The new rubber ducky says “You’ve Got Mail”

You know what needs to be invented? Waterproof laptops. I was thinking this as I was taking a bubble bath and reading IT by Stephen King (which, by the way, may not have been the wisest course of action since there was a drain in view. That book can still give me the heebie-jeebies, it’s one of the few Stephen King books and few horror books that can push my buttons so expertly). All my best writing ideas happen either A) in the shower/bath or B) just as I’m about to drift off into sleep. With a waterproof laptop, I’d at least have a way to capture half of my missed ideas. And think of how much more productive and creative I could be!

If my best ideas are in the shower/bath…then why not write in the bathtub? Or while sitting on the shower floor with water gently falling like rain? Think about it, it’s really genius. My writing would probably become much better. And think of the market! I know authors would snap it up while singing HALLELUJAH! Or maybe that’s just me…Plus, if they’ve made waterproof vibrators, I’m sure laptops can’t be much more difficult. So I say that instead of coming out with the new bajillion-core or whatever, they should just make a waterproof laptop.

In other news, a piece of dialog came to me today that was pure genius (once again, it was during my bath. See what I’m talking about?) and I had to jump out of the bath and run butt naked to the kitchen for a pen. Luckily, I’ve mostly upgraded all my bookmarks to envelopes and little torn pieces of paper, which are very handy for these moments of inspiration (and give SOME use to junk mail). So I scribbled some notes to myself. And chuckled — yes, the dialog exchange amused me, especially for someone who could probably never be as witty in real life when talking to someone. Ah, the life of a writer.

Maybe I should post it here when I’m done typing it up — tomorrow. Today, IT calls.
