You know you're addicted to LV when... (slight return)
Neither of you are terrible. When my husband tells me he's going out of an evening (thus leaving me at home with our sleeping daughter), I figuratively rub my hands together gleefully and think of what I'm going to record...
Heh, I know what you mean. Do not tell my wife, but I secretly savor when she and her friends have a Girl's Night Out.gloriana wrote:Neither of you are terrible.

You know you are addicted when you feel no guilt with such secret thoughts

They flub all the time on NPR and I wonder why they don't fix it; most of the hourly news-breaks sound recorded anyway.Starlite wrote:Along the same line as Andy:

You know you're addicted when you check Google books to see what PD stuff they've scanned recently, including one from 1917 on vaudeville stars I don't think is on PG yet, and a book of Greek and Roman medical instruments.

Same here! I love the evenings where he's out for a concert
Riding bikes today, suddenly I heard the unmistakable sound of one of my blasted high-pitched mouth clicks! In my mind I'm rapidly zooming in, looking for the naughty waveform.
Then I realize we've just gone by the tee of a golf course, and what I heard was the distinctive metallic *ping* of a driver striking a golf ball!
I felt a wave of relief, actually, that I wouldn't have to find and fix the waveform problem!
Have a great week, everyone!

You know you're addicted to LV when you start arguing with an English teacher over what constitutes the "public domain", how it was instated, the details of the Copyright Extension Act, and haranguing over things like Fair Use and Creative Commons. Also, publicly bemoaning the fact that certain poets were born in the wrong era/didn't die young enough :T (sorry, e.e. cummings. I love you but why can't I record you! /le sigh) so not all of their words are PD. /sobs

You know you're addicted to LibriVox when you're making a presentation and you click your tongue when you make a mistake and want to rephrase something.
I definitely woke up some of the people who were listening to me this morning when I did that.

Brilliant!
At least everybody was listening to you again. I'll remember that next time I teach...

You know you're addicted when......
1. You think that recording 3 sections/chapters per week is a really good cut-back!
2. Whenever you hear somebody repeat a phrase, you are automatically thinking, 'PL Note: Repeated phrase at....to be edited out'.
If it rains, it pours! Usually all my PL files come in at once! When I don't have any, I'm thinking, "this is going pretty slow. Maybe I can also DPL for this and this project as well! And feel totally swamped when 3-4 or more files come in at once....
It's pretty easy to get addicted to LV! I tried to get my sister to record a chapter or two for one of my projects, and the very first thing she said after saying that she didn't have time, was that she'd get addicted!

... When you are preparing to go give blood and wonder what you can do there for LV while waiting. Can't really PL, because you need to hear your name called. Obviously you can't record! And you don't have internet access on my phone, so you can't set up projects, do word counts for sections, or catalog.
(It turned out that I had very little waiting while there, so I wouldn't have gotten anything done anyway! I was in and out in about 45 minutes.)
