Turns Out, Having Insomnia in the Middle of the Night is a Really Pointless Way to Spend Your Evening

September 7, 2012 by

So I was going to write something intelligent today. It was going to be filled with humour and quiet excitement and may even have included something profound. But as I did not really sleep last night I’m sort of squinting at my laptop trying to remember how words work. I don’t sleep through the night. […]

Driving in Fog is Like Sleepwalking, You Never Know Quite Where You’ll End Up

The view out our windscreen this morning. And then the truck ahead disappeared. It took me rather longer than I would like to be bothered by that. I think my survival instincts are on the fritz. This is probably because I am in desperate need of more sleep. Yes, I know, tired is my natural state […]

Things I have learned in my travels: Peru’s flag bears a striking resemblance to the rainbow flag Rick can sense good coffee like some kind of bloodhound French people really do say ‘ooh la la’ Huayna Picchu is 360 metres higher than Machu Picchu See that peak behind the ruins?

This is Not a Pun*

New theory. Disney isn’t made of happiness or bluebirds or terrifyingly peppy smiles. It’s made of puns. All the puns came together and they formed Disneyland. And I was a leetle bit afraid. * I was going to pun. I was. I confess. But then, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I went […]

Should This Chapter Be Called ‘Girding Your Loins’, ‘Possible Death’ or ‘Dead Cheerful’?

Me: I cannot have a chapter entitled ‘You pay in blood’ followed by one called ‘Blood on your hands’. That’s just wrong. Arkem: Blood around my digits. Me: Oddly enough it’s not the word ‘hands’ that causing the problem. Arkem: Viscous red goo that I cannot explain. Me: Yes, thank you. Very helpful.* I am […]

Me: I hate my book. It is a travesty made of terrible writing. Arkem: That’s not true. Me: How would you know? You haven’t even read it. Arkem: Well it doesn’t sound like it would be true. Me: That is a terrible basis for an argument. I have apparently developed a brand new habit of […]

What You Are Doing Can’t Be As Important As This*

Me: I want you to appreciate that I did not call you at your 2am this morning. I almost did. And then I did math. I wasn’t sure about the math but it seemed like I should not do that. Also I probably would have just bibbled plaintively in your ear about being delayed at LAX. […]

Time Means Nothing, Never Will Again

I don’t have an ear infection. I don’t. Which is good as I’m getting on a fourteen hour flight today. But I did have one last week. Which made my doctor give me a disturbing number of tablets under the theory that, given the situation, ‘extreme prejudice’ was the approach to take. (Including saying, You […]

Me: Would you remind me tomorrow to make a doctor’s appointment? Rick: I reminded you today. Me: Yes, but I was writing. So I was all la la la, go away. Rick: Oh doom. Me: Don’t do that. I was writing! You don’t interrupt writing for frivolous administrative pursuits. Rick: Like your health and well-being. […]

I really enjoy his work but watching Aaron Sorkin’s new series The Newsroom feels kind of like watching re-runs. Now I’m wondering if you could actually dialogue match a whole episode of the The Newsroom…
