I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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

I'm not quite sure how to say this without it potentially sounding rude (damn written communication), but, quick work there, bt! Seriously, I know a lot of people who've tried to get back to dating after a marriage and have gone years without having a date, much less meeting somebody that makes them all schmoopy. You should be all impressed with yourself. And Wally. Wally did his part.

t arches eyebrow Lucky Wally.

Yeah, it's true. I can't believe how quickly I've got here. From when Bec and I broke up, from when I started dating again, from when I first met AS. Three weeks ago, I had no knowledge of her existence. Now we've compared retirement plans.

What? We're actuaries.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I too must express my begogglement at billytea's extremely effective movement into new and exciting intimacy. Very impressive.

Much -ma to tiggy-kin. Burns are nothing to trifle with as the humans and fire have a very tentative co-relation. Pain-ease to yours.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think the white sudafed might have been a bad idea, since I feel miles away from tired.

If it makes you feel better, I have horrible insomnia tonight. (It's 3 a.m. in Ohio, and I still haven't fallen asleep. I'm watching Adult Swim and eating a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds, in the hopes that they're dusted with Ambien or something.)

Mmmm, I was just watching "X - The Unheard Music" yesterday. "4 O'Clock in Venice..." - it's pretty clear they're talking about a.m.

I'm all bug-eyed and resentful at my awakeness. As much as I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I'd much rather be asleep, dang it.

Oh, yuck. Hope you fall asleep soon. My recent experience suggests that reading up on exposed-to-risk is effective.

tiggy, I hope everyone recovers well. That's seriously scary stuff.

I recommend drugs, orgasms and alcohol. All sleep inducing. See if you can bundle them all together into one pretty package. But don't miss your hair appointment tomorrow with a hangover.

Already tried 2 of the 3. And yet here I am, all bug-eyed and awake.

I have ATHF vols 1-3. In theory, I have Jon Stewart's DVD on its way to me too. It might even have arrived today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Much healing-ma to tiggy's family.

I'm still not sure what's happening with my day. Stove is supposed to be delivered between 12 and 3, which is not what I thought would happen -- somehow I had "before noon" entered in my memory bank. Which makes it awkward to have someone here, to say the least. Maybe I'll have to stay home... I think I have enough work to keep me busy on my laptop here. SIGH.
