Overcoming the fug of a migraine, and knowing I'm due out to dinner in a bit - not that I really want to go to dinner in Port Melbourne, but I need to show willing, as it is my team, and my manager is down from Sydney and I have to make small talk for a few hours - ho hum - I want to get the blog post out of the way.
So I'm going to do a writng exercise tonight. A quick on that takes ten minutes. A list from The Pillow Book, a small volume penned about 1000 years ago in Japan by a courtier. She listed all sorts of things.
So I'm going to take a subject and write for ten minute:
Here we go:
Hateful Things:
People who are cruel
People who are cruel to animals
Huntsman Spiders
People who are rude to waiting staff
Flaming dog turds left on the front step
Our tin-earred Prime Minister
Billionaires who give nothing back
Tripe
Heated arguments which are never resolved
Self-loathing which is tended like a bonsai tree
Plantar warts and foot fungus
Ill-considered face tattoos
Cat puke/poo underfoot in the early hours
The loud fighting neighbours screaming at 2 a.m.
Thigh chafing early in the day, brought on by holey stockings, which you can't get rid of.
Incessant humidity
Willful ignorance
Writer's block
Meatloaf (the singer)
There, that will do. It's an interesting concept writing lists which were being listed 1000 years ago.
Today's song: (Looking for a song with a pillow in it - could only come up with this)
