Ah, episode 12 of season 2 was rough. It was hard to see another season and another case come to an end. I first watched the episode without the commentary. I mean, that only makes sense, right? Overall, the episode was great just like last season. A lot of things …
“All Me In The Scene” was a fun audio assignment where you do all the voices. In this poem by the great nonsense writer Lewis Carroll, I was the narrator as well as the old man congratulating our hero on a job well done. I attempted to add some drama, …
For my last Audio Assignment I chose the 3 1/2 star “Recite an Original Poem”. I chose to approach a summation of what The Wire is constantly reminding us. The overall message implied one should walk away from this series with. The game here is one of many levels, replicated …
“Spooky Sounds” – This was the best audio assignment EVER! Perfect for upcoming Halloween. I had my 7-year-olds listen as I kept making it spookier and scarier. They totally loved helping and offering criticisms along the way. This time I wanted to have background music, based on a suggestion from …

I once said, “Every girl is beautiful and perfect just the way they are.” I really do mean that. Every time I see a girl, they can either be cute, pretty, beautiful, or all the above. To me when I want to go talk to one while I’m in my …
Audio week was a little more difficult and time consuming because I had to get used to GarageBand and Audacity, as well as explore new outlets to work with. I worked with my group on our project a bit though and made a banner for our group, as well as …
Episode 12 and commentary:
Zimny’s discussion on the reality of the show is so true to me. The whole show is always so realistic. I love the commentary by Thorson on the opening sequence because she notes the lack of dialogue in favor of image and direction. I love the …
Melinda’s Wire poem is just awesome, both in the writing and the reading. The rhythm in the reading is so good that I thought I’d try to add a music track to it. Here’s what I came up with:
I recorded Melinda’s track using Audacity and Soundflower so I could …
