Help me I'm brain dead!
by Sarah Manners
Have you ever had one of those days where you suddenly wonder if your brain started leaking out of your ear before or after lunch, or if you even had lunch?
Well if you have – thank god I’m not the only one, and if you haven’t – go away, you must be some kind of super human on speed.
After getting back from a meeting earlier I sat down to write this post and found myself staring at my word document (for oh, it must have been at least an hour) and nothing was coming to mind – bugger! It was around about then that I realised that I must be brain dead. So I did what I always do when I’m in a pickle, I consulted Google. Apparently no one has written a terribly helpful article on “blogging when you’re brain dead”; I think there’s a need for this kind of thing…
So, what do you do when you’re feeling a tad soggy and you know you can’t manage a great post? I think (just barely) that it is our duty to put this list together so that next time someone feels the way I do they’ll have a great resource to consult.
Wanna help me construct a fun list of things to do on your blog when you’re brain dead?

post a commentI agree with scott. there is so much junk out there on the web already. although this blog is pretty good, keep up the good work. and the fact that you are a she-blogger is so much better :)

ai, just to keep the boss happy about a blog post a day! Surely there must've been some-one in your vicinity that could've at least written a one liner that makes sense. Also, sitting for 1 hr before even coming up with this post...must be a great job! Where can I apply?

If you have nothing to post, do not post.

Jeez – looks like there are a few people having a seriously bad week. The comments have been pretty unforgiving for the past few days, yes? Any how – I was trying to be funny, obviously the point was lost. No worries I’ve got big shoulders ;-) Hope you all have a good weekend and rid yourselves of some tension.

Sarah, i like to open and close my firefox as quick as I can and induce an trance like state. I then navigate to Subway and ask for a cunning seven inch sandwich... I have also been known to tune into classics fm and pipe it through headphones attached to the doll of frodo on top of my pc and re-enact swan lake. dangerous thing the inactive mind...
