My mind meandered off path again and I wrote a comedy script about a day in the life of a very interesting accountant.
Edgar Alan Poe’s C. Auguste Dupin (the deducing gentleman detective, residing with his storytelling friend at 33 Rue Dunôt) seems like an early version of Sherlock Holmes before Arthur Conan Doyle adapted the idea to London.
Was Mr. Bounderby an influence for the “Four Yorkshiremen” sketch?
Technology has been enabling upgrades to the abilities of my mind; for instance, reading is now more convenient because, wherever I happen to be, the world’s library is immediately accessible from my phone – and has become a healthy, as well as enjoyable, addiction for me.
Earthian: from Earth. Moonian: from Earth’s moon. Martian: from Mars. Solarian: inhabitant of Space City 1.
I stopped using the word “couple” because I’ve had misunderstandings in the past where people thought the word means “several” and not its actual meaning of “two”. “Substituted X for Y” is another one that causes confusion because, using football as the analogy, it tends to be wrongly thought that X is substituted and replaced by Y.
The time for shaking hands is after fearlessly giving complete focus to the performance.
Everything changes. Solid ground evaporates beneath sedentary feet.
To do anything interesting you must disassociate from the current expectations.
