The End. No, for real. Bye.

     Sorry, everyone, I was stuck in a closet. . .for about a year. Once I got out, I thought, "Hey, I'm a fade-away Adventures in Odyssey blog that only lasted about a year. I should do a good-bye post!" [Yes, I sometimes do have lengthy conversations with myself. ; ) ] Well everybody, it was a good run. It's been full of jokes, Photoshopped pictures, the funniest podcast ever, the AIO reboot, and, my shining achievement, the Odyssey Squirrel. It still makes me laugh that the only thing mentioned by the most brilliantly creative AIO fan, Kevin McCreary, on the most popular Odyssey fan site ever's podcast. . .is a a blog where I smashed on the keyboard and pretended I was a squirrel. : ) Well, in case I don't see ya (which I can assure you I won't), "good morning", "good day", and "good night"!

Wallpaper #3: Whit's End

Wallpaper 2: Blackgaard Saga with animals (or "Wallpaper 2, eh?" for our Canadian viewers)

Green Ring Conspiracy Wallpaper

We're not done with this. . .not by a long-shot.

Update: Jimmy Blogger must read Odyssey Way! He fixed it! I'm going to name my first son after him.

Album 53 has now ended. I have 4 entire cups of tears sitting around my house just in case aliens try to come in (probably 60% of you get that joke). Sorry I haven't been posting lately, but Blogger messed up their system and now 70% works.

Have I been left behind?

Uh. . .I'm still here. Did I miss something?

Two random posts in a row, but this is a trailer that I made for an upcoming film (not really). Hope you enjoy. PS. 10 seconds in the music starts. Don't be alarmed.

Happy Easter!

Whit: Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

No better place to be, than chillin' with the Tooth Fairy in Odyssey!

Beginning of rant. 

Announcing. . .the best episode of the Ceiling Fan Podcast ever! Seriously, there should be a music video of "Tooth Fairy and Me"! Even if you're not a "fan" of the Ceiling Fan (then you're a liar 'cause who doesn't like a good podcast) listen to this episode!
End of rant.

The Imagination Station Book 2

     In the second Imagination Station book for ages 7 and up, Attack at the Arena, cousins Patrick and Beth travel to ancient Rome. At the Roman Colosseum, Emperor Honorius is hosting a gladiator battle in celebration of a war victory. Beth attends the event as the emperor’s slave; Patrick attends as a monk’s apprentice but is taken prisoner and sent to fight in the arena. During their adventure, the cousins meet Telemachus (a true historical figure), a monk who believes that fighting is wrong. Telemachus is willing to risk everything—even his life—to stop the killing.                                                  

 This book is interesting to younger readers and teaches readers, young and old, interesting historical facts about Emperor Honorius, Telemachus, and the colosseum in Rome.  Although older readers may become a tad bored with the short sentences, this book will be widely enjoyed by younger readers. Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you Tyndale for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book to review.

April Fools

Just in case you guys didn't know, the "Pranks for the Memories" Sampler pack doesn't exist. It was an April Fools joke.

PS. You can now listen to 4 parts of "The Green Ring Conspiracy" on the radio! Don't forget the discussion blog for the new album!

New Sampler Pack

(Click to enlarge)

Some of you may remember the picture to the right that was posted on the AIO Facebook Fan page a while ago. What I just noticed was at the top left of the picture there is a teaser for a new sampler pack. Today, they released a full-resolution version of the first sketch which you can see at the bottom right. This sampler pack is called "Pranks for the Memories" and includes the episodes "Pranks for the Memories", "I Slap Floor", and a new episode that is yet to be released! You can see the title of the new episode here or you can pre-order this album that is scheduled to released on May 23 this year here.

Interview with Cristina Pucelli

A new Official AIO Podcast is out with an interview with Cristina Pucelli, voice of Emily Jones:


Cristina Pucelli chats with Bob and Jesse about voicing Emily Jones, how she got started in acting, and more.


If your aren't too sure about how you feel about the character of Emily yet, listen to the rest of TGRC to learn more about her personality. 

*Sigh*. . . ."The Green Ring Conspiracy" is out. . . .I'm not as excited as I used to be about previous albums because I downloaded this album a month early. I don't regret downloading it, but I'm not as excited as I used to be. Eugene already recorded the episodes so he is a little bored now too (see right).

     Anyway, I'm not going to review the episodes individually because all of the album is best reviewed as a whole. 

     That's all for now.

Happy St. Patricks Day!
