Rigorously ignoring current events in favor of whatever I happen to have saved to my Notes app.
Trying something new this week - wrote and published this whole thing from my phone. I think you’ll find it “isn’t as good as usual”.
Item 1: a link
A classic of the genre - John Moe’s Notes on “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” as Delivered to Axl Rose by His Editor:
Where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky—I asked around the office and no one is sure a blue sky is “fresh.” You could have a blue sky at the end of a long, sweaty day and there would be nothing fresh about it. And she reminds you of a time when things were fresh? Fond reminiscences of freshness are no foundation for love. Fix.
Item 2: a list
Primary Colors, Ranked:
- Blue
- Red
- Yellow
Item 3: a media recommendation
The Cure - Faded Smiles
Item 4: word of the week
Duenna
The duenna was not strong, nor was she particularly clever, nor was she tidy. She wasn’t even nice. But she did consistently remember the phone number for the kids’ favorite pizza place, and that was good enough.
Item 5: a photograph
See ya!
Sorry about that. Maybe next week will be better. See you then.
