Progress report

I edited chapter 5 of the Trang audio book. UGH. It is the first chapter with Pinky. Wow. I used to live in a neighborhood with a large population of Balkan immigrants (yes, that did get a little nerve-wracking at times--one of the joys of NYC is that people don't always leave their wars behind), but I have really lost the flow of that way of speaking--I'm going to have to practice for a bit and re-record every single one of his lines. At times he sounds way too much like Yoli, who already sounds way too much like a female Cheech Marin. (Yes, I realize that it is unlikely that a Chilean astrophysicist would sound like a chola, but I grew up in Chola Central so people are just going to have to deal with that.)
