there was also a monster in Greek mythology called Echidna
Did they name the little Oz creature after this monster?

Awake.
Do we even have a night shift anymore?
I took half an Ambien a while ago and instead of putting me to sleep like it does 19 out of 20 times, it made me just not care. I am quite relaxed and reading badfic instead. And I don't care. Perhaps I will eventually fall asleep from the ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I woke up with an upset tummy.
How much of a geek am I that I have my iBook lying on my bed, and that when I'm awake at 3:00 a.m. I think, "Well, since I'm awake I might as well see what's going on in Buffistaland"?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not exactly, echidna comes from the Greek for hedgehog, being echinos. (Also the root for echinacea.) The Echidna of Greek mythology was a venomous serpent. It's possible that the people that named the echidna got their translation wrong.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My Powerbook gets stashed next to the bed. When I'm awake, I just grab it like I'd grab a book and check on in...

The laptop lives on the bed here too. It makes posting while you should be sleeping feel like you are multitasking instead of just giving up on the sleep.
There is badfic to be read... Someone should refill the cat's gin dish, the baby Jesus is just parched.

Glad I'm not the only one.
OK, I've played with the cat. Now I shall attempt more sleep.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Definitely not the only one, Tommy.

What is even happening?
Mocking SM2 with Kat and Lori earlier was fun. Flying with a bad tooth was not fun.
Oh, Perkins. I hope you got some rest, and get some quick relief, today.
I have a severe localized allergy to stings, and have done much research to figure out what not to do to keep from getting stung. The next one could cause an anaphylactic reaction...or not. No way of knowing, the doctor said, and I'd really just as soon not find out.
Beverly is me, and so they scare me to death. I'm wondering if stings are more painful for me because of the reactions I get, because they sound like they hurt other people a lot less. Mine will hurt a lot, for much of the first day, like down in the muscle, and then still be sore for a day or more after.
