11/21/2006: "Aid From An Alternate Tumble"

Our big audio-book recording day lumbers ever closer with legs of anticipation and feet of palpable nervous tension. Tumble has currently taken over the living room, hard at work on his costume for his role as the on-board computer R.A.S.P.U.T.I.N. in 2023.



After having Chestnut and our landlord Phil read for the multiple women's roles and fail miserably at sounding the least bit authentic, I phoned Tumble's sister Imogene in Ambridge, PA and she agreed to perform our lady characters for us, provided the three of us come see her in a regional theater performance of Tony and Tina's Wedding. After finding out about said bargain, Tumble vowed to poison me in my sleep, but not before acknowledging that his sister sounded a lot better than Phil's unsettling Betty Boop-like falsetto.
