Tidbits (Blog 106)

What have I been doing the last few days, this time? As usual, I’ve been voluntarily reviewing albums for the online music magazine I sometimes mention. I said to the person in charge of me, that I may need to have more time to do them as I have my own projects to work on. (Also, I want a bit of festive time off on Christmas and ideally Christmas eve… And the day I buy presents, that’s fun, too). She didn’t have a problem with that. I wasn’t expecting her to reduce my work load, as I explained I would be happy to carry on my critiques on a later date, but I really wasn’t expecting her to give me MORE albums to do. Well, whatever. Because I’m nice and seem to be on my mental schedule, after posting this blog, I will continue with the music stuff.

What else have I got to say? Not a lot, so this will be a relatively brief blog. When I travelled to the London Comedy Writers meeting I go to, I saw a TV presenter from Channel 4 news. When I later told that mini anecdote to one of the meeting attendants, I was asked what his name was. (Actually, it was a her). When I said that I didn’t know, I was told it wasn’t a very good story. But I disagree. A famous person is a famous person, no matter how obscure/forgettable their name is. A few minutes after being a tiny bit starstruck, (well not really, more surprised) I treated myself to some delicious high-end chocolates at the nearby specialist shop I like to visit. I picked my product with care, and was looking forward to some excellent customer service from the cashier. However, as I paid by credit card, his phone rang and his concentration was on the caller, not me. All I wanted was a few seconds of attention, and he took it away from me. >:( Well, there’s always next time, I guess.

Lastly, the Judas priest albums I bought, recently; some of the lyrics in them are rather interesting. One example is ‘You say ‘yes’, I say ‘no’.’ I was thinking to myself ‘thank God the lyrics weren’t the other way round.’ But at least it’s a phrase that makes sense. JP sometimes make up words like ‘desolisating’. Still, it sounds like a real word, though. Indeed, I thought it was for quite a few years. That’s the kind of feat only people like Shakespeare can achieve. Here are my attempts at coming up with new entries for the dictionary: Hubvon, jopred, driople. They don’t exactly sound English, right? And that’s all from me. If you want more weird lyrics from well known groups, you’ll have to wait till next month in my Facebook comedy contest blog that has already been written. (Why did I talk about words to songs? Because I was being random, again!) Bye!
