What's this? The day after AIOTM and I didn't have to get up for an early morning TV show or to drive to Manchester? What was I thinking? I slept in til after 11, which wasn't quite as lazy as it sounds as I'd been up til 3 due to post-gig adrenaline, but it was a wonderful feeling to know that I had a whole day in front of me without any work to do at all! Woo hoo!
But what could I do with my time? Should I go out and shoot a baboon to get a sense of what it would be like to kill someone? Or would that just give me a sense of what it was like to kill a baboon? Better I guess if I wanted to get a sense of what it was like to kill someone (and even I am confused as to why I would want to feel that) then maybe I should shoot AA Gill through the lungs. Not only is he clearly not a real human being with human feelings, but it also seems very likely to me that he is a potential human murderer too. Like a lot of serial killers he practised on animals first and even admits that he only shot the baboon to see what it's like to kill someone, which means he is really interested in killing a person. And if a human being is to die, surely it's best that it is AA Gill. He makes Ceith Allen look like a decent and caring human being. No wonder the apes are planning to overthrow humans and make us their slaves. Seriously, what a horrible objectionable cunt. But let's waste time criticising Jimmy Carr for making an offensive joke that isn't actually offensive and calling for people to be sacked because they've offended someone's grandad, rather than locking AA Gill up somewhere where he can harm no one but himself.
I have always thought he was a massive tool. AA stands for Arsehole Arsehole by the way.
Jesus, he wants to get some idea of what it would be like to kill a person. And isn't even clever enough to know that killing a baboon can give you no idea of that. Unless you happen to know some furry, small person with a blue arse.
Try and live your life so you leave the world a better place than it was before you arrived. In whatever tiny way that might be.
Killing things for no reason when you're in your fifties? And then showing off about it.
Oh forget it.
I didn't shoot a baboon. Not today. And I didn't kill AA Gill, but I don't think there's a person in the world who would have disapproved if I did. Instead I went to the supermarket to stock up on some healthy food. I haven't had time to do anything like this all month long and it was pretty enjoyable to just be loading up a trolley with yoghurts (and other stuff). The normal stuff is important and funny how when you haven't done it for ages, stuff that is usually dull can be kind of beautiful.
Later I chilled out doing a Sudoku in a pub when I was waiting for my girlfriend and then heading back to hers to watch DVDs. And if she is a saboteur trying to deprive me of sleep and wreck my life then she took a night off tonight. No extraneous sounds. Maybe, like in James Bond, the opposing agent has actually fallen in love with her target. Or maybe the last blog just tipped her off to the fact I was suspicious. Only time will tell.
Oh yeah and on the way home, within the space of 5 minutes I saw both Little Cook from Big Cook, Little Cook (he's broken his tiny arm) and Robin Askwith from the Confessions film series. I don't think London gets any more exciting than that.

And London based podcast fans will be excited to know that we'll be recording podcast 100 in front of a live audience at the Leicester Square Theatre on 1st February 2010. It will be a chance to see us in the flesh, but also to meet the over like-minded nitwits who enjoy the podcast. It's gonna be a big party. Tickets should sell fast, so book now!. And don't forget, we're also doing one at the Duke of Yorks in Brighton on 8th December.
