 I encountered a problem while recording this week’s show–there seemed to be voices leaking into the recording. It’s strange, because we don’t live anywhere near radio towers, which is usually the cause of that kind of interference. What’s also disconcerting, is that I’m not sure if I was hearing the voices coming from my headphones, or from somewhere else in the room.

I’m OK with recording equipment, but definitely not an expert. I’m going to look over my setup again, and make sure nothing’s changed since last time I did my show. Anyhow, I hope the interference isn’t too distracting to listen to!

Just saw Where the Wild Things Are today. I think I’ll have to see it again. Not because I loved it that much (though I did enjoy it), but because I think I might enjoy it more a second time. It dawned on me a couple hours later that it’s almost more a dream than a story, and that I should watch it that way.

Did you see it? What did you think?
