The Incredibly Sad Tale of a Twenty Dollar Note.
…And by ‘sad‘ I mean ‘boring‘.
Meet Mr. Twenty.
He’s been living on my pin board for nigh on two years, eleven months and thirteen days. Not that anyone kept count. That would just be weird.
It was mid-way through January 2007 when for reasons that cannot be mentioned… or remembered… If they even existed to begin with, I leased out this spot on my pin board to Mr Twenty Dollar Note. He has lived there ever since, always ready for an emergency. Patient beyond understanding, to the point of appearing to be an inanimate object.
For over two years and eleven months he has waited. What would the emergency be?
Would he be used for beer? A pack of cigarettes? A burger and chips? An emergency trip to the aquarium for a private viewing of the sacred goldfish of the amazon?
But alas, ’twas never meant to be. The emergency never emerged. The necessity to take him down and spend him was never there. He was forgotten and remembered, laughed about and asked about. Summers passed, winters went by, springs sprung past, autumn’s did whatever the hell they do… And still he hung around.
But now it is time for him to leave his spot on the pin board.
Today Mr Twenty Dollar Note is moving to the back fold of the wallet. To be spent as frivolously as any other note…
For where I go now, no pin board can follow.
Everything is coming down in these parts, preparing for the Big Move, and being packed away into boxes, awaiting the day when I shall send for them. At first I’m going to be living on what I can carry on the plane. So I’m minimizing everything in order to fit it into the suitcase and keep under the weight limit.
Only three more days until I’m in Melbourne.
A Laptop, a Laptop, My Kingdom for a Laptop.
At Two o’clock this morning I came within a pidgeons fart of buying a sexy new Laptop.
One more click of the mouse and I would’ve bought it.
The truth is though, at the present moment, I really don’t need one. Not right now at least, Maybe in the future when my book gets published and becomes a number one bestseller and I have to travel a lot doing book tours. But I don’t need one right now, I just really, really, really, really want one.
I’ve decided, just for now, to put it off. I have decided to make it a reward for myself for finishing my novel… So it may be a while before I get one.
I figured this is a good idea and have also extended it to buying anything. – I tend to buy a lot of crap -
So now I need to hurry up and finish my novel. At this stage I’m not sure which it will be either Blue Flowers (the novel formerly known as The Transient) or Mal Macabre…
Place your bets now! Odds are 1:1 on both.
I saw this the other night. It has got to be the funniest and most random punching people in the face sketches out there.
