Spawning Stories

Would you be disturbed if someone walked up to you and said they "Spawned" their child? I kind of would, it just sounds creepy if you mention spawn to refer to something living. Spawn doesn't sound like an appealing way to describe a living thing, especially a child. Unless of course you are referring to something as the spawn of (Devil/Satan/Insert other name) there's an exception to every rule of course.

So random thoughts aside, I thought I'd return to some not so regularly scheduled blogging! I felt it was a good time to write an entry, especially since I haven't recorded a new podcast yet due to a new lack of editing software (I'll get to that in a second) However it does look like I'll be posting monthly Podcasts which is fine by me. less money to pay to Libsyn.

So I generally use Adobe Soundbooth CS5 for my audio editing and recording. I use Soundbooth because Audacity just sucks when I try to use it. I've been using the free trial and unfortunately ran it out a few days ago. right now I'm trying to learn Sony ACID Xpress temporarily until I can afford to but Soundbooth, which I love using! So until then it's probably using iPod Recorder and most likely Aviary's Music Editor.

Onto my Radio Station news. I work at KPDO 89.3 FM a radio station in Pescadero, CA and at the moment I'm preparing for my next Radio show on Monday (Furthest Edge every Monday on 6pm PST) I'm 4 episodes into Cybrosis - A Podcast Novel Written and Narrated by P.C. Haring. it is a Sci-Fi novel about Agent Ciris (a Cyborg) who after a mission botched up mission, finds herself going down a rabbit hole full of conspiracies and betrayals. This is P.C. Haring's first podcast novel and it has become one of my favorite "Podnovels" so much so that I decided to air the episodes on my show. you can find all the episodes at http://www.cybrosisnovel.com/ or listening live every Monday online at http://kpdo.org/listen.php

Once the 20th episode airs I will be airing local audio dramas written by me and anyone who submits an adequate script. If you like writing, try your hand at script writing and email me (contact info below)

On the subject of writing, I am still working on my Audio Drama series tentatively called Revenant. I am definitely putting alot of love into this which is why I'm not that far along in writing. I want to make sure I want to leave few implausible events (it's a Fantasy series so implausible is almost unavoidable) However, Revenant is not my only writing endeavor at the moment. I currently am going to try my hand at writing scripts for the Leviathan Chronicles and the Byron Chronicles.

Leviathan Chronicles is a great Sci-fi Audio Drama series about a civil war amongst a city of Immortals and a CIA organization trying to destroy them. I can't do the series justice, go check it out for yourself! Leviathan Chronicles is in the interim season and as far as I know is holding a contest where listeners can submit their Leviathan Origin stories of how they became immortal if you listen to the Leviathan Soapbox's to find out more. Darker Projects is responsible for the Byron Chronicles a paranormal Audio Drama about the adventures of Byron, a "being" who's existence dates back to Ancient Rome, it's not easy to describe in that the title says it all, the show is about the chronicles of Byron. Darker Projects has a contribute section where you can offer all sorts of services from voice acting to writing to editing. I plan to see if I can't put together my own Byron Script.

So that's all I'm up to at the moment. Check out all the Audio Dramas I mentioned on their websites

The Tour of Earthly Delights

Hello people! So most of the people reading this are still winding down from Sunday's 4th of July festivities! I personally had a quiet 4th of July and went to the movies on Monday, but nothing too exciting. I do however have something coming up soon that I'm really excited about this year.

I will be going to "The Tour of Earthly Delights" for those who don't know what that is The tour is Shakira's latest global tour for both She Wolf (or Loba in some areas) and Sale el Sol which is her album coming out in September. The Tour is coming to the Oracle Arena in Oakland October 23rd I believe. Well surprisingly enough that's 3 days after my birthday! My dad a had running joke that if Shakira ever came by on Tour that he would take me. When I heard about "The Tour of Earthly Delights" I practically begged for him to take me, getting to see Shakira live in concert has kind of been a big deal for me considering I pretty much grew up on her music (thanks mom!). I have my tickets already and recently loaded my iPod with her CD's which used to be on my old computer (I finally decided to transfer her albums onto my new Laptop)

I do get teased a lot about my love for Shakira's music (Molly...) well, seeing as how I'm going to her concert for my 16th birthday and I don't really care anymore I will say right now, I love her music. Deal with it!

So I guess I'll end this with a quote from her song, "Costume Makes The Clown"

"I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think"

Anglemeister Chronicles Podcast 01 - Audio Blog #1 and 50th Blog Entry

So this is it. The Big 50. I gotta say I was starting to doubt I'd ever get here, especially after all the more than month long gaps between entries. Surprisingly enough I've kept it up this long and I intend to keep on keeping it up. So as a sort of treat, I recorded this Audio Blog a few hours ago on top of a hill overlooking Pescadero and rambled on. I don't think I did a splendid job of editing out background noise, such as that mysterious buzz-like chirping. I did not edit out much content, or any at all but this was an impromptu dive into Audio Blogs. I figured I may as well just get everything out I didn't have that many gaps of silence so I'll leave it as is and make up for it with a much better segmented purposeful Audio Blog.

Now, A semi-good recording Isn't all I'm adding to this milestone entry. Nope, I do have more to add, but before I do, I'd like to give a list of people who I thank for my return to this Blog as well as to the initial creation of the blog.

>> First, I'm going to thank my friend Molly my dear friend and often times encouraging antagonist (=P)

>> Hanna my fellow writer and confidante. we should be awkward more often!

>> Gavin, my always amusing friend and favorite kazoo player (If your reading this send me the kazoo sound please? no gaybe about it)

>> The ever awesome Jack Crute I don't think I'd be as consistent with my posts If I hadn't been inspired reading his blog http://Dinokill.com/

>> Jenn Geoppinger, John Pavlich, and pretty much pretty much everyone who's been on either the Dollhouse Podcast or Milk Carton TV for all the laughs and indirect motivation for me to get into both radio and audio blogging.

>> Charlie Chalkley I think nudging you to have a blog did push me to actually have more decent blog posts

>> Billy (Siatabiri) and Bronzethumb thanks to you two, I will eventually start a Amy Acker for next companion! Hopefully on this blog.

>> Whyiwatch you're dollhouse videos reminded me to write something that I'd be proud of (most of the time)

>> David Ault for the encouraging words and the blog comments. All of Darker projects as well for re-igniting my imagination

>> Christof Laputka for the awesome world you created in the Leviathan Chronicles, you motivated me to want to start writing for my own Audio Drama!

>> P.C. Haring many thanks for returning my email about your podcast, I look forward to your next project.

>> my Middle School Language arts teacher Mrs. Talbot, If not for her I wouldn't have even started a blog, and now I'm the one teaching her about blogs, everything comes full circle I guess

--------------------

So here you have most of the people how have in one way or another contributed to the Anglemeister Chronicles as it is now, again I thank all of these wonderful folks for what they do and for their direct or indirect encouragement. So here's to 50 entries passed, and to 50 more to come!
