Just got the often-dreaded call from post-production.
All is well; they are happy not only with the tracks but with the technicalities that support them.
No problems.
Ah.
Ah.
The moment: my head is on the career guillotine, and I realize that the pardon I've sought with diligence to receive has been granted. So many things could go wrong. So many bare toes upon which to potentially step.
Oh.
Saved.
Saved for another day.
Barbara mentions 'Joe', with whom the Faux Press conducted an earlier interview.
There was a time in my early writing career when going to the post office meant sending submissions to poetry magazines. The anticipation, excitement, & fear were all part of the experience. When the plexiglass & cameras appeared, visiting the USPS lost its charm. Thankfully I no longer have to hawk my works over the transom and my neighborhood PO harkens back to the days when not everyone was treated as a potential criminal. Thank goodness.
The music is military code for "mail call".

"Promoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted function of government. Clearly, there is no basis for exempting economic development from our traditionally broad understanding of public purpose." - Justice John Paul Stevens, affirming
"Under the banner of economic development, all private property is now vulnerable to being taken and transferred to another private owner, so long as it might be upgraded....The government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more. The founders cannot have intended this perverse result" - Sandra Day O'Connor, dissenting

Have been recording D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterly's Lover" as an audio book these last weeks for podcast. Thanks to Lucas Gonze, found this cool little embedded player creation device from webjay.org.
The tool allows you to cue up an intro or promo, and as many as 99 mp3 files, and a discreet outro for visitors to play - embedded in your site.
Don't know what the inclusion of this wee bit of code is going to do to this site's feed, but, here goes nuthin'.
POST NOTE: Yahoo! bought 'em out and closed 'em down. Gone.
My neighbor, Jackie, sings. Loud. Without shame. I hear her through the thin walls. Mostly in the mornings.
"You're crazy, Jan," says Jackie.
She's right.
Jackie sings always of love.
I love living in Latino neighborhoods, have done since 1/1/1995; there's musica todos los dios. Todos los dios. Cantar me.
Made you do it. Made you dance. Insert silly grin.

Have been trying to put these two videos together since I first joined the vlogging community. Thanks to Adrian Miles for writing the program / system called Rhizome that allowed it to happen.

Work hard; use the proper tools. A public service announcement from the Faux Press.
Missed y'all! More later to be sure.
Was away for a week that turned into more than a week. While I'm now back, it will take a few days to catch up - a process I'm really looking forward to. Was able to download email but not enough time to participate or download videos until last night. Missed everyone deeply. Lots has happened with lots of us.
