bed surfing

I think people who claim they can laptop from bed are dirty liars. Whenever I try to, my brains get sucked into my pillows and I start clicking around the stupidest things on the internet and then I fall asleep and then I wake up and turn my computer off and then I fall asleep again. Anyway, the point is, this does not happen at my desk. Please share your success stories about laptopping from bed in my comments section so I can call you a dirty liar.

I took this photograph yesterday (the white space is a part of the photo):





Because the dress has just been sitting in my closet and I don’t care what happens to it, which is a pretty good reason to take a photograph, as far as I’m concerned. High Tension came in the mail which I bought PURELY FOR AESTHETIC REASONS and the fact that it would be good minus the ending and now I want to take a million horror movie type photographs but to be honest that would be a lot of work and I’m lazy. Also Land of the Dead came in the mail too, which I bought because I love it (zombies + class issues FTW!) and also Carla Bruni’s debut CD came too, which is beautiful.

I think God would not have invented Hello Kitty pajama pants if he did not want me to live in them.

Also, I think if you had sex with a zombie, you would probably become one.

I think a lot of things.

I’ve had a twitter account since June 10th and have decided the internet is much richer for having a place where I can tell you exactly when I am eating skittles and how much I’m enjoying them. I’ve discovered most of the social networking sites I belong to give me a heightened sense of self-importance, except for MySpace, which does a pretty good job of keeping it in line.

    Firstly – take horror movie type photographs! Yay!

    Secondly – I think you’ve already seen the pic I have of trying to laptop in bed, but just in case you are dying to see it again… http://emilyhainsworth.livejournal.com/6023.html

    Thirdly – Is it possible that Pajama Pants could protect you from sexual infection by zombies? Cause I am set.

    It is increasingly difficult to conceive of an internet devoid of hyper self importance.

    Now… zombies … it sounds like you are implying that zombiness is the result of a communicable disease ? Most likely viral, transmitted via body fluids ? If this is indeed what you are implying, we should perhaps keep in mind that there is likely some natural resistance in any given population, so the transmission rate is unlikely to be 100%. We might also need to consider if one can be a carrier but asymptomatic ? Perhaps you don’t have to sleep with a zombie yourself, but simply someone who has slept with a zombie, or another carrier, at some point. And that’s a bit scary, if you ask me.

    So scary in fact that I can’t even comment on your photo. Or write about effective strategies for laptop use in bed.

    I have never owned a laptop, but I always thought if I did I would use it in the bathroom, not in bed! Hahahaha. Bubble bath? Update my website! Need to shave your legs? Check myspace! I am not sure I could use the interwebs from my bed though, as I would probably do the same as you.

    P.S. Love the dress! I did not see the rest of this post! High Tension was a GREAT movie! I also think if you have sex with a zombie you will become one, because I’m sure they’d bite a little, and that’s all you need! I wish I could get into twitter, but I really can’t. I always forget about it anyway!

    Nice new digs–I detect a fresh clean scent. Did you febreeze the place?

    I too think that people who write in bed are liars, liars, liars. If they don’t fall asleep, well, most people have the TV right there these days. Try making me believe you can just have it on for ‘background noise.’ Suuuuure you can…

    *coughs* Uh, good to know your thoughts on the zombie sex thing. One less thing to keep me up at night.

    Emily: firstly — maybe one day! After I finish a draft of this darn book. :) secondly – GOD I LOVE THAT PICTURE. Thirdly – AHAHAHAHAHAH. They totally could! I mean. That’s totally why I’m wearing them. Yes. High-five!

    Damon: zombification HAS to be communicable and viral because of the bites! So if you had sex with a zombie (well, unprotected), you’d likely become a zombie, right? And it’s true EVERYONE has the zombie disease. It just lies dormant until you die, I suppose, it’s when you get bitten that speeds up the whole process. So everyone is an asymptomatic carrier until they die or until they’re bitten. But you think sex with a zombie would likely speed up the process as well, since those communicable elements are uhm… happening? Hee.

    Ula: Hah! But in the bubble bath, terrible things could happen. And thank you! You know, I was thinking of zombification through the swapping of bodily fluids (ie unprotected zombie sex, I suppose), but you’re right. A zombie would totally bite.

    Angela: I DID. Thank you for noticing. ;) And my TV is on as background noise right now! It is, I swears it! And I am glad I have taken that off your mind, re: the zombie sex.

    My friend Meg used to watch movies on her laptop whilst in a hottub. Unfair. (Who has a hottub AND a laptop, and why don’t I?)

    PS – I saw a Zombie card game in a games shop the other day and thought of you. I’m not sure what the premise is, you are either a zombie fighting other zombies, or you are trying to destroy zombies? Either way, it seemed very co-presidential :)

    I’ve tried the laptop in the bed writing experiment and it failed. I’ve tried the laptop outside writing and that failed also. Laptop writing on a desk works fine but that sort of defeats the purpose of a laptop doesn’t it? Even in a hotel I usually put it on the desk which is seldom used except for the placing of sodas and salty snacks.

    Briony: OMG, LAPTOPPING IN A HOTTUB. I would fail at that but I would love failing at it. And aaah! Hee. Yay zombies!!

    Brian: it does defeat the purpose but, oh well. It’s not our fault!

    Well, look, unlike Ula and other more knowledgeable persons about developments in the zombie genome, vis a vis biting and transmissability, I stand corrected.

    I will still, however, stand by my assertion that it is scary, since by your reductionist theory, i am a zombie carrier, albeit asymtomatic.

    Very reassuring, thankyou very much !

    I don’t know who you are. I woke up in bed on this website.

    PS You’re equally adorable in brick face or Aussie face

    That is exactly how I happened upon my site as well. ;)
    Thank you, Mark!!!
