I had already canceled my wild party plans with Partner in Crime, as I have a highly important (as in make or break) copy pitch to do over the weekend and I can’t risk a hangover. It’s just as well though, because apparently we’re getting hit by a real corker of a storm, the worst in like 7 years or something.
That reminds of one of my favourite Stephen King short stories, called Rainy Season, where a couple move to a small town (you know how his small towns are) and are warned by the locals to get out for the night as a storm is a comin’. They think the locals are trying to cause kak, and they stay in the town… and let’s just say that it wasn’t raining cats and dogs, it was raining killer toads.
I loved that one, and I like storms when I am not outside in them. Although, actually being smack bang in the middle of one can be fun. Anyway, I ventured out just now to get bread and milk (and chocolate) and there was a weird feeling in the air… all heavy and strange.
So I am going to spend the day working, and refining my pitch so that I am 1000.00% happy to send it off on Monday morning, and then I am going to vegetate.
It’s polar out there.
The great in doors, with a bottle of red wine and a book, and another book and a blanket (almost like Linus in Peanuts). Ok a tv as well.
After a long hard month a quiet weekend feels like heaven so I’m not complain too loudly about the stormy weather.
And go luck with that pitch, a little practice goes a long way with these things. And remember to wear clothes that you are comfortable in come Monday, people often forget that, they master the material but are then distracted by uncomfortable shoes or slacks (got to love that word) – you know what I mean…
Hehe – lucky for me, it’s my writing that will be doing all the talkin’. It will be going up against another copywriter, and whoever wins this copy pitch wins the account so to speak.
I am going to be migrating to the couch fairly soon I reckon.
Sensible that is ain’t it.
And on the couch will you have to make hard decisions like Prison Break or whatever. And then flick between the two during adverts. It’s hard work being a couch potato. I’m airing the flat with my jacket and boots on then I’ll retire to the coach, well my reading chair to be more precise.
My remote broke a while ago, so I plan ahead with the tv guide, lol.
Enjoy chill session!
