I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but I'm not feeling any particular inspiration for the last day or two. As I mentioned, I have switched over to water as my full-time drink, so I might be over-hydrated, but I'm not convinced that's it.

This does happen sometimes to writers/comics/actors/lawyers/robots/monkeys and whatever it is that you are. I've found not to fight these moments, but to just sit in them and see what comes from them is usually the best way to handle them. Usually, what comes from them is something very good.

I do think that this partly has to do with the fact that the news has become amazingly repetitious lately. Muslims burn this, someone bombs that, there's a riot here and a torching there. It's just getting boring, isn't it? On top of that, I went to see "Date Movie", which I wrote about, and I think that is sucked some of the creative juices out of me. Damn that big Hollywood sucking machine.

Ironically, I've got a couple potentially good things just on the horizon, which come to think of it, might also have to do with the nothingness right this second. Does anyone remember how Atreyu and Bastian defeated The Nothing?

It was by using their imagination. And with that, tommorrow I promise for a highly imaginative and interesting post.
