But I guess life would then be dull!
Right at this very moment it is 6:59am and I'm sitting on a battered sofa in my living room, feeling all my thoughts spinning around inside my head like a hurricane; full of leaves, autumn mists, past, future and present. The cat is trying to climb chair backs and staring at me like I'm sitting in the wrong place and maybe I am. I don't have to work today - I should be in bed...
But there's things to do; props to be made, raffle tickets to fold, train times to check, taxi numbers to find, emails to be written, editing to be done, scripts to be drafted, washing up filling the sink and a brand new laminator to be played with. All of which could be ample distractions from each other and writing this and doing the things that really are important or essential... But I feel like I'm at the brain train station, watching high speed thoughts rush by and not sure quite which route to take. There's decisions to be made and I'm just not sure I'm the right person to be making them...
Enough rambling...
Those of you who know me know that I'm about to take part in a Rockband charity event on Sunday 15th November - I and seven other gamers are doing the endless setlist from Rockband 2, with no breaks, no pauses and no fails and an additional setlist to bring it up to a round hundred, to raise money for The Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust, the UK's leading brain tumour research and support charity. Even switching out with each other to make sure we don't get motion sickness, we'll all be doing at least four hours play each, in public, including singing...

More about Cheesemint next post, right now I'm off to write to do lists or maybe go back to bed. Do 'to do' lists count as writing practice?...
