Today I got a jump-start on producing my Sunday evening radio show. For some reason, speaking didn't come easy, as it took take after take for me to get my scripted lines down (I script this particular show out to give it that smooth, professional sound to it). I collected a few outtakes and made an MP3 of them... if you want to hear my version of frustration-on-the-job, you know where the contact box is wink

In other news, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Part II, the one involving my mother's side of the family. (Even years we'll do my dad's side on Thanksgiving Day, odd years my mother's side.) Just me, my brothers, my mom and my grandparents, should be a decent time. We don't see each other/talk as much as we should but we always seem to have a good time. All I know is it means another 2 hour drive back home loaded up with tryptophann! Anyone else having supplemental Thanksgivings I can crash? tongue

And now, a Metrosexual Moment with Jesus_Chrysler. I got my hair cut the other day, and much to my delight, this girl I've always been friendly with but hadn't seen in a couple of years all of a sudden was working at the salon I go to. So we caught up, she cut my hair, and recommended this cream instead of the usual mousse I'll use to give my hair a bit of shape. It's called American Crew forming cream and I love this shit. I'll never go back to that supermarket goo ever again. *BURP* now who's bringing the beer... *scratches nuts* ooo aaa

news. digging up, writing, reporting. i had a couple dj shifts too.. my favorite was on the oldies station. we only play 50s and 60s on that one.. it's legitimate oldies. the library is over 2,100 songs. (our music director is the rainman of music.. he has every album of every artist that's ever been on any billboard chart ever. since 1896. on its original format, cd, and mp3.. and he knows them all. but he's literally a genius. he should be mensa, but he doesn't see the point.) i just got tired of it, though. they hired me at 14 (hello labor laws) to do some basic board running.. during games, etc.. but on like, my second day, my boss was like. ok. your voice is too good for this. and gave me an air shift. lucky for me, a couple months later their PM news director quit.. i was there that day, did the broadcast. filled in "temporarily" every day - including holidays - for 5 years. in high school, the principal gave me a permission thing to leave school at 1 to go to work, and get A credits for 2 classes. (on my transcript and grade card, they show up as "office attendant" and guidance something or other.. but hey, free gpa boost and a paycheck, i'll take it.) it was pretty awesome, but i got tired of it. well, tired of the town i was living in, anyway. i dunno.. i'd go back to radio probably, but it's not a passion anymore. and around here, stations are so cut-throat. they'll call you while you're on air at your current station and be like ..hey. we think we might have a job you'd be interested in. that's some bullshit. or maybe i'm too loyal. i still do voiceover stuff for a couple stations where i have friends and PA for a ladies' basketball tournament held every year here. that's fun.. i like that stuff.

does your place use SS32/voicetrax? i noticed you were talking mp3, and i know ss32 uses mp2 and wav... but there are so many other programming schedulers. or did you record it, burn it, rip it? (i'm too impatient for that.. minidiscs are my bitches if i can't just edit on the computer.)

Sorry it's taken me ages to reply blush

the mp3 sounds intriguing! I'll "contact" you smile And I say, nuttin' wrong with being metro. I'm impressed btw, I rarely brush my hair let alone purchase and use "product" wink

Hmm, snow, well, we've got 26" of base, not much yet but gettin' there...Sunshine doesn't make snow (but they sure move it around a lot) so it can get icy (and rocky and tree-ey tongue) but some snow is better than no snow...Louise makes snow therefore is not my favourite and they don't get as much of the white stuff all around...when does it really start dumping over there?

Thx for complimenting my pix...you are truly too kind. blush Hope all is well with you!! kiss
