Top Ten Procrastination Choices of the moment:
- Go watch The Bangles music clip on Youtube.
- Get depressed that your memory really is that bad but feel
slightly better when there is actually some footage of them in
‘Egyptian’ costume in the clip. - Play ‘Lay Down Sally’ on the iPod and dance in the office instead of working.
- Get aggro because dh has been in and out of the office five times
in the past twenty minutes (not that he’s interrupting anything because
it’s not like you’re actually working). - Daydream about soaking in the bathtub.
- Point out to yourself that you don’t actually like your bathtub because it’s too shallow.
- Daydream about deep claw-foot bathtubs.
- Decide it must be time you waxed your legs and surely this is so important it can’t possibly wait even another moment.
- Get a headache because you’re playing your iPod too loudly trying not to think about writing.
- Google ‘Lay Down Sally’ to find out if it is actually Kenny Rogers singing it or not.
The answer is no. Get depressed that your hearing is that bad. Start again at Point 2. Ad infinitum. Repeat....
I’m starting to look at words I’ve spelled just fine and not know
whether they’re spelled right, or whether they’re even real words, or
whether they mean what I think they mean.
Welcome to the writer's life. It's very glamorous, and occasionally it's brutally honest as well.

Lay Down Sally
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hQqP6RNnDE
I had to go listen to see how Eric Clapton could sound like Kenny Rogers ...
... I hear it ... in, er, a few of those raspy parts .... I can so see you dancing in your office to this tune!
hope the words stopped looking funny and you found your way to making them fit for those six pages you wanted

I'm sitting here wondering how you could possibly have forgotten
that Lay Down Sally was Eric Clapton, maybe you should google Coward of the County or the Gambler and renew your idea of what Kenny sounds like
Okay Lay Down Sally is not my favourite from the Slow Hand album (I prefer Wonderful Tonight and Peaches and Diesel) but it's a great song to dance to
Always thought it would be a great song to create a little ambiance at my funeral - along with Bat out of Hell, and And When I Die by Blood Sweat and Tears - but I don't think the French would "get" it (and now it looks like I'll probably get buried in France, so they'll probably use something "suitable" that I'll never have heard of)

Eric versus Kenny
Whoot. Eric Clapton is hot, isn't he? Thanks for the youtube clip, Katherine. I don't think I'd ever seen him before (deprived youth lol).
Sadhbh, I love 'Bat out of Hell'.
Back to the trenches for me.

This list sounds like something I would do to avoid housework at any costs.
