Not much here. I just wanted to be able to use "unreliable narrator" and pretend I'm clever. This is a segment of me falling asleep while narrating.
I was going to post this more than a year ago, when I was editing an E.C. Tubb audiobook and discovered the condition of my recording, but I forgot about it and threw away the outtakes when I got to that part.*
But here we are in 2017, and I've found another section in Abbie's new book that will do almost as well (in the Tubb book, I went on for much, much longer, but I've discovered the audio tends to be unusable no matter how many times I wake up and reline in that condition). This may or may not be entertaining, it's difficult to say.
Even though I'm not quite done with my narration (I probably have a dozen or so more chapters, then I'll start on retakes), Abbie has begun to publish the audiobook in installments over on her Patreon page. You can probably (possibly?) check it out HERE.
In the meantime, I will try to stay awake.

*Which is a shame because it was much more pathetic that this clip is. In that one, I forced myself to carry on, despite my condition, until there would be twenty seconds or so in between lines where I had closed my eyes and only resumed when my head dipped and that woke me up. Now I'm wise enough to just quit and say, "Well, there's no use continuing now if I'm just gonna have to record it again anyway." It's like when you're falling asleep while driving, despite the radio and the window and slapping yourself. Nowadays, I just pull the car over at the next rest stop or clear spot, and take a nap for half an hour or so, rather than risk actually zonking out right before a turn or cliff.
