I'm not so good with the keeping ideas up sleeve thing. Also not so good with keeping the Britney Spears album a secret thing, apparently. *Ahem* *joins the idea-stealing folks*

I'm also sure my ipod reads my mind sometimes. ..because... Sooz - I couldn't possibly comment. Having outed myself as a member of the weberati lately, I can now say even less about work. I am going to have a break soon. Thanks Helen - I remember this story. I’m also sure my ipod reads my mind sometimes.

The lyrics were enough to shut my brain down before it started, I didn't really need to see behind the curtain too;) Wendy, Anna- triplicate, I think. Just because Cliff did the paperwork wrong is no reason for either of you two to.

Although it's nice to know that good bloggers like y'alls' fine selves (not even English but I'm going on) have the same approach as me when there's nothing to write. I've had this up my sleeve for just such a dry patch. And Wendy - let's just be clear about what's going on here. A person. Talking to their ipod. And putting it on the web. Thinking other people will read it. That's basically it, isn't it? And where's all my Cool People Music? My Sigur Ros, Tom Waits, Miles Davis - my Radiohead. Maybe a little Nina Simone? Something dark and broody? Velvet Underground? Kraftwerk? That's my Cool People Music. But noooo... Oh sure, why no stick fucking Huey Lewis in there? Hip to be square my arse. (Sigh) Okaaaaay…..

Hey. And by all means. I only wish I could remember who I stole this crap off so I could link back to them. But no cheating - I can confess to Kelis and late 80's Sting and hopefully walk out of here looking OK. Granted. Hey. And by all means.

Actually, I probably need to apply to Anna for licence to steal her idea of stealing your idea, and also to you so that I can steal your idea. Maybe you should just turn this into a proper meme. And see a doctor. I’d also like to apply for this licence.
