Well, here’s Episode Six – just in time for fire crackers and dancing dragons.  I’m back on track with my New and Full moon posts, so look forward to the next episode around the Nineth of February

Once again, the opening theme: AaAaAa! came from Lazz.

The closing music, Giga Funk, came from Sage Taylor.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, here are a couple sketches of the ladies from Moscrovia.  Portruva, and her charge, Anastasia.

They look so friendly, don’t they?

Well, I put together some really quick logos for the podcast.  Lemme know what you think.

Here are the three versions:  144×144, 300×300 and 500×500

Piggy Procrastination

So, I had all week to record episode 6, and following that, I had all weekend.  Today, I’m going to a friend’s party, and find myself staring into the microphone..   I’m transporting all the necessary filed from the recorder into my computer, waiting for the laundry to finish, and preparing to put down the most dialogue-intensive chapters to date.  Oooh sheesh, why do I put stuff off like this?!

Looks like next week is gonna be FULL of heads-down sound editing

Did some Tidying!

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Hey folks!  I have been tidying up the site, and streamlined things quite a bit.  A couple friends mentioned that the prologue episode wasn’t showing up in their iTunes queues.  Well, check again, cause I think I figured out why it wasn’t showing up.

At any rate, you might notice that there are fewer things cluttering up the sidebar, and that entries are grouped a little more efficiently.  Err- well, that’s what I hope you’ve noticed :) :)

But that’s what’s up with the sight.  This weekend, I start putting together episode six, to drop on the 26th.  new Moon.  Oooooh and Chinese New Year (one of my birthdays)

Yesh, I was, indeed born on Chinese New Year.   So, this will be a new year / birthday post.

I’m back from my break.  November didn’t treat me very well at all, I’m afraid.  My NaNo count only came up to about 54,000 before I abandoned Nano to deal with a pile of personal issues hat came up.  December was crazy with holidays and family stuff, but I am finally back.

Over the holidays, I acquired a Mic stand and a Script stand from my father (thanks, Dad!), and I also picked up a nice Pop Filter, which should help me produce better quality in the future.  (let me know if ep 5 sounded any better or worse than previous)

There’s not much banter for this episode ’cause I came down with a nasty upper respiratory infection that knocked out my voice for about a day and a half.  I’m just NOW getting over it, I think.

I’d like to say thanks to y’all who messaged and e-mailed me to ask about this episode.  I’m sorry to have made you wait so damn long, but your kindness and curiosity have meant the world to me.  So, here it is.  I really hope you enjoy.

Once again, the opening theme: AaAaAa! came from Lazz.

The closing music, This Time It’s Enough, came from Kurtbatz.
