Colin and the fear of horses -
Categories: Colin was afraid of horses.
Colin was afraid of dwarves.
Colin was absolutely terrified of Shetland Ponies.
Hello. Ruth here. What a surprise!
Not a surprise really - I was being sarcastic.
Who invented sarcasm? Probably Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder.
Hello. This blog appears to be taking the form
Of three line stanzas
For no apparent reason.
I went to see Demitri Martin's show tonight. It was fucking amazing.
The kind of show that makes you love the world again,
just for having someone like him in it.
I am obsessed with this three-line thing now.
Sorry if it's irritating.
Actually - I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry at all.
But I'm going to stop now. I feel it's time.
So. I'm feeling a little trapped in my show at the moment. I feel a bit like I tried, I did it, I've learnt things; and now I want to move on and try something new. I'm not one of those people who likes repeating characters...my attention span is much too short for that.
Having said that, I'm also a perfectionist...but maybe that's something to do with it. There's a part of me that doesn't like the idea that a project or a show or a character can never be complete; finished; 'perfect' - whilstever you keep working on it, you are admitting its imperfections. But by not working on it, it will always be flawed and in the infancy of its potential.
Therein lies the irony.
That's what Shakespeare said about the cupboard he kept his ironing board in.
