Shower is best, though driving and sleeping and walking are great too. <br /><br />The other day, I was so deep in creative thought that I washed my hair with body gel, and my body with hair conditioner.<br /><br />I wonder how much money I'd make if I created an in-shower computer and keyboard? Of course, I suspect the very existence of such a device in my shower might just drive all creativity away...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-11643868744688209702011-09-27T14:34:26.601-04:002011-09-27T14:34:26.601-04:00Yes!

Which is annoying because I either have to wake up and write it down, or I forget. So it's sleep vs. creativity. And the winnings are about 50/50.
