Ideas That Come From My Insomnia

My insom­nia is back. Worse than the last episode, not as bad as the time before just yet.

After years of this, I have learned that many things that SEEM like a bril­liant idea while in the midst of my sleep depri­va­tion are not as awe­some once I’m able to sleep again.

At one point, I started mak­ing a “List of Things That Seem Like A Good Idea But Pos­si­bly Aren’t — Check Back After Get­ting Sleep” lists.

Today, Office Mom, which is like being the RA for a bunch of socially awk­ward, rau­cous group of col­lege kids away from home for the first time, told me I should clear my brain by writ­ing one of my silly sto­ries. I’m fresh out of silly, but I’ll share my list from this bout of insom­nia. The list thus far:

Pajama Work Pants — they’re dressy enough for work, but you don’t have to change when you get up. Pos­si­ble prob­lem in know­ing when the offi­cial clothes chang­ing time comes around.

The Talk Back App — an app that lets you reply to the often stun­ningly bad CNN break­ing news push noti­fi­ca­tions. Because some­times, I think they need my feedback.

Where In The World Is The iPhone 5, Tim Cook? board game. Pretty self explana­tory. Pos­si­ble prob­lem: No one ever wins and every­one leaves unhappy with their new gadget.

Face­Time on the bases– Fans could Face­Time with guys stuck on base, wait­ing for a hit. Pos­si­ble prob­lem: Pretty much everything.

Every­body Poops & Tweets — A bath­room book of hilar­i­ous tweets to read in the bath­room. Pos­si­ble prob­lems: NONE I CAN THINK OF

Note: this list is sub­ject to change at any moment. It all depends on how long I go with­out sleep. I’d say check back, but after that last idea, I don’t think it could get any bet­ter either!
