"Dolonade Tchup"

I've had a couple of authors tell me that the way I read certain passages was very different from how they pictured it, but they really enjoyed my interpretation of it.

Most smartphones even have a decent mic you can record into.

Gone has been just playing on repeat in my brain. Also (to a lesser extent) Last Night On Earth.

We are comparing them. These are all factors in the difference in wage.

Also, Canada has universal healthcare, which means it's less of a bargaining point for actors in their contracts. They can get higher wages (though remember, the Canadian dollar is lower than USD) because they don't have to trade it for health benefits (and universal dental getting added soon).

I have *so many thoughts*.

You gotta get out of that other place. It's just toxic sludge at this point.

I thought you meant the U2 song ('cause I've been revisiting Pop lately), and was thinking, "Wow, someone else has been relistening to Pop! What are the chances!?"

I think mine was the original Broadway production of Cats.

I remember listening to a bunch of alt-pop in the 90's, and they did a lot of playing around with channels. Like this track: music.youtube.com/watch?v=OyPQ...

I used to be a travel agent. I lived in hold. I remember once I spend three hours on hold (for an airline notorious for long hold times), finally got through and while I was giving them my number, the call got cut off, so I had to wait on hold another three hours to talk to someone again.

Sadly, I could not find any decent gifs of Johnny McGovern's "Soccer Practice" video.

Sounds fake. I don't think that's really a thing.

I called it from the beginning that they weren't reading emails, and they weren't reading anything about the USAID programs they were cutting, just feeding everything into LLMs and slashing whatever the summary told them to.

The only thing that surprises me is that they didn't use Grok.

As someone getting in to voice acting recently (and late in life), this is the thing I'm noticing the most. Not only is it a very crowded market, but the entry-level little indie jobs that could be a foot in the door to get your voice out on the market are being done by "good enough" AI.

Yeah, it's a bad year for allergies. My mom in Ottawa said it's bad out that way, too.

Fascinating idea. Need someone to do some audio tests?

I used to have that second one. Fascinating little book that probably worked before the digital age, but is completely impractical today.

Too many cries of "He can't do that, it's illegal!" Okay, yeah, but if no one stops him, then for all intents and purposes, it's legal. Been an interesting experience learning just how many of those vaunted "checks and balances" are basically "the honour system."

My usual earworm destroyer is Donovan's "First There Is A Mountain."
