I feel flat. not like I got run over (although I am a little hung-over) but filled with ennui, antipathy. I need 50 cc's of inspiration, stat. what do you do when you are feeling flat? exercise? brood? sketch? eat? I need some ideas...blow me up folks.

"our imagination accepts a Centaur, but not, let's say, a bull with the face of a cat. No. That would be no good, very, very uncouth. But you accept the Minotaur, the Centaur, because they are beautiful. Well, at least we think of them as being beautiful. They of course are a part of tradition. But Dante, who had never seen monuments, had never seen coins, he knew the Greek myths through Latin writers. And he thought of the Minotaur as being a bull with a human bearded face. Very ugly. "
J.L. Borges
