Marvin...

Haven’t blogged for a few days. Couple of reasons. My girlfriend (Queen of the Air Miles) was back from Milan for the weekend, before flying off to Hong Kong for three weeks. Also – not a lot to say really.

I’ve started the polish draft of ‘Consolidate to Devastate’ and I’ve found an interesting way to get around my dyslexia. Wouldn’t say it’s 100% - but it’s a lot better than me just looking at the text and it blurring into a mess.

Basically – I get the computer to read the script out loud, paragraph by paragraph, and I go in and fix all the stuff that doesn’t sound right. I’m looking into finding something more ‘human sounding’ than the default Microsoft voices (AT&T’s Natural Voices seem the best) – but it’s fine for the time being.

Alien Quadrilogy (or whatever) turned up today. Like most people – first thing I did was start watching the new edit of Alien 3. I’m also looking forward to seeing the original theatrical release of Aliens again because I’m not a fan of the directors cut. Too long – and I prefer the mystery of not knowing what happened on LV426.

BTW - Started scanning all those reviews and stuff. I gave up. There's just too much of it!!!
