I seem to be really good at shower art.

It's weird, because my drawing usually sucks - but whenever I'm showering, I can make absolutely gorgeous drawings on the steam-covered glass panels. They're really pretty!

I think there must be a correlation between this and the whole singing-in-the-shower thing. Like a scientific principle: artistic abilities increase in proportion to the subject's proximity to mechanised jets of water.

I should really start taking waterproof paper in there with me, and see if my writing improves...

I'll have to take a shower with you sometime so I can see these pretty drawings ;-)

or a waterproof camera...

for the drawings

Hey, maybe just find a waterproof tape recorder, or something, and dictate it! ;)

Although, technically, the shower singing thing is mostly because of a shower's acoustics, and the fact that the sound of running water somewhat covers your own voice.

But I'm willing to jive with your theory.

Ahh... taped recorded fic...

Brilliant idea.

Funny how that stuff works, isn't it?

Also, lovely icon. :D

[deird1]

It really is.


Isn't the icon pretty! Isn't Tara pretty! *happy sigh* I could just sit here and watch her for hours...

"artistic abilities increase in porportion to the subject's proximity to mechanised jets of water."

To take this a bit further, how to these abilities react to the placement, strength, or oscillation of those mechanized jets?? *now ponders jumping back in shower after just getting out...*

I actually come up with my best writing ideas while stuck in traffic... the heavier the traffic, the better the ideas... really good for writing, really bad for work... *sigh*

Hee! Someone after my own heart!

Heavy traffic? I must try this...

the quick 35 minute commutes don't produce much--I've actually got to pay attention to the cars speeding at a good 35mph in front of me... but the hour forty minute commute... well, that can give me brain-hurting-I-can't-believe-i-just-came-up-with-the-perfect-bridge-to-my-story ideas since I can go a full ten minutes without even clearing the first dash on the spedometer... once you get into the skill of paying attention to the car in front of you and just a little-bit-day-dreaming, its awesome... I actually enjoyed my two hour commute on wednesday... I solved a huge contradiction to a fanfic I was writing to contradictions that already exist in the stargate universe... *happehsigh*

I always get my best ideas in the shower, so I can totally relate.

I've always found it a good place for plotbunnies...
