#ISeeISee is about points of view and is most fun with two or more people facing each other across the book.

It takes the form of a conversation: “I See up…and I see down. I see smile…and I see frown”.

Who is wrong? Who is right?🤷‍♂️ @ChronicleBooks @AllenAndUnwin

@MikeBenchCapon I think therefore I don’t.

@HowtoADHD I don’t believe it’s a superpower or a curse. I believe it’s a quality like anything else with benefits and disadvantages. You try to maximise the benefits and minimise the disadvantages.

@LaraCainGray @greg_jenner That's the one! Great Ep.

[R. Henderson @ByRHenderson]

Just listened to the latest ‘You’re Dead to me” with @greg_jenner. I loved the energy of having a live audience.

I know it’s the only podcast I tweet about but who has the time!

Should I be concerned that I got this message from the pest control people?

@greg_jenner I tried searching for a GIF with the term "magnanimous" for you, but those results are bizarre.

So, what are your normal everyday picky-child dinner options. I'm sick of thinking about dinner all the time.

I know every picky child is picky in their own unique and wonderful way (even differing day to day) but I'll take what I can get.

Thought the ad on the right was a very puzzling reference to the classic Beach Boys album cover. Was then informed that green and gold was probably just code for "aussie".

…but I'm not seeing things, right? There's something there!

@ErsatzDoctor I just flew in from Brooklyn and boy are my arms tired! 🥁🥁

… and my legs
… my back

… and I’m sleepy and just need some time to myself

… *sigh*

… thanks for coming folks. Try the chicken or the fish. Or our vege option.

@AnnaWhateley @MoriartyCass We should go out for an expresso some time soon…

[R. Henderson @ByRHenderson]

@MoriartyCass I’m a believer in evolution of language and the legitimacy of popular usage, but I always correct my father on grammar and usage for my own amusement.

I myself will happily split any infinitive with impunity.

Theory:

“G’day” became iconic by serving two key purposes for lazy Australians such as myself…

1. Don’t have to say two whole words.

2. Don’t have to remember what time of day it is.

@danidonovan It all goes to my bed to be “sorted” and then pushed to the floor on the far side of the bed when I need to “sleep”.

And then:
Out of sight.
Out of mind.
Problem solved.

Take THAT tomorrow me!

[R. Henderson @ByRHenderson]

@Toriwriter I learned it from Bette Midler in Beaches.

[R. Henderson @ByRHenderson]

@danidonovan I also have a history of downloading productivity apps I use for two days, and I have a an adhesive whiteboard I haven’t put on my wall yet (bought in a tizzy 6 months ago)

The over-examined life is no picnic, either.

@trentonomicon I like my books like I like my authors: "Weird and Soft and Dark". That's why I like you.
