Raq, if you still want to tag that line, feel free! Sorry to answer you so much later; I've been away.

Trying to catch up now...

OK, where does "I'll cut you" come from?? I've seen it, I've used it, I've loved it, but...I've utterly lost the source.

Good morning. Um. Afternoon. I got up at 4pm. Which means I completely missed the lovely day out, except really from about 11AM-4PM, I was waking up and going "mmm, daylight. boo, people making noise outside" with my windows open (SO NICE!).

I love having my windows open. Sigh. Yay spring!

Now to figure out what to do this evening. I may have had an invite last night from this girl I've been hitting on (however, I was supposed to email her my phone number, which I only just did a few minutes ago, so she might not get it in time). I'm a little confused by her. She's receptive and flirty, and saying "you're so much fun to dance with, there's this thing tomorrow at the Black Cat...". Yet...I'm not getting a "I wanna make otu with you" impression. Mostly. I kinda started flirting with her because last weekend, we were at this celebration, and out of nowhere, she turned around, looked at me with an evil sexy glint in her eye, and made me eat a forkful of a rose icing off the cake...and then kissed me. WTF?? I'm so confused.

{{vw}} Wishing you naptime and freedom from any kind of pain or itchies. Yuck.

Raq, I would so love to go to Tuscany, but not in August, unfortunately. OTOH, first grandchild is due in August and visiting must happen. I will wish everyone who does go much fun and frolic.

MG, I just found out my cousin is a huge A's fan from when he lived in SF. How's about that?

I refuse to believe there's any such thing as an early-morning perky man, all y'all's "stories" to the contrary. I never met any such men, ever, throughout my dating career, and Lord knows I'm not married to one now. Long, long ago Hec made a rule that I wasn't allowed to talk to him until after his first cup of coffee. Not that he's capable of enforcing it, what with the early-morning coma, but I am now considerate enough to wait to start talking at him until I've brought in that first cup. Then I perch on the edge of the bed and chatter away.

I really have no idea why he hasn't yet either smothered me with a pillow or run screaming into the night (or the dawn).

I'm thinking it's because you're really hawt.

My family all knew not to talk to me in the morning

My family never learned

no energy. no ablity to figure out if if the feet are on the floor. and pillows, are for sleeping.

my father sings in the morning. except no one in my family actually does anything close to singing , ever.

I'm not a morning person. But if I'd just gotten into a relationship with someone I liked, I'm sure I'd wake up perky. I'd be so damned happy just to wake up and have someone snuggly nearby.

ION, the wind is really whipping around. There's a tarp on the backside of the house and it keeps making noises. And something sounds like it just dropped in the basement. My phone line is dead for reasons I haven't been able to figure out (which means my DSL is dead...I'm surfing off the neighbor's wifi). It's probably going to be another spooky night tonight.

I don't have comas in the morning, but it *does* take me a minute...Mom tends to want to talk to me about stuff involving decisions and I'm like "Mom, I've only been conscious for five minutes. Chill."

Not sure of the original source, but it does seem to crop up from Sin City to Family Guy and a few places in between.

It even shows up in Predator:

Bill Duke in Predator

"You're ghosting us mutha fucker! I don't care who you are back in the world, but you give away our position one more time, I'll cut you! real bad! leave you here! You got that?"

ETA: And yeah, I have the feeling that somewhere, recently I've seen a show, or a clip where someone did it deadpan in response to some thing said by another person.

I can imagine me saying some incredibly bad pun, and Andi looking at me and saying, "I'll cut you."

I'm very much dazed the first hour or so after I get up. I do sing to the children in the morning though. If I have to be up at that hour they should suffer too.

DH rolls out of bed and goes directly into the shower. He's all alert and stuff. It doesn't bug me because I'm in too much of a fog to care.
