Thinking aloud

Tonight I tried to write a very important letter – a real hard one that contains heavy criticism about something that I obviously won’t go in to here. Needless to say, the matter at hand has been driving me mad, and it was finally time to put pen to paper.

But as I was preparing, I thought it would be a useful exercise to speak it out first and record it on tape – and, importantly, to imagine the person I wanted to write to, speak as if I were speaking directly too them (so it would get too angry, to keep me focused etc).

However, Anja is far too pretty to serve as a substitute for the person in question, so she improvised using a pillow from the sofa and some of my clothes! Here is the mystery letter receiver that I lectured tonight. From Anja’s general demeanour in this picture, I’m guessing she found my talk fascinating:

So, if you get a strong letter from me in the next few days, and you’ve read this blog (who knows!), then ... oops!

I'd be feeling a little jealous if I were you. I think that guy is trying to put his arm around Anja.

At least we all know what you think of this person, considering what he looks like...

Jim, would that be a guilty conscience!

Ben, I enjoyed tearing the ***tard's legs off after I noticed, thanks to your observation, where his arm was.

Hi Metalepsis, I've just added you to my personal blogroll.

TB, this is Chris Trouble Tilling, you know.
