This Is This

So after thinking about Cartman singing Prince, it stayed in my head for the whole day. I’m 34! I’m walking around the office with cartoon character singing karaoke in my head! On the day of my annual review! At the very least I can console myself in assuming that your day was similar.

I’m ok now though, except for Elmer Fudd singing Joy Division:

Wuv… Wuv wiwll teahw us apahrt. Again.

He was born in the same town as me, you know. Ian Curtis, that is, not Elmer Fudd.

I never got Joy Division. If you want sad music, I say go for the heartstrings: Ray Charles, Edith Piath, John Martyn, Portishead, kd lang, Ben Webster, Billy Holliday, Aimee Mann, Jeff Buckley or fado or cajun music.

I guess I prefer heartache to misery. Tragedy comes in many flavours.

I’ve got me a Cwysleh, it seats about twenny, so huwwy up and bwing yoh juke box money.

Misery and jealousy are more reactions than they are emotions, but they feel just as real. If you’re sad, people are much more touched by yearning than depression. Unless you mean to alienate people, in which case don’t sing about it.

Told you I didn’t understand Joy Divison. Same with New Order, which was neither new nor what I ordered.

The wuv shack is a wittle ole pwace where we can get together. Wuv shack baby.

What if I could do the same with words? What if I wrote something and had to rearrange it over and over without using any word twice and not leaving one out but it still had to make sense?
