Kerplickity Plat Plat Splat

February 4, 2015 by Meghan 18 Comments

Every so often my brain goes Derp, followed closely by a wet Kerplickity Plat Plat Splat sound. At least that’s how I hear it in my head.

Batman Sound Effects

(source)

It’s like a Batman comic book up there, minus the whole saving lives and fighting crime bit. I do have special powers though, which I cannot reveal because if I told you, then I’d have to kill you. Cheese is involved. Shh, speak of this to no one.

The long and the short of it is my noodle needs a rest day. My creative muse has packed her bags and hopped a jet plane in search of the sun and a strong pina colada. Most bloggers, the smart ones anyway, take this as a sign to pass on posting. Not me though, I’m a full disclosure kind of gal. I talk about my ruts, my bouts with writers block or that time I lost my funny. Sometimes that guy lets himself out for a walk and doesn’t come back. Clearly, I need to leash him.

In any event, I’ve got nothing really spectacular to voice, outside of some Batman worthy onomatopoeias. Instead I’ll simply say “See you on Friday along with the recipe for these Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins.” Hopefully by then, I’ll have some words to accompany them.

Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins

 Until then, Kerplickity Plat Plat Splat.

How do you know when you need a mental rest day? What noises does your noodle make? Favorite onomatopoeia – go.

    i’m so grateful that you linked the definition because i was scratching my head for a wee moment… and with that i’ll say that ‘wee’ is a favorite, and also ‘meow’. i say ‘meow’ out loud randomly, i used to say it more but since starting my current job, i didn’t want to let the full crazy out right away. i also like to say ‘wee’ when i’m going down an escalator… i like saying ‘wowzers!’ a lot. and BAM. ok i’ll stop now, you always do this to me woman! i don’t mind but your screen could take offense.
    when my brain is drained, i am fragile infant. the clue is when someone asks me how i’m doing, and i get so overwhelmed with just that question… and then go blank, and go ‘ummmm wwhuuuttttt?’ yeah, very unattractive person when mentally drained. sometimes i just repeat the same word over and over when i’m tired, like a trauma victim. soothing and nuts. that’s me!

    by the way – you inspired a great salad my dear. take a banana (you’re welcome!) and mash with avocado. add some krawt, curry powder, and then mush this dressing around with some chopped romaine. add some pecans and dried cranberries. add some hemp oil if you fancy beeatch. add some hemp and smoke it, or just sprinkle on them seeds. 🙂

      Put that in your pipe and smoke it huh. That’s an intriguing sounding salad dressing right there. I’m fascinated. Bam! Wowzers! Meow!

    At least your brain makes noises! When mine is like that, it’s hollow, cold, silent. When it gets like that, I fill it with red wine.

      Does the red wine help? Maybe I’ll try the same thing but with white. 🙂

    I am a really good speller but never would have been able to spell onomo you know the word. Ha. I love saying it over and over though just like I did when I learned it in school. See you Friday with the muffins!

      I had to google the spelling so you are not alone.

      Ah yes muffins, I need to get on that. 🙂

    I know I need a mental rest day when you yell at me to take one 😛 I might have to give myself an extra long weekend and take Friday off, seeing as I didn’t get much of a rest last weekend, so it’s a good thing you’ll be popping in with the muffins. And that reminds me… Snap, Crackle, Pop 😉

      Somebody has gotta keep your mental health days in check. Might as well be me.

      With the inclusion of bananas and blueberries, I think you’re going to like these muffins.

    Glad your taking a mental rest day my friend, and not written a post on the crustless quiche debacle. I envision a blogging break coming up soon on my end!

      If you envision it, it will come.

      That was supposed to be all Fields of Dream-esque, and I suspect this movie was before your time, you little spring chicken.

        Scrolling through the comments I totally read that in a spooky echoy voice a la Field of Dreams, glad I was on the right track.

    I often wonder if it’s that obvious to readers when my brain does this. I am also self conscious of it so will usually disclose how I’m feeling. I can be stubborn about blogging anyway, just as I can be stubborn in general. A mental rest day is just as hard for me as a physical one 🙂

      It took me forever to learn how to take mental rest days, but man oh man, do I operate so much better when I make them a regular occurrence.

      Stubborn must run in our genes.

      So my mental health days took a turn for the unexpected, which means tomorrow will be all the naps. Saturday at the latest. Maybe both. I’m a fan of all the naps.

    Well, your noodle’s creating pretty amazing salads/posts on rest days. Or would you rather say pesto bowls?
    Unfortunately, I apparently need my brain to inform me of the importance of mental rest days by intense headaches. And I -never- have headaches. Or didn’t use to?! My brain usually is a huddled mess with too many synapses sending helpless weeping messages at once so I can’t tell you what exactly it says in those situations. Probably something along the lines of zossssh [imagine noise of burning synapses]. Clearly, I had a few of those last week. Cooked-to-mush noodle days. Holy batman am I glad they’re over.

      I’m glad they’re over too. Intense headaches doesn’t sound like a good time to me. I would love a pesto bowl. That sounds delicious; maybe some bread on the side too for dipping.
