Headed off to deepest Brooklyn to begin recording the thing I can't tell you about because formal contract not signed yet, but.

Pros:  Yay!!!

Cons:  It's Sunday morning.  I hate morning.  I have no brain.  I am going to forget something.  I can't have any dairy products for the next 48 hours (recording tom'w, too). I can't have any Coke Zero, either. Do I have enough snacks that don't have any dairy or citrus or spice?  I get cranky & lose focus without snacks.  We have to turn off the heat when I record so we don't get the hum of the heater. Will I be too cold? Too hot in the little booth?  Where's my sweater?  Where's my shoes? Do I have enough rides left on my MetroCard? Should I stop typing because I'm gonna be late?

*wildly excited face* It's the announcement for all major television and radio channels that we are soon to see SWORDSPOINT: THE FILM, isn't it. It has the executive team of "The Hobbit" quaking in fear and despite not having been scripted yet, is already Oscar-nominated. I knew it.

I read this to Ellen just now, and she's feeling MUCH BETTER NOW, thank you. Also laughing like a pack of hyenas.

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU AND ELLEN TOO (of course)

*still wiping tears of laughter* Oh, how I wish!

Yes! It's about time :>)

Of course, an audiobook of Privilege of the Sword would be good too. And I have Audible credits :)

Have you seen the article in the latest New Yorker about the pianist recording a Charles Ives piece? I've only just started it -- it looks like it bears slow and careful reading, plus an effort to listen to at least one recording of the relevant music -- but he talks about needing to load up on Studio Food before he heads out to do the recording.

It made me think of you. A lot. You'll laugh and laugh when you see it.

Hooray!

Oh, yes: Delia was just reading that very paragraph to me at the breakfast table! I should read it, too - and then put it up here, so they understand it's not all just tuxes & roses....

Great minds think alike.

Wish you were here - you could be making me Nutritious Snacks without dairy or citrus or salt or oil or heat...! I do get breaks. Seem to running on Apple Juice, mostly.
