Things you probably don’t know about me. Part 6 of 16.

There are people who are amazing on making mixtapes/cds/whatever (mix LPs, that’s what I want to see). They take time and the end result is you sitting there, mouth agape, the music ringing in the ears and your brain splattered across the wall because the selection and order is so mind-blowingly good. Me? I’m decent. I got another card up my sleeve.

The booklets are my kind of thing. Thick and lots of text and images, some tied together with string, others made like a giant jigsaw puzzle. While I take time to choose songs and order — because you have to, it’s the law — it’s nothing when measured in time I take with making the booklet. Especially when dealing with mix cds, without a proper booklet, what’s the big deal? It is too easy. This way, it’s adds a difficulty level when choosing songs, there has to be something I can write about. I have to think and be articulate about what otherwise might had been intuitive

And besides, I love booklets with bought cds as well. Really love them. So I always get saddened when it’s just a small paper with song titles and copyrights. Fuck that. Give me texts! Give me stories! Give me photos! So there’s no way I could do that to anyone, no matter how much longer it might take to get finished because I’m too lazy.

Differences between left and right.

1. Left hand warm, right hand cold.
2. Left index straight, right index has a callus
3. Left used to have some burn marks from a battery, right used to have more paper cuts.
4. Left is a bit weaker, right has wobbly wrist.
5. Left is always left, right might sometimes be “the other left”.

Should I write something about the Oscars?  Fuck no. There are more important things I’ve been thinking about. Like the Official Rules of Night Badminton! Exciting, yes? It should be, any game where you get to use the phrases “that was close!” and “there it is!” is amazing. Since I got no real clue about sports at all the rules will be sketchy. Also, they’re a work in progress.

• A game of NB must be played at night, outside, in the dark.
• Light sources of fire close by or on the field is okay.
• A game is five rounds where-in a round is a arbitrary concept which the combatants agree on beforehand.
• There are four combatants in each game. The field is four areas in a square.
• Two points when you hit the ball, one point when you’re close to hitting it, and minus one if you have to look for it when you’ve missed. Three points if you hit the ball on someone else’s area.
• You must hit the ball towards the other combatants but there are no rule about which one.
• If it’s windy, your arms will be sore the morning after. There will be masturbation jokes.
• If a combatant dies during a game, it will win automatically. Because really, it’s a shitty way to go. While it’s still embarrassing, at least this way their family can say they won.
• A tournament needs the following equipment besides a field and a fistfull of rackets:

1. A whiteboard
2. Pens in different colours
3. A flashlight
4. A drunk judge
5. Cheese

• Talk about other things during the game by the combatants are encouraged. So are drinking beer.
• If you play to win, you’re doing it wrong.
