Things That Sound Good In My Head But Aren’t Good Enough To Make A Decent Blog Post

I said last week there are countless things every day that make for decent blog posts.

This week I’m saying how there are many more things (count them) that do not.

Three examples today:

1. Some at work said recently: “Mac widescreen and the new geos”. Immediately I thought that would make a pretty good band name. Not as good as “Jay Peg and the Bitmaps“, but pretty good. This would not be good enough to make a whole blog post.

2. Drinking a herbal tea and, when I took the first sip, got a piece of wet flower in my mouth. I swore, and wondered how many people before me had ever said “fuck” before picking jasmine off their lip. Probably not many. Again, not a blog post.

3. After the whole heated soup debate last week I was thinking about my third choice for my top three all time soups of all time in the world ever, and I’ve got the image of a bowl of Miso soup saying in a tempting voice: “Me so soup.”

But add the three together, and you might have a post.

Not the king of posts, but it’s Monday.

Wonder shouldn’t be a hunger, but a meal. Like those fleeting instances when the startling beauty of a scene draws our mind away from ourselves in a moment which makes it impossible to find words to fit the feeling.

    You know Sewn, by The Feeling? Keep the tune in your head a minute.
    My friend Ashley and I used to order in sushi for lunch (oh, how my life has changed). When I unpacked the bag, I’d always sing “you’ve got miso” to her as I handed it over.

    And my life’s duller now. Jesus.

    I don’t know the song, but I’ll look out for it.

    Our lives have been dulled without you here, Wendy. In fact, you’ve probably made lives up there a lot more interesting.

    I heard in Scotland they actually deep fry fish.

    Home of the deep fried Mars bar Cliff.

    You so do know it, Cliff. Listen…

    You’ve got me sewn
    Na naaa na na na na naaa na,
    Na naaa na na na na naaa na,
    etc

    I’d send you a you tube link, but I’m not allowed.

    And thankyou.

    I love Wendy. That sort of behaviour qualifies you for residence at Chateau Newton. Just let me know when you’re leaving.

    So not soup.

    But still good. Bit thin, though.

    I’m on my way, Katy. You see to the brownies and I’ll take care of the spiders. And daddy long legses. And ladybirds.
