You guys. I think I have found the answer to background noise. (Bird noise). It's AI, which blows, but it seems to work pretty good. I think it affects my voice a little, but you can let me know what you think on the next chapter.

Also, in case you're interested, Pixie says:

A boop a Doy. (whatever that means).

That's enough art history for me tonight.

I have always DETESTED LED lights. They make me feel horrible, physically and emotionally. I'm learning more about WHY. It's pretty dry and sciencey for my taste, but it's interesting. A discussion on old vs. new Christmas lights sparked the research.

It's still relatively easy to find incandescent bulbs, but since the, what - late nineties? - they've been phasing them out. A world lit by LED is not a world I wish to inhabit.

Go ahead, choose which tree you like best.
I won't hold it against you if you choose the wrong one.

Hi everyone!

My good friend Annah and I have started a collaboration to last throughout December. We are reading the gospel of Luke, and will have a new chapter for you every day until Christmas! I hope you'll enjoy listening and reading along.
Happy holidays and God bless us, every one!

Would you like to hear more psalms and Scripture from me?

First, I must apologize for my lack of content, especially reading. I'm feeling kind of... Not in the mood. I know that's a lame excuse, and I should plug ahead anyhow. Please forgive me!

Second, has anyone heard of Richard Thompson? I am thoroughly devouring Juliana Hatfield's 2008 memoir "When I Grow Up", and the music of Richard Thompson is the focal point of chapter 23. Juliana is on tour with her merch guy, Brian, and sound guy, Tim. Whomever is driving the tour van gets to choose the music. They don't all like the same music. Sometimes, if someone is particularly tired or sick or hungover, they may ask the driver to "please not play that" and he or she will usually oblige. Tim loves Richard Thompson, and Juliana can't stand him. It goes on from there and is quite amusing. I'm actually thinking about recording this chapter, as it tickled me so. Anyway... I've never heard of Richard Thompson, but after Juliana's detailed account of her dislike of his music, I've gotta go give him a listen.

Hi everyone! Potential great news! I've ordered myself this pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I'm hoping that if I wear them while recording, it'll muffle the bird talk a bit... Hopefully a lot! Then I'll be able to record during the day, which means LOTS MORE Nancy for you!

Cross your fingers!

I've never read any Agatha Christie, but I found this old book of my Dad's and began reading it. I'm on chapter five and am finding it quite engrossing. Just looked on GoodReads, and was surprised by many one star reviews. Apparently it's one of her least popular books.

I've started a new Nancy reading! Don't worry, I'll definitely be finishing The Leaning Chimney. I found The Haunted Carousel on Archive.org and decided to start it while I'm away from laptop.
