Catalogue Note
I think this particular voice, the one I like to think of as my own, does in fact entertain the notion that it sometimes finds itself in a movie, and I think to some extent this voice carries on a relationship with the scene in front of him as if what he's looking at can be either produced, directed, acted in or even written about.
