It could be said that the ninjas are fighting. They are fighting THE MAN, and his insistence on DIRECTIONS. Also FLAVOR.
Maybe. Mayyyybeeee.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And the painting the bathroom while on Ambien!
That part totally makes sense, ninjutsu or no.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, the Ambien thing is that the NYT has had several high-profile articles in the past month about Ambien side-effects. E.g.: [link] and [link] It's a little suspicious, the timing, you know? "Oh, and by the way, my wife also has been suffering this recently notorious funny little thing." Also he reported that he would have sex with her while she was on Ambien because she wasn't "ambitious." [w/f for the behaviorally squeamish]

Pretty flower in my pots: [link] (It's something called blue and white aquilegia.)
(nothing to do with ninjas. Though they might find it pretty too!)

For the record, I bitched here about Ambien-induced weird behaviour long before it was trendy.
sarameg, there's no way you've done more mutant ninja turtle research than I have. I mean, I intend to name a daughter after one of them. Would I do that if they weren't mammallian?

How many years of teenage mutant ninja turtle study have YOU put in? Did you have the action figures?
Regarding naming, I put nothing past you.

Did you have the action figures?
Yes, and the ring. And the weapons.
Regarding naming, I put nothing past you.
I am laid low by your distrust, but not low enough to surrender the point.
Although I should really ditch work. It's so quiet in here, and the sun's come out from the stupid rainclouds.

Which weird behavior, though?
My experience with Ambien was that it was kind of psychedelic, but I never acted out while on it, personally.
Also: you are naming your daughter what now?

Which weird behavior, though?
I live alone, so I can't be sure of the extent of it. However, I need to hide all the phones next time I take one, because those conversations are out of control.
I can tell that I've done stuff, not just fallen asleep, by what's left on my TiVo, for instance. I'll watch and delete stuff and have no memory of it at all.
Luckily it gives me leaden legs, so I doubt I'll go anywhere far on them. Plus my new migraine prophylactics make me sleepy enough that I doubt I'll need a sleeping pill ever when I'm on them.
