I just needed my brain to quiet down... time to try again
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Thoughts:
This time of year always feels like New Year to me. So does Spring, vernal equinox time. Therefore, my year now contains two years: Death Year, starting around Halloween/Day of the Dead, and Birth Year, starting at the vernal equinox. Birth year is longer, but that's fine.
New Year in January is just silly.
It is morally wrong to eat just the filling from an Oreo cookie and throw the bitter cookie part away. You must eat the bitter with the sweet. It's wrong in the same way to eat just the center of the brie and throw the rind away.

cereal: Good night again, beth. I won't even point out that you were up at 3:30, not 4:30.

Hi Raq! Do they turn back the clocks in Greece, too?
I have to go around this morning and fix up all the non-computer-y clocks in the house. If I waited for The Roommate to do it, I might as well wait for Spring Forward to fix it all.

Timelies! The time change means I've been awake since 4, not 5. Sigh.

Yep, time change happened today here also. Which means I actually got enough sleep, and got up early enough to hear the church bells.

The extra hour thing is nice.
I got most of the clocks changed. My Sony Dream Machine cd/radio/alarm clock actually has a DST button, which most of the year I look at in disgust but actually turns out to be really handy twice a year. And my new Palm (Zire 72s) not only changed on its own, but it gave me a nice little message telling me that it had.

Oh, so the clocks were turned tonight? Good to know.
In Israel they were turned 3 weeks ago (right before Yom Kippur. The fast lasts for 25 hours, from the sunset to the following day's evening. When the clock is turned, it gets dark in an earlier hour, and therefore it makes the fast somewhat easier, even though it still lasts the same amount of time). It was very confusing for me to think that I know the time difference, and then to have to re-do it because of the yes/no turning of the clocks. For some reason, that one hour that's taken and brought back is one of the most confusing things in the whole wide world.

Ooh, new natter, and Nilly. Fun!
