I think it's great some hotels provide stationery. because the first thing i like to do when i get to a hotel room is write a letter. "my dearest gwendolyn, i arrived by nightfall at the embassy suites. it will be a fortnight after my return that this letter shall arrive. allow me to explain the curious charge at the ledger. it is because i miss thee so much, darling, i accidentally ordered sorrority sisters 7."

Funny Writing Thinking

More From Jim Gaffigan

I've stayed in so many hotel rooms that i'm shocked if, when i stay in a hotel room, the hotel phone isn't on the desk. then i'm like, "this isn't a real hotel room." if there's not outlets next to the desk, or if they have an iphone adapter for an iphone 4, that's when i'm sitting there annoyed. i understand that it's ridiculous, but that's just me spending way too much time in hotels.

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father

She left me the way people leave a hotel room. a hotel room is a place to be when you are doing something else. of itself it is of no consequence to one's major scheme. a hotel room is convenient. but its convenience is limited to the time you need it while you are in that particular town on that particular business; you hope it is comfortable, but prefer, rather, that it be anoymous. it is not, after all, where you live.

While we were shooting the movie, we shot in the actual hotel in hong kong where it all went down, the mira hotel. laura poitras was coming to hong kong to do a screening of citizenfour, and she ended up staying at the mira hotel. it was her first time back in hong kong, and i ran into her in the elevator. literally i had just finished shooting one day, and i came back to the hotel and she was in the elevator.

When narratives fracture, when words fail, i take consolation from the part of my life that always works: the stationery order. the mail-order stationery people supply every need from royal blue quink to a dazzling variety of portable hard drives.

I can write anywhere. i write in airports. i write on airplanes. i've written in the back seats of taxis. i write in hotel rooms. i love hotel rooms. i just write wherever i am whenever i need to write.

We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe how you had the wrong idea first, and so on. so there isn't any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work, although, there has been in these days, some interest in this kind of thing.

I desire that death find me ready and writing, or if it please christ, praying and intears.

I believed even then that if i could transform my experience into poetry i would give it the value and dignity it did not begin to possess on its own. i thought too that if i could write about it i could come to understand it; i believed that if i could understand my life—or at least the part my work played in it—i could embrace it with some degree of joy, an element conspicuously missing from my life.

As bridget writes to her son, in bridget jones' baby - "if you just keep calm and keep your spirits up, things have a habit of turning out all right, just as they did for me."
