You know, it figures that today I’d have yet another issue with posting these recaps.  Luckily this one is just mildly annoying and isn’t actually going to stop anything.  So for whatever reason, when I try to use the insert link button it just refuses to insert the link.  No error message, no hint of a problem.  Just a lack of a link.  I shall tinker with this later but for now, more recaps!

Also here’s where I’ll put the link to Jenny’s blog once I’m able to do that again.

Happy Friday the 13th!  And apparently all the Valentine’s Day advertising for the Fifty Shades movie was just to disguise the fact that the movie comes out today.  I have mixed feelings about this.  On one hand, I’m amused by the appropriateness of the date.  On the other, I’m appalled because I’ve always loved Friday the 13th.  My baby Brego was born on Friday the 13th.  Thankfully the month was June so E.L. James hasn’t poisoned my horse’s birthday.  But still, it’s the principle of the thing.

I think I’m settling on offended as a reaction to this news.  So here is my reply.

It’s Fifty Shades Recap Day!  Get ready for a brief avalanche of recordings, my friends, because book one is getting done today.

While recording chapter twenty-three I kept getting caught on Ana enjoying that ‘Christian smell’.  It was one of the few times I really enjoyed Christian’s name choice because I was able to misunderstand Ana as saying she enjoyed the scent of Christianity.  What would that be?  Incense and communion wafers?

Be sure to run on over to Jenny’s blog to get the full experience.

Edit: Okay, for whatever reason it’s not letting me insert the link so here’s the physical address.

Edit 2: Fixed!

Aaaaaaaand we’re back!  We’re getting pretty close to Valentine’s Day so I’m drawing in to that deadline I set for myself.  Still, just four more chapters to go.  I think I can make this.

As always, be sure to pop on over to Jenny’s blog.  You’ll want to see the pictures for context and I don’t read her introductions and announcements.

So I mentioned this on twitter but I had a real tough time keeping a straight face during recording.  It’s one thing to read awkward dialogue during a Christian/Ana sex scene and another to say it out loud in my deep, ‘manly’ voice.  I had to cut out a lot of laughing.  And a few sneezes, too.  Maybe I’m developing an allergy to this stuff.

Dart on over to Jenny’s blog to catch all the pictures and other excellent content.

Another Saturday, another recap.  As always, hop on over to Jenny’s blog so you get the full experience and extra content.

Something I notice the more I do Ana’s voice is that there are times where it becomes surprisingly sincere.  Almost as if there’s a ghost of character in Ana that’s been trying to claw its way out and call for assistance.  Can’t exactly blame her.  I’d be pretty desperate to escape 50 Shades if I ever found myself trapped inside.  Not before punching Christian in the nose, though.  Gotta have priorities.

Happy Saturday everyone!  The last Saturday of September.  And good riddance, too.  Personally I am more than ready for pumpkin spice season.

It’s getting harder all the time to vary the women’s voices without going completely ridiculous like I do with Ana’s.  I have a feeling I’m going to start doing accents soon.  Speaking of accents, Ana is almost in Georgia with her Mom so I can start doing my shoddy southern accent again.  It’s the little things, you know?

Be sure to follow along on Jenny’s blog so you can spot all the visual gags.

It’s that time again, folks.  Turn on your listening skills and take a ride on the sanity train conducted by Jenny Trout.  Be sure to hop on over to her blog so you don’t miss any visual gags.  Business Time by Flight of the Conchords is also worth a listen.

Oh wow, look at that.  I didn’t die in some freak dressage accident.  Not to say I wasn’t completely convinced that was the way I was going to go at certain points over the summer but I’ve mostly gotten over that.

I’m so sorry about the delay on this, guys.  I got discouraged over the lack of streaming options and then it came to my attention that I could just spend twenty dollars on wordpress to have my own streaming abilities.  So I reasoned, hey, I’ll just wait until I have a spare twenty dollars and then get back to recording.

You can probably tell by the glaring lack of a streaming link in this post that that has yet to happen.  Good news, though!  I’m up for a job that pays more than last year so I should have a bit more wiggle room on that soon.  Maybe sometime in October I’ll have enough padding to go for it.  Anyway, I’ve felt increasingly bad about not posting here and then the 50 Shades trailer came out and I basically refuse to not be done recording the first book’s recaps before the movie comes out.  So that’s the goal!  Finish book one before Valentine’s Day.

As always, be sure to go read along on Jenny’s blog.  It’s always funnier with visuals.  You really don’t want to miss that stool chart.

Hey all!  Sorry about the ridiculous delay.  Holidays, courts, hospitals, madness.  I will be making a proper update with pictures and details.  For now just know that no one’s dead although some people maybe should be.

Also you’ve probably noticed there’s no streaming links.  Long story and I’m fiddling with options.  For now just know that download links are available for all the recaps and will be no matter what.

Enjoy the sixteenth chapter as well as the visual stylings of Jenny Trout over at her site.

I sort of went out on a limb with Ana’s Mom’s voice.  Let me know what you think!
