Ah… Mercury in retrograde. This is said to cause issues with technology, communication, and transportation.

*I am totally experiencing this*

Firstly, having issues getting footage from my second recording of skills off the camera! Many thanks to the friend who lent me the camera, but it has been an ordeal getting the footage onto a computer so we can cut out the parts where I messed up and re-recorded. Hence, issues with the technology.

Secondly, today my phone fell on the floor as it has done many times. This time, it veritably exploded. Well, perhaps exploding isn’t *quite* the accurate term. However, it is in two pieces now and non-functional so close enough. I did get to the Verizon store and picked up a new swank phone that so far I love. But yeah, that’s strike 2: communication.

Thirdly, on my way home from work, my car made some funny noises and while on the road, I could smell coolant and saw the thermastat creeping upward. My little truck usually runs very cool so this was an immediate red flag. I made it home but poor Lila (yes, I named my truck Lila) was smoking and hissing. I’ll check the fluids in the morning and take her to my mechanic. The last shoe to drop was transportation.

So now that I’ve achieved the magic number of three, that means that I’m done, right? I have to say that after I got over the shock of my shattering cell phone, that the whole situation makes me laugh. At least the purchase of this new phone means that I’ve got a decent little video camera on me at all times. So if I have to re-record everything (fingers crossed that I don’t have to do that!) at least I know that the format from my new phone will be workable on my PC.

Long and short of it – the recording of Audition DVD Part Two is done, just gotta get it off the camera! Many more thanks to Jon for helping me with that.

Stay tuned, folks!
