Excuse Me?


I’m sorry, what? Someone clearly thought they could lie their way outta this one…

Paper Writing Setup



Fig. 1: Many, many highlighted documents open at once, as if I can read more than one thing at a time.

Fig. 2: Discarded cans of diet coke and an empty tea mug. Rather than reuse this mug, invevitably I will get a new one each time I decide I want a refill.

Fig. 3: Tea-bag disposed of by placing on a coaster. Stay classy.

Fig. 4: Soothing candle (does not help stay soothed).

Fig. 5: Reading glasses, removed to take picture.

Fig. 6: Notebook full of incomprehensible scribbles which I am attempting to turn into a paper.*

[Not pictured: Angsty, emo or indie music playing on the stereo; 15 Herseys Kisses wrappers hiding behind the computer screen.]

*Note that sometimes I can’t even read my own handwriting.

Don't Dead: Open Inside


At first glance, thought the title of this book was The Impossible Dead Ian Rankin. This is why cover design is so important.
