But another thing I won't do is try to transcribe in real-time. Stop-start makes it much easier. This is going to take a while, though.

If your tape recorder supports it, I recommend getting a foot pedal to turn on and off the pause feature....

Good luck transcribing, P-C. I hate transcribing and working from tapes, which is why I just take notes. I know some people love tape recorders -- for me, the time and bother of listening and transcribing outweighs the accuracy advantage. The only exception might be straight Q&As, but I've only doone a few of those.

Am I the only one who spent half an hour trying to decide if my face is symmetrical, and playing with photos of myself in Photoshop to determine which is my good side, after reading the conversation upthread? (Conclusion: Not quite symmetrical, right side is my better side, left side doubled looks weirdly like my brother.)

No, but now I'm going to.

I haven't done it with photoshop, but I've stood in front of a mirror and bisected my face with another mirror to see how different the two sides were (not today, I did this a while ago after reading an article about it). Very different indeed. The right side of my face is much sharper and better defined than the left side. 9eta: I think of my right side as my "good" side, when I give it any thought, but when I do the doubling thing it's definitely yields a more evil and darker face than daoubling open and friendly left side)

Timelies, everyone! If I have any sense, I should get offline shortly and start finishing Crip Noir 1.0, but I said "if" I and sense, so it may be a while. Karl, insent to profile.

Yeeah, this is totally a pain and not worth it. Now I'm just listening and taking notes, and transcribing if something sounds quotable.

Is Aimee putting on her makeup while nursing, because if so, she and the Princessa just have it going on with their efficient while gorgeous selves.

Aimee's my freakin' hero. Damn the girl is good.

Ok, P-C, do NOT allow your mother to see the photos of you holding Emeline - she will doubtless increase her clamour for a daughter-in-law and the subsequent grandbabies.

All buffistas pictured = foamy.

I just tried the mirror thing, and I now believe my left side is the better one. Something just a bit more delicate about the features.

Since turning 35, I have suddenly become all girly. Wore lipstick to work this week, and am now in the process of applying L'oreal Bomber perle Jet-Set nail polish. Apparently to impress my therapist, and then the guys at the bike shop, where I am going to peruse the book racks and saddlebags. And? Helmets. I need a new one.

To be completely crazy, I may add a smidge of powder to my nose. It claims to have micro-sponges in it to prevent shinyness - but after a bike ride of 7 or so miles, it'll probably give out.

I hope Emmett's better this morning.

He's about 101 this morning. So sick and uncomfortable, but not dire. I'm guessing it'll have a three day course, and he'll be pretty schlumpy this weekend. Poor little poot. On the other hand, he'll be at home watching cartoons all day when he's not sleeping on the couch, so that is one of his favorite activities.
