I can't believe I keep forgetting to do this! Thank you to brynspikess for the lovely shiny v-gift!

I only have one class on Tuesdays, so I wanted to spend today avoiding my homework by recording the fic I chose for

I'm so far behind on LJ, it's not even funny. A belated happy holiday/end of year/winter season to everyone, and belated happy birthday wishes to brynspikess, colls, and fishpatrol!

I just finished up the family obligation portion of my winter break, and I have the rest of this week and all of next week before the Spring semester starts. Time to catch up with fandom. I have ( Read more... )

Today I went through Lilac City and broke it up into sections of roughly 5000 words each, give or take a couple hundred to fit with the chapter breaks. Doing that makes the recording project seem more manageable somehow. Instead of facing down almost 140k words and who knows how many hours of recording, I'm looking at 27 recording sessions of ( Read more... )

Making another update to my Master Podfic post, I realized that I have now posted a total of 20 podfics, and five of those were posted within the last five days. O_o

There are several small, boring factors. A slow start to the semester, a cooperating voice, a drive to make up for the podfic failure that was May, and a desire to get over 100 points ( Read more... )

 Okay, so May did not work out as planned. There are excuses - construction across the street, time spent out of town, a cold that knocked me on my ass - but still. I am disappoint.

But! Hey! My voice is back, and my summer semester schedule is weirdly conducive to making podfic!

As guilty as it makes me feel, I have to put the epic length podfics ( Read more... )

 I have two more weeks of classes before the Spring semester is over, and everything is due next week. Two presentations and three papers, and then I'm in the clear until June.

I have podfic plans. Oh yes I do. I am excite.

I wanted to record a ton of podfic over winter break, but that break was swallowed whole by Christmas. May, however...requires ( Read more... )

This year is moving so incredibly fast. Ever since January, it's been one thing after another - studying for and taking the GRE, writing my admissions essay and corralling all the necessary elements of my admissions packet, taking that horrible statistics course, and of course work, with all its myriad stresses and preoccupations and hours of ( Read more... )

 So really, I am going to post more recs. I swear.

Life is hectic. My old boss, who I liked a lot, moved to California last month. My new boss has been on the job for a couple of weeks, and I think she's great, but she keeps handing me projects. Nickelhusband made the mistake the other day of saying something dismissive about my job, and I just ( Read more... )

 So, I have a few projects in the pipeline, in various stages of completion ( Read more... )

Another beautiful day in Chicago. It was a snowy/sleety freezing mess yesterday, and it wasn't exactly warm today, but the sun made all the difference. We took the bus out of our neighborhood to this little vegan cafe, and then walked around checking out record stores. I paid fifty cents for a vinyl copy of Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down, which ( Read more... )
