grist and grizzle

ba, ore of te sae troubles as last nigt, te M and H keys don’t work on te foldable keyboard, only on te device. ow can i talk about e witout M?

tonigt i tried out a backup approach to te pone project i’m doing. i am recordinng voicemail messages from payphones, but some of the call connections are so bad that i don’t know if i can use themm. so as backup i brought a recorder and icrophone and spoke into both te telepone and the mmicrophone. the obvious question becomes… wy bother calling fro te payphone at all? well, see, i don’t know, really. i ean, y idea here is to make the call stereo. phone calls, of course, are onoraul. but doubling the chhannels and synchronizing thhe recorder wit the voiceail could let ,,,m,mmmmme fuse thhe 2 tracks, or somehow mmix them in suchh a way tat the poorest qualities of te payphhone track could be supplemmented by thhe clearer track. this would aintain te grist and grizzle of te paypone call quality.

i like tat prase. grist and grizzle.

or, i could just let thhe lousy call quality go troug as-is, and supplemment te recording wit full transcript of y monologue, mmmy sermmon, my jeremiad.

alas, i did not need te reinders, but eac day seems to present new callenges and weaknesses of te project. tat does not boter or deter e, toug i wis i ad better audio production and editinng cops.

i wonder if siply batting te pone againnst te paypone enclosure would straigten out te connection?

i could iagine contaqcting Verizon to see if tere is a scedule for reoval of te pones, but i like to keep te urgency, even if it igt be artificial on soe level. i alos would not expect to get eaningful response fro Verizon.

…..

tis is too annoying. usually te keys tat don’t work at first start to work eventually, and i can go back ad punc i te issig letters fro te lipogra… not tonigt, evidently
