Solo and chorale

Now here's the thing: A soloist is a single instrument, as the composer wished.  A choir is also a single instrument, but it has multiple voices, like an organ, or even a piano.  See how that works?

Soap idea 2

Image
Make a hand soap which, when it lathers, shows a kind of grey colour, suggesting your hands were a bit manky when you washed them. This gives the impression your hands were dirtier than you thought they were, and will encourage you to wash your hands more often, even where you previously might have thought you didn't need to. 

Soap idea 1

What if a soap opera actually were an opera?  I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate soap, but I think that has to be the easy part.  Maybe if it's an opera, but set in the headquarters (and factory?) of a huge multinational like Johnson & Johnson or Unilever, though that might be difficult to show on stage.  This soap opera, unlike most soap operas, needs more thought. 

Cuba

TIL that the flag of Cuba has one star.  Apparently the bedsheets were not changed daily, the staff insisted on speaking some kind of Hispanic, and the tea making facilities didn't have PG Tips. One star.

Hard-boiled

A guy gut-shot another guy. A broad came to my office. "Get him." I looked around. Asked. Found out things.  A cop beat me up. A broad kissed me, and I kissed her right back.  She was as beautiful as a sunset, if a sunset ever spiked your drink and smashed your teeth.  Then it all became clear.  The guy who shot the guy was the sunset broad. She shot me too, but I shot her.  Now I'm the one writing down what happened.  THE END
