    I think Danae has to go see Jeffrey to get the translation.

    Not only is it incoherent, but it sounds awfully innocent and cute for our little evil girl.

    Attention songwriters, poets and other artists. When something pops into your head, write it down right then, before it gets away. Seriously, somebody else gets it if you don’t. Ideas flow around you and your muse is your antenna. Use it. Bill Monroe, credited with inventing Bluegrass, once said that he didn’t invent anything. He just reached up and grabbed what was already flowing around….Think about that.

    Anyway, I think Danae should riff on “Boopty”. BTW, I’m told the last entry was POOP!, but Go Comics censored it…….

    H Allen Smith once wrote an entire article on the “brilliant” notes that people jot down in the night, only to find that they are absolute gibberish in the cold light of day.

    Me personally, I’ve gotten ideas for a couple of songs that way, but usually it’s concepts like “crocodile udders”.

    Her written thoughts can fit in a tweet, at least.

    I keep a pad of paper and pencil on my headboard just for these occasions (I’m a design engineer). The results I get are very similar to what Danae got.

    Waking up in the middle of the night and writing down your ideas, and dreams, or jotting them down, when you’re stoned, can be disappointing.

    Those brilliant thoughts, in the cold light of sober dawn, look exactly like Danae’s gibberish – especially, if your penmanship is as lousy as mine !

    Actually, a lot of my normal daytime thinking comes out like that, so I can fully empathize with Danae

    One of those should have said “covfefe.”

    Just goes to show the evil and inimical influence of relaxing and finding inner peace on the typical megalomaniacal mind!

    Perhaps Danae just needs a good night’s sleep.

    Perhaps other people of greater national importance could stand to sleep a lot more too!

    Not brilliant, but there were times I went to sleep, and woke up with a solution to a problem at work. I should have charged them for my sleep time.

    I hate it when I have a brilliant world-changing idea then it disappears and I can’t get it back. Sometimes I think the universe has a self-correcting mechanism that erases my ideas before it is too late.

    Paul McCartney, the first time he tried pot, insisted his roadie write down all his brilliant thoughts. Checked it the next day. It read “There are seven levels.”

    Brilliant idea, indeed, Danae, run with it!

    Old joke. Another person woke from a sound sleep with what he thought was the perfect explanation for the emotional differences between the sexes, wrote it down, then went back to sleep. When he awoke, he found this:“Higamus, hogamus, women are monogamous.

    Hogamus, higamus, men are polygamous."

    In this day and age, the appropriateness of the above might be questioned, but the validity seems to remain.

    Still looking for a good way to record bits of music compositions that pop up when I’m doodling around on my DGX.

    This is what happens to me when I try to write down my dreams.

    My father had a “brilliant idea” in the middle of the night but it was gone by morning. He resolved to keep a pencil and pad next to the bed. And “SURPRISE” the same “brilliant idea” occurred to him the next night and he wrote it down. The next morning he read, “What an incredible stink!”

    I often write down dreams. I had a brilliant idea in a dream once, and wrote it down. In the morning, I excitedly grabbed the notebook, and read, “Something smells funny.”

    I woke up once in the middle of the night knowing the reason for the universe and existence. I wrote it down, then fell back to sleep. In the morning, after waking up, I read what I had written down. It said, “Monogamy is monogamous.”

    I think that what I wrote down, and what Danae wrote down, are about the same.
