Ye gods. On the one hand, I realize that the documentation for a new company is absolutely critical, both for planning and so that investors can judge potential opportunities. On the other hand, it’s like slow torture.

And I mean, there isn’t really much to say beyond that. Every time I generate a document, there’s two more waiting to be made. It’s kind of like killing Frenchmen in World War One, except without the satisfaction of killing the Frenchmen.

So, today I wrote two two-page documents, another two pages on my gigantic bullet list, I spent another zillion hours on the phone trying to extract simple short answers out of people who don’t seem to know how not to frame “yes” or “no” in sixteen sentences about why, and so on. huhu. Thank god for my one friend Josh, who puts up with enough of my crap to let me put my foot down and not accept Maddenized answers.

On the bright side, I discovered this. Apparently it’s a cut from a longer song by Hard and Phirm, whose album I’m beginning to think about tracking down. I found a wholly obnoxious exerpt from a children’s show that actually plays a big chunk of the rest of the song at Keith Schofield’s page, but there’s this awful bit with children asking extremely (and annoyingly) unlikely questions as a lead-in.

Look, I know it’s annoying. Suffer through it, and while you’re at it, ditch the visual part. You’re in that Schofield page for the song, not the video. The video’s double-crap. But, the song it frames – inexplicably awesome. I totally tranced out repeating it for like 40 minutes. Don’t mind the idiot children playing with a mop or throwing a hat around; it’s disinteresting. The song, though. Unf.
