an unspeakably bad week

How is it possible to feel so horrible, yet in the midst of it to discover the next (or at least a) BIG HONKIN' IDEA?

Big Honkin Ideas, for me, are not really a fantabulous single idea, but the place where two fairly decent (and often unrelated) ideas collide and form a premise. To that end, when I get an idea I text it to my gmail where I find it in the morning and transfer it to an index card and then place it in the index card storage box I call the Nugget Bucket, thereby (I hope) encouraging collisions.

Except it hasn't really worked...until now.

This is so astounding, so simple, so high concept. Why has nobody written this yet?

When the BHI came, I almost forgot to loathe myself for a second, but I remembered just in time.
