Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What msbelle said, plus internet.
Not that I missed it, or am addicted, or anything.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For me, it's gonna be comfy chair, knitting, and DVDs.

I'm about to go out and run errands. After I eat, for the first time today. I've cleaned the apartment, so that's good. I haven't decluttered, but that can wait. I seriously need to do a monster declutter around here.
Still up: laundry, manicure, grocery shop, targetshop.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think, actually, that waking up out of a dead (stages 3-4) sleep is interrupting the sleep cycle -- night terrors, or the really sludgified brain of the shocked-out-of-the-deep.
When you sleep, you go way down deep, then slowly surface, in a 4-stage cycle several times per night. Remembering your dreams is just a sign of your dream cycle occurring in a relatively shallow state of sleep: the upper levels of stage 1, right up close to wakefulness. Lots of people wake up twice or thrice a night (yours truly), and that's reasonably normal, as long as they get enough deep sleep in between wakings-up.
When you say than an exhausted person slept without dreaming, that's usually literally true: the person is charging up on stage 4 sleep, and dreaming is sort of bells-and-whistles compared to that.
Is now the time to bring up the (incredibly rare) prion disease Familial Fatal Insomnia? It's been proved that lack of sleep can be fatal in humans, although the way the disease progresses it's not a "300 hours without sleep!" thing so much as less and less sleep every night for many months, till secondary illnesses and insanity kick in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going with sofa, tv, and pizza I just got delivered. I faked that I ordered in just in case my suitcase got here when I was out (stupid airline), but really it's because I'm lazy.

What is even happening?
Lilly is too cute.

The killing whoozit picture cracks me up every time.
Can you use that dermaglue and then put makeup over it? Someone got between gravity and a cat and is now sporting a slash under my eye. It was a very close call.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Today was Discover I Have No Money day, which led to Going To The Gym Instead Of Shopping day, and later will be See Sweeney Todd On Broadway Night.
And I have Monday off! Woot!
[Oh, and also Watch SGA While Painting My Nails Afternoon. That was fun.]
