How to make Kapitano's Special Healthy Soup:
* Boil a saucepan of water. See what lentils are on your shelf. Dump two handfuls of the yellow lentils into the water, then two handfuls of the orange ones. On impulse add a handful of split peas.
* Boil gently for half an hour, taking care to let it boil over when you're not looking.
* On another impulse, finely chop two rashers of bacon, and add them to the lentils.
* Meanwhile, chop up the three quarters of an onion you found in a cup in the fridge, a leek, a spring onion because you feel like it, and a stick of celery. Together with the frozen chopped peppers that no one else in the house uses, slowly fry the onion in olive oil.
* Decide that it's too much hassle to wash the puree making device, so it's going to be stew instead.
* Dump the onions, peppers, celery, and leek into the lentils, and simmer on low heat for another half hour.
* Meanwhile, make yourself an unhealthy ham and cheese sandwich, and munch it with a cup of tea, while watching Patrick Moore on TV talk about the planet Venus.
* Turn off the hob, and eat a bowl of your stew, while watching Johnathan Ross review the latest movies.
* Have another bowl because it's quite nice.
* Go and lie down because you've eaten too much.
"Army Dreamers" isn't so difficult to turn into a generic synthpop song, provided you start with the printed lyrics and work them into a new key, tempo and intonation, rather than start by trying to immitate the original finished recording. Maybe that's how Devo came up with their version of "Satisfaction".
With four songs mostly completed (bar vocal work), it looks like I'm accidentally making an EP of electroclash Kate Bush covers. Which at least has the virtue of being unexpected.
Oh, and having got this far in three days, the event has been pushed back a month.
Some people spend a lot of time surfing blogs for interesting content. And some of these blog about it.
And if that doesn't excite you, how about a dating service for millionaires only. Is is me, or is the something faintly suspicious about a site for the rich, on a free host? It's like draping a squat with tinsel and inviting the Bilderbergs in.
Blogger tells me I can switch my little blog to beta. It promises more options and greater reliability - not to suggest the current service is unreliable, of course. I'll give it a go.
