Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 31Jan 31: Creative License — This is it Wilson, Son of Will (fitting name). The final step on this staircase to glory, the last day of loosely trying, the end of a great excuse to be a pretend writer… the moment of truth, well debrief. I completely failed at waking up at 7am for a…Morning2 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 30Jan 30: I wake therefore I exist — Finally some time alone with you little computer. Stop ruining it by sending me notifications about my cloud storage, you’re trying to pick a fight and I won’t bite. I’d better take it seriously at one point though… I really don’t want you to lose your mind, I mean your…Morning4 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 29Jan 29: Jet-lag — I went Missing in Action today. It’s 22:43 exactly, and I just sat down to write my late afternoon report. I could say it was the flu, the kids that kept me from doing my deeds, the schedule that got flipped on its head or the creative process that got…Morning4 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 28Jan 28: Hells no — I gots myself a shiny new flu, because all pre-existent viruses are still in fashion. Whilst Covid — and probably its thousands of undiscovered variants — has been all the rage in 2020 and threatens to keep the crown for at least 6 more months; other recurrent viruses are probably…Morning2 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 27Jan 27: Goddam. Can’t stick to the program — Reddit is keeping me awake at night. I’ll see a controversial or stupid post and I immediately want in. Terrible waste of time and I was not ready to leave my bed this morning. My phone is haunting me. I made a few changes this morning, to see how the…Morning3 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 26Jan 26: Approx — 7:32 this morning. I heard my partner’s alarm from Noah’s bed. Early asthma again. I went to give him his med and ended up falling asleep next to him. This report will be less spontaneous, as I reserved a subject for today. I’ve been obsessing with Nina’s version of Mr…Morning3 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 7, 2021DAY 25Jan 25: 6h56 — 6:56 seems to be the default setting for my internal clock, then I either overrule it or ride the wave. Today I got up and stood there for 2 mins before slipping back in. One long bed hug before facing the world. Then the day started. We had to have…Morning2 min read
Feb 7, 2021DAY 24Jan 24: I woke up — It wasn’t late but it’s not 7am. I figured out what my perfect alarm would be, and now that I think about it this will definitely be a feature when brain chip implants roll out. I’d have Shia Leboeuf doing the triangle-genital-chi-awakening chanting “just do it”. …Morning3 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 6, 2021DAY 23Jan 23: Sure! Why not — 7:30 ~ 8:00. Shower, dog poop, freezing cold, coffee, sit to write report. Alex is up and telling me about this exciting Avatar interview. Noah just coughed his way past the kitchen. I know… I should take him to yet another doctor appointment. But they’ll just tell me to give…Morning2 min read
Published in UP! Morning Reports·Feb 6, 2021DAY 22Jan 22: Renegotiated — Technically I woke up at 3am and moved around the house, so this is a huge win. I woke up again at 8 something and stayed floating in the limbs whilst my inner council decided if it was worth opening more than one eye. There’s a storm outside, and fireworks…Morning3 min read
