The downside to
writing a blog every day is when you haven’t been up to much you don’t have anything to report.
I really wanted
to get on with some writing, but it didn’t happen, mainly because I started too
late. There’s not much point in trying once you get to the afternoon, as you
don’t have the sharpness of mind to see it through. It’s not so much
that I need to necessarily write stuff from scratch - I’m talking about
stand-up material here - as remembering what I’ve already written blogs about already
that might be of use. I’ll often stumble across some note or other that’ll
remind me of something I wrote before that might work in a live context; it’s
just hard to keep hold of these thoughts for long.
(Thankfully, I
have six notepads full of ideas and reminders to work through, though the only
snag today was that five of them were at the office and I didn’t have time to
go and get them.)
One thing I did
do was eat a lot of biscuits. I’m awful for this. I should really keep it in
check, as I’ve recently put on weight - and ironically, there’s
nothing like getting fatter for making you comfort eat.
Another thing I
did today was misread the following on Twitter:
What I thought it
said was ‘Kanye West has gone blind’ which made me question what crazy thing he'd been up now to bring this on; I know he’s got a reputation for being reckless, but
surely he wouldn’t purposely detach his retina; these male rappers are
crazy crazy chaps.
