Cashing in

My flueness has mostly subsided now, of the symptoms that are left; the slight sore throat and bunged up tubes I can live with. What’s pissing me off is this distracting tickle down inside my right ear, I so so want to grap something sharp and pointy and poke it right down there and scratch it up, but thats an impossibility. Occasionally I jiggle my ear from behind, but usually this just ends up with me having a throbbing pain. The other thing that’s annoying me is the energy that flueness steals from you. I feel so helplessly exhausted.

One of my pet hates is the use of commercial music in advertising. Not for copyright issues or anything bullshit like that but because it means that you forever end up associating the piece of music with the commercial, which I’m sure is fantastic for the advertisers but it’s not so great if its a piece of music you happen to cherish, or used to. Now whenever I hear the wonderful haunting piano ditty “Vladmir’s Blues” by Max Richter I’m reminded of some crappy Hyundai. Used to be one of the tracks in my playlist of things to sooth me when I’m feeling low. So sad. So yeah, advertisers, please come up with your own tunes in future. Or carry on using Moby like you used to, I didn’t mind them using his stuff.
