All GODFATHER, all day in prep for tonight's chat with Christina Rice – my first return guest! – on all things Corleone, a chat made all the more fun by continued PodRelief thanks to the ease of recording with the Mac Mini, the Scarlett 2i2, and my beloved Audacity. Hoping this trend continues and helps bring back my love of doing the show, the last eight months of conversations –while satisfying and creatively invigorating – having been technologically nightmarish and stress-inducing: here's to a newfound ease in the recording process. The day awaits.
I love you, GODFATHER, BUT…
I won’t be adding cardboard-framed pictures of Pacino, DeNiro, and Brando to my shelves anytime soon. Sorry.
Can tell it's been a stressful eight podmonths when a recording configuration finally "just works" and I don't know what to do when I don't have to improvise another workaround. Relief continues.
(re-re-re-re…)watching:

dreamt in FAR CRY last night – liberations, Supremos, Chorizo, etc etc... Kirby's waging a war with a stick across our arctic tundra in which winter cold has returned for a day or so before it pisses off for spring weather before that in turn pisses off for a return to winter cold: ah, Ohio winter in this, our era of plague (covid / stupid / take your pick) and Manchin-continued irreversible climate change - but hey, we still have heat and (much less brown, mostly clear now) hot water... GHOST PROTOCOL still holds up – realized that it wasn't GP I couldn’t remember but ROGUE NATION; FALLOUT I remember quite well – Vanessa has that effect - but I can’t remember a thing about ROGUE NATION – was that the one with the plane? ... working: the fourth module, the final part of the first zine – or at least that's the plan; want to try it and learn how to zine before I commit to zining bigger things... back to work / the day awaits.
