Advice To The Budding Chrononaut
Try not to watch movies about time travel right before bed. And if you DO decide to watch one, try not to lie in bed working out who in the movie went how far back, how many times. And if you DO lie there all analyzingwise before falling asleep, try your hardest not to spend the next six hours stressdreaming about the precise route through time you should take, in order for you and your double to synchronously appear in two precise but arbitrary locations.
IT IS NO FUN. Stress dreams (Does everyone call them that? Those partially asleep dreams where you are unsuccessfully attempt a task over and over again, and wake up exhausted?) are crappy anyway, but failing to time travel in a proper fashion is a double letdown. Not only was I unable to complete the task, but it turns out I am also unable to travel through time. Eugggh.
So what shall I listen to tonight before bed to ensure I’m not haunted by the irritating stress-dream ghost again…
No, wait. Oh bollocks.
