I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.

Monday

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block

Tuesday

Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

Wednesday

Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

Thursday

A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

Friday

The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

Saturday

If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

Sunday

Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

    Im biting the bullet (no pun intended) and buying the materials I need to get my .22 back into working condition (and then some lol). I got it back in '20, shot it a couple of times, tinkered with it a little, and a teensy weensy itty bitty lifechanging emotional event occurred and I kinda forgot about it amidst the whole “I gotta unfuck myself also I’m transitioning” thing that followed. Replacing the sights on a traditional style rifle is like… hard because it involves hand fitting and math that is extremely poorly explained and so the ones I put onto the rifle were totally off and unusable in conjunction with a scope rail. I think I did the math right this time. I thought about glass bedding the thing but I think that will have to wait for later.

    Also I’m dyeing the wood blue, just for fun.
