I will actually curse out loud when the telephone rings or someone knocks when I am recording. WAY TO RUIN THE MOOD ! Especially when you are working on a dramatic reading.

Wow, small world - I live not too far from there myself so I know exactly what you mean!pnagami wrote:I live in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, it almost never rains here, except a little this winter, but my nemesis is the gasoline-powered leaf blower. The gardeners arrive around 8:30 weekdays and the noise starts up!
Also, I live under under the flight path of the Van Nuys airport. I think I have mentioned this before, but I need to get it off my chest again.

In my neighborhood we also have lots of chickens - noisy, noisy chickens!!
Stoogeswoman,
Do you live near the Van Nuys airport or under its flight path?

We're in Reseda, slightly to the south of the flight path. (So it would hit the chickens, not us. )
Lovely, Stoogeswoman!
I'm in Encino. It's nice to know a fellow Librivoxer is so close!

I'm between a train bridge and a highway bridge, more like under the train bridge, near the LaGuardia Airport, with 24/7 garbage collection. Amtrak trains only take a few seconds to pass, but freight trains...that's time to take a break. Then, of course, there are circling helicopters, jackhammers, and sirens. Thanks for letting me finally share all that!
Peace be with you,
Sister

My husband just restored a big chiming clock which sits in the living room, giving out Big Ben-style chimes every quarter of an hour. Usually I turn it off while I'm recording, but sometimes I forget, then suddenly:

BONNNNGGG!!

And yes, I could (and probably should!) turn it off while I'm recording, but I keep forgetting.
...when you are sick and have been without a voice for going on three weeks and you've PLed everything you can find with a ~ and you can't find anything more to do? [sigh]
I'm pathetic when I'm sick.

I'm so sorry you lost your voice! That happens to me frequently, but I've never PLed. I'm just out of commission.linny wrote:...when you are sick and have been without a voice for going on three weeks and you've PLed everything you can find with a ~ and you can't find anything more to do? [sigh]

Oh my! If I couldn't keep myself busy with PLing and editing I don't know how I would survive being sick this long. I'm exhausted from television.Monaxi wrote:I'm so sorry you lost your voice! That happens to me frequently, but I've never PLed. I'm just out of commission.
I'm sorry to hear this is a recurring thing for you. I've never lost my voice before. It's definitely not fun.
Be well,
Linny
