Life, Fannishness, and Thespic Infatuation

Greetings, all!

( The Road So Far . . .  )

Now . . .

As you might guess from the above narrative, we’ve paid our adoption fees in full to the agency. However, in order to apply for monies we will need for his infant and toddler development therapy, we’re having to go through an additional court hearing, which will incur additional costs (it's all explained on our fundraiser page). We’re asking for help in covering those court costs. Please consider donating to our fundraising project, or listing our project as your charity of choice when you shop at select retailers. We're using Pure Charity for the fundraiser (search using the key word "legal fees"). Money you donate will go directly to the adoption agency (a 501(c)3 non-profit, meaning your donation is tax deductible. Check with your tax advisor). If you'd like the direct link to our fundraiser, please let me know.

Thanks so much!

So. Geo and I are reading a hilarious story as part of a presentation at the end of the month. And the roles I'm going to read are native Texans. The problem being that my Southern accent is kind of generic and mostly based on my Virginia aunt, who has more of a lilt than a twang. One of the characters I'm reading will have the lilt, but I want the other to have the twang.

So my question is this: Are there any websites that I can go to to actually listen to Texas dialects? I've found lots of websites that talk about the dialects, but none that have recordings to listen to. I'd kind of like to hear the real thing, rather than just kind of wing it.

You know?

If you get this, please comment. I'm not getting your posts, and haven't been since about the irony entry. Any idea what's up?
