What it’s all about –

Take a scene between two people.

It happens wherever Monday happens. It smells of Tuesday. It’s about Wednesday. The feelings are of a Thursday. In the distance, you can hear Friday. What makes Monday so strange? That will be Saturday. What’s going to happen in the end? That’s for Sunday to say.

Daily I’ll add another snippet. Pick and choose what you’d like to write and let me know how it turns out.

Sunday is my day of rant though – so expect something special then.

Mike

Dark Secret – Groper

Unconscious malingering touch, repressed lust coming to light.

Smell – Grease

Mechanistic blood; clinging fatty gloop.

Location – Group Therapy Session

“Now, I’m sure everyone would feel more at ease if we went round the group telling people our names and what we hope to discover.”

Verb – Grab

Gripping single-mindedly, determined to hold on.

Going Gaga

I like Lady Gaga. As a singer/songwriter gestalt, she produces some catchy tunes.

But now she’s been announced as “The Most Downloaded Artist In History”* and I feel this fails on four major accounts:

• MTV think it’s Jacko.
• I’m assuming all these downloads are the legal ones…not the pirated ones. The legal ones, which only add up to five percent. Allegedly.
• History? As Al Murray says “History isn’t over yet.”.
• Artist? Well, Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist. (As was Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael). Vic Reeves is an artist. Are we really saying that Poker Face et. al. beats the Mona Lisa, the Sistene Chapel, and The Battle of Hastings?

Perhaps we should re-word that to say “The Most Legally Downloaded Living Singer/Songwriter Gestalt in Recorded History As Far As We’re Aware”?

Or just…”Here’s Lady Gaga”?**

* This quote came from the X-Factor. I would verify it, but that would mean watching it.

** “Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta” would just be crazy. No-one would know who she was.

Adjective – Green

Flora furnished turf. Glistening with pollen.

Sound – Fanfare

Trumpeting herald of the heroic achievement.

Feelings – Fierce

A calm, directed rage in repose.

Dark Secret – Financier

“It’s not as if I killed anyone. How could I know where my donations were going?”

Smell – Fungus

Growing, regurgitating, reforming, blandness.
