11 32 pm pdt   [ after glow ]

I'm on a bit of a high. I went to drop off the absolute last installment of graphics for the televsion show I've been working on, and the director asked to test my voice. As I rendered a clip of a person's glowing aura, I spent two hours reading the script line by line, over and over. My voice got raw, which the director said she liked. I was nervous, but now that I'm done, I feel giddy and exhausted.

I can't believe I'm narrating a television show! It seems so odd since I am uncomfortable with my voice. I could get used to this...

I had trouble keeping my pace slow and mixing the right amount of drama and academia. But it was a fun challenge. I'm sure I'll never be able to watch the show without blushing....

I am truly exhausted. I was very low on gas when I left work today and I worried a lot that I would run out before I reached a station. But I did make it. I've also been sleeping poorly, or rather, I've been waking up too early each day. All in all, my body is craving sleep and i am ready to indulge it...

 

3 years:

three years ago today: I just had a fascinating encounter with my neighbor.

two years ago today: It was just the way he addressed me, like we had been talking for hours.

one year ago today: You grew up through the depression and world war II, and so you have a different concept of wastefulness than I do. I will never understand your viewpoint, because I didn't grow up like that.
