Time will tell like William, but for now I feel that all the creativity has been drained from me by some nocturnal vampyric what-have-you that feeds on vaguely badly worded prose, leaving me with all the imaginative prowess of a terminally distracted amoeba. It took me about half an hour this morning to think of the word �incidental�, though granted this was before any coffee. I think I�m beginning to suffer from the opposite of Tourette�s syndrome, having involuntary, spasmodic episodes where words disappear into some lexical black hole.

The more you look for them, the more they aren�t there.
