"That's right" I reply. It's quarter to ten in the evening, and I feel I have enough time left for a story or two before bedtime! But first it's time to change into my pyjamas.
So if this album is so good, why is it not on your iPod? That is a good question! For some reason this album, along with several others, whenever I try burning it to my iTunes, becomes a scratchy, unlistenable-to mess! It's most annoying! There's nothing wrong with the disk, see? I'm having to listen to it on my CD Player like it's the freakin' 90s! But anyway it's a great listen! I'd say it's very inspiring, but that leads me on to another point...
I have this, shall we say friend?, anyway they over-use the word 'inspiring' like it's going out of fashion. OH MY DAZE THAT FILM WAS SO INSPIRING! Really? Tell me, LORDY TELL ME, how has it inspired you! Anyway I conclude that just saying something has inspired you is no longer good enough in this day and age! SHOW that is has inspired you! If you watch/read something about whatever and go 'THIS HAS INSPIRED ME!' then just carry on as before, has it really inspired you? has it inspired change? If it's inspired you to 'think' differently, then that's just a cheap version of 'doing' differently! Besides it's easy to pretend to think differently. Give that some thought!
Or rather, don't stop there!
This Warren Zevon album was only £7, and for 22 tracks that's a veritable bargain! The label says I bought it in Zavvi, which certainly deserves a flashback if this was a televisual experience. I remember they used to give you 10% just for being a poor student!
So there's this town in East Sussex, near where I live, called Lewes. One thing I've recently learnt about it is that it has it's own...currency. Why? Nobody knows anymore. I did find some information about it, but I left my notes elsewhere so I'll have to play this by memory. On the Lewes pound NOTE they have a bloke on it who is on it because he lived in Lewes for about 6 or 7 years at one point! Then he went off and assisted America in it's revolution splitting off from England! THEN he went on to help in the French Revolution too! See, you learn new things every day!
It's always important to 'sell yourself' when going for a job interview, but doubly is this true when it is for the position of a prostitute!
So my friend was saying to me the other day that there's a special tool that is used to create the hole in the middle of a ring doughnut. They then said that some supermarkets sell the cut-out centres on their own as some fatty (or phatty) treat. Such obvious bullshittery aside, it got me to thinking. Later on my other, more sensible friend was talking about spraying food with perfume to make it scented. I was intrigued, and put 2 and 2 together and came up with the idea of spraying these doughnut centres with perfume to make them 'scented centres'. Anyway then my friend/business partner says would the factory be called the Scented Centre Centre? I took it to the next obvious step and created an advertisement to recruit a workforce for our enterprise.
"She came to me asking if I knew of any jobs about. I sent her to the Scented Centre Centre!"
Genius.
I also thought up the idea of "Dog-Girl" who is a aesthetically-challenged girl who also has the superpower that she can hear things that only dogs can hear, like things beyond the human sound spectrum, or a bag of treats being opened on the other side of the house. I haven't really gotten much further with this idea than that. But her nemesis will be a time-controlling DJ called Dr Ellipsis (copyright).
Hope you are inspired by this to achieve something!
Have one complimentary Lewes Pound
