So, I know I haven’t posted much in the last little while. I’ve not been in much of a blogging mood.
There are a few things which aren’t going particularly well in my world right now, but they’re the kind of things that you can’t talk about on your blog. So, I’m not really in the mood to be all witty and funny.
I’ve also been in the studio finishing up the final touches on my latest audiobook creation, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. It’s completely recorded, mixed, and mastered. I spent the weekend finishing up the music, burning the discs, doing the cover art, etc. All I’ve got left to do is give it one final listen-through for QC purposes, fix any errors I find, and then I’ll be ready to release it to the world. And, even if I say so myself, this is, by far, the best audiobook I’ve done yet. The sound quality is excellent, I am really pleased with my performance, and Frankenstein really is a great book–nothing like any of the movies I’ve ever seen by the same name.
What else? I’ve started trying to run 30 minutes every couple of nights to help get back into shape. I’ve stopped buying my lunch at work every day, choosing instead to bring in leftovers from my cooking. I planted my container garden (pictures coming soon), and I’m still continuing to make my awesome no-knead bread at least a couple of times a week.
Luke the Dog is dealing with his seasonal allergies again. He gets topical staph infections every time he swims in the lake…I think he’s probably allergic to some of the algae that grows in there or something. So, he doesn’t get to go swimming as much as he’d like to–which is pretty much all the time since he’s a Golden Retriever.
I’ve been listening to the audiobook version of the EXCELLECT Hunger Games books by Suzanne Collins. I’d highly recommend them for people who like well-written but not-pretentious novels. I’ve not gotten this engaged in any novels since the Harry Potter series, and the also excellent Fablehaven series.
Oh yeah, and I’ve decided that I’m going to start a separate photoblog for posting all my photos. I’ll probably still post a few here on this blog, but I wanted a single place where I could put all my photos and find them easily. Plus, the wordpress theme for the photoblog is SWEET! You can visit it at http://photoblog.mattarmstrongmusic.com. I haven’t tweaked all the settings yet, but I love the main entry page.
That’s about all that’s going on with me. I’ll try to do a better job with posting my happenings here but, let’s face it, now that the nice weather’s starting to show up, I’d much rather be outside or doing something naturey than writing epic blog posts.
‘Till next time!
