Random Thoughts

I was told by a lady today that I was very kind; I was ringing up her purchase at this time. Afterwards, she remarked that I was probably too young for father's day, but nevertheless, she wished me a good father's day. In response, I told her that she was very kind: as far as I'm concerned, I've always been a prehistoric fossil who is out of place and out of time.

There was a guy on The Price Is Right whose name was Laverne, and I wondered to myself if his wife's name was Shirley.

In movies, when someone has to take a couple of pills, they seem to crack it in their teeth, throw their head back and swallow it without water.
What the fuck is that all about?

When I talk to strangers at work, I wonder what they really sound like at home. Sometimes they're talking to me in a certain voice, then their significant other shows up and they talk to them in a different voice. I'm over here thinking that the first voice was their business casual, and their second is their dress down Friday after work. Also, I can tell when a girl is attracted to someone they're talking to. Voice gets whiny and annoying. Nasal. Like mine.

Just today I received my 187th warning letter from TV Licensing...

"There's no TV Licence at this address. We know this because our database holds information for all 32 million UK addresses."

Luvit, Luvit Luvit.   But get this line: 'If you have sight problems you can get this information by email or in Braille'. Say what! If my eyes are so bad that I need Braille then how am I supposed to read this letter, and what the fuck would I be doing with a telly? But then it's only £147. It would be daft not to pay it. Er, hang on wait... That's 8 bottles of Gin.

I'm distraught, waiting for the 188th.

This is an interesting observation that I hadn't thought of.  I wonder if people consciously make their voice sound differently, or if they just unconsciously do it? Also, your observation reminds me of voice actors who sound differently than the character voices that they portray: Hugo Weaving, Michael Dorn, and Frank Langella (the voice of Archer, leader of the Gorgonites, in Small Soldiers) are some actors that come to mind. 

P.S. In terms of nasally voices, it seems that I have the opposite problem: when my voice gets nasally, it becomes more deep, authoritative/commanding, and basso than it already is, which is great if I want to play the role of a  super-villain or something.

I hate listening to my voice after recording it.
I sound like Raymond from Everybody loves Raymond!

Then the real horror dawns on me.... That's how I've always sounded to everyone!
Why is that?
