it's official ... my mood is directly tied to the amount of sunlight i get

I officially love summer in Montreal. Yeah, I know, technically it isn't summer yet, but ... shut up.

It would be nice if there were more people around for me to do stuff with, but with the way work is going, my lack of a real social circle doesn't feel quite so suffocating. I go places ... like today, all the way out to glamourous and exotic Beaconsfield, to do a complete language assessment on a little girl. I accidentally let a neighbour dog into the house, but shhh... that may not have actually been my fault, and no one was mad. Except the cats. The cats were mad.

I'm starting to recruit people to come in and record their voices for a couple of computer games that our lab is making. Yesterday, I recorded myself, now I just have to go through the forty minutes of audio, split it up into little wav files, and make sure none of it needs to be rerecorded.

I'm hoping in the next couple of days to get a hold of some guys to come in and do it. We have no trouble getting female voices, since damn near everyone in the building is female, but male voices ... for those we have to recruit from outside (and pay twenty dollars per voice sample).

Anyway, everything is looking good. It's hard not to be optimistic when it's warm and sunny, and I have pink potted flowers on my balcony and some new music to listen to.
