This process is inhumane. Nina and I worked on this project for long enough for me to think of 18 different ways I could use the surrounding Items in the CRC to end my life. Luckily for this class I was worried none of them would do an adequate enough job and I would end up writing one handed. Of course as I neared the end of this project, Nell's headphone where used and I could here every word perfectly but that's just the way these things go.
As I continued through the recording, I can look back and see the changes as we moved from the inclusion of every cough to a slightly more laid back approach of including everything but coughs. While writing there was plenty of time for me think about the importance of trying to include every detail...
I thought about people that are going to listen to the shaky interview and need to words to tell what is being said but I also thought about this as a form of retaining generations of information so that several hundred years from now some old town historian is going to say, "Yeah that's where the old family used to live that got interviewed by president Powell way back in the old oil burn'n days." Trust me I had plenty of time think about this interview.
One things for sure, with this project over, I can continue my existence doing one of the other hundred projects that accompany life here at Sterling.
