writer's idiosynchrasy

if you're a writer, you know that there are rituals and rites unique to each person in order to make something coherent burst forth. some people have to sit in the same chair, drink a certain beverage, wear a lucky hat, or what have you. it's because writers are a bunch of pretentious, obsessive compulsive yahoos. the lot of them. so that's why i haven't been blogging. my desktop computer is ailing, and i can't work under those conditions! it's like the entire train has been derailed and the passengers are all on fire and flailing about. i'll work on the problem this weekend if i'm not too hungover, dead, or in the clink.
