then you'll know I have a lot to think about. The rest of the AIO season is underway and I need to get caught up. I've officially turned in my term paper (hallelujah!), so now maybe my focus can be re-directed to the website. I have a lot planned!

The only excitement on the web right now is the mention of some AIO products over the past few years that haven't quite met the standards of AIO quality. Head on over to the Soda Fountain to read a little more about the common errors in the product line.

So I was doing a little surfing the web yesterday and discovered some AIO news. The next installment of the audio series, #42, will be titled, "No Way Out," likewise corresponding with the name of an AIO episode. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season; it looks to be pretty interesting.

As we should all be aware of, Eggshells [#542], airs on radio stations across the country today! Connie returns to Odyssey after her long trip and, after such a life-changing experience, the gang at Whit's End isn't sure how to act around her. It sounds to be a pretty interesting plot and mid-season opener. Be sure and tune in! I'll be flipping my dial today.

Don't forget that a new AIO episode, Eggshells, airs tomorrow! Zone in on what's going on in Odyssey. It looks to be a pretty interesting episode as Connie returns from her trip across the country. Find out what it's all about tomorrow!

Just a little aggravated about something. I tend to forget about some of my projects, one of which I mentioned as an upcoming update on the site. Blast. It looks like I should get back to work on that. Just keep waiting... patiently.

Well, the official information on the new radio show has finally been released! The Official Site has linked to a special website dedicated to behind-the-scenes information on "The Last Chance Detectives," a new series which will be airing for 12 weeks this summer. Click here to learn more. I didn't want to even talk about this until official information was released, even though a little was already released through Briargate Media. Apparently, Jason Whittaker will be in this spinoff-type series, yet it isn't exactly related to Odyssey. Don't ask me why. If you liked the videos produced years ago, then I'm sure you won't have too much trouble enjoying these dramas. I'm certainly looking forward to it.

 

News just seems to be popping up out of nowhere! Also at the Official Site, a new section has been released to get the word out about In Hot Pursuit. It contains a coloring page, a special interview, and further information. It's definitely worth checking out. The Whit's End website has also done this type of design in the past to familiarize web audiences with new Odyssey videos on the market. Check it out.

I was doing a little shopping yesterday for some AIO products and checking for availability, when I happened upon the new design to Tommy Nelson's website. It's definitely a step up from its previous design, although the pages load significantly slower. The site design is one I look forward to enjoying every now and then, so when I say something like that, it means that the website is very professional. It follows an orange and white layout and also includes large images of each product available. You may also be interested in checking out the newly-redesigned Tyndale.com as well, which was released not too long ago. It's interesting to point out that the Thomas Nelson website is blue and white. In case you didn't know, Thomas Nelson and Tommy Nelson are one and the same. They gave the name 'Tommy' to kid-ize the product branch, and AIO's product line is known under that name. Check the back of one of your albums!

Busy... busy... so stinking busy! I have been bombarded with so many things as of late and it's keeping me busy to the point of insanity. I have a research paper due Friday, a novel to read, study guide questions, character analysis packets, a project, another project, and yet another project, as well as graduation things to take care of. Whew! When will these "educators" let up? I feel as if I haven't really been lingering around even though I have kept you updated as I am so stinking busy! It looks as though things will clear up just a little in the days to come.

Wow, the Novacom Saga sure had us talking amongst ourselves! Back when the story arc aired, fans everywhere were excited for the new episodes dealing with Novacom and Andromeda. I was just glancing around the AIO site world and was able to re-enjoy the "Novacom Q&A" over at the Soda Fountain. Why not head on over as you await the new episodes this April?

Today is the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. He died so that we may be saved from our sins. It is Easter Sunday, perhaps one of the most special days of the year. So take some time out today. Pray, read God's Word, and remember the love of a humble servant: Jesus Christ.

Just in case you haven't noticed, the Official Site has finally posted the winners to the "Name the Album" contest. If you entered, I'm not going to release that information, so you're going to have to head on over and check it out for yourself. I'm still waiting around for a contest that I can legally enter (age matters we're talking about here).

There isn't anything really exciting going on in the AIO world this week. My lack of interesting updates explains it. However, you can head over to the Soda Fountain and have a go at the Trivia section. I'm still dabbling around with a few things. I'm sure you'll be seeing them soon.

As the beginning of the week just rolled around, I am looking forward to preparing more things for the site. I still need to work on getting the "Classics Albums" pages updated and reformatted, and after that I will be focusing on some other things. It should be a pretty tedious week. I also have a few fan reviews to get sorted onto the website, though that may wait another week or so. We'll see.

As a small update to enhance the site, I finished reformatting all the Albums pages to match the current look of the Albums section. I will be applying a similar format to the other sections over at Merchandise soon, and I will also be expanding the section even more. If you head over now, you'll notice that all the albums except for the Classics albums (haven't gotten to them yet) have nice, crisper pictures. Every album in the Original Series can be viewed from cover to cover in larger form. Also I've sprinkled a few images you may recognize in the newer albums. This is an ongoing project, so you won't be able to see what's been updated on the 'Site Additions' column at your right. I'll just have to let you know when things are taking shape. The Schedule for April is now up as well. Until the next update!

In case you're wondering, I don't have any I SLAP FLOOR jokes up my sleeve. I had considered posting information about a "new" Adventures in Odyssey album, and even an image of the preliminary cover art (an image I created myself), but I thought that would be a cruel thing to do. So I won't. I have, however, updated the Archives with last month's updates. Go slap somebody else's floor if you're looking for a good laugh.
