inBack in 2008 we tested 3 banner sizes on one client and the ugliest one won by a mile
That 300x250 probably didn't lose because it was small, it lost because of placement. Banners above the fold in your main content column almost always win, no matter the size. The 728x90 just happened to sit where the eye already goes.

inSerious question, does a really bad writing day help you more than a good one?
Man, does it really have to be that deep? Sometimes a bad writing day is just a bad day and the stuff you crank out the next morning is good because you slept, not because you suffered for it. I wouldn't build some big system around good days versus bad ones, just write when you can and move on.

inBit into a scorpion at a taco stand in Austin and the crunch is still living in my head
Man, I used to laugh at people who freaked out over a little bug in their food. Then I read your post and now I'm never ordering "crispy shrimp" from a taco stand again, that's for sure. The sting usually comes later if it's gonna come at all, so keep the horchata handy for the next few hours.
