Ugh, up 28 hours. Jeez. What the HELL did my body DO to those 15 mgs of Ambien? Throw it out my ear canal? Use it to throw a paramecium party? The stuff is insomnia GOLD. I can't figure what happened.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Clearly your immune system has identified the Ambien as an invader, and is flooding your body with antisleepies.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yeah, I'd say treat it like jetlag and try to stay up until the evening.
My math quibble was that Charlie seems to be able to just pull out stuff from practically every field of math -- most mathematicians will have a basic knowledge of a few fields, but will only have that level of familiarity with the particular field they specialize in.
Fair enough - but in their favour they have tried to make the point that he is a freakish prodigy brainiac, rather than a normal mathematician - graduating from High School when he was 13 and all that. Alan says, iirc, that he could multiply 4-digit numbers in his head when he was 4 years old - they don't make a massive deal of this, but it does crop up from time to time. (If anything, I think I actually find him a little too good with people, and too quick with an accessible math metaphor to explain the high concepts to the mathematically challenged - it would be more plausible for him to be very socially inept, really, if he's this uber genius child prodigy person. But that's what they tried in the original unaired pilot, and, frankly, I prefer the more shaggable version of the character. Because I am shallow, and I prefer Krumholtz's pocket-sized puppy-eyed tousled-Xander look to the more uptight Rainman-ish incarnation.)

It is NOT allowed to do that! Ambien is the only thing I have found that allows me consistent sleep without a gronky hangover the next day.
As a teacher with chronic insomnia, I NEED it to work!
Oh, well. Right now, I am looking at teacher-shoes for the fall.

I totally get this. If you continue to have trouble, I'd really talk to your doctor.
Oh, well. Right now, I am looking at teacher-shoes for the fall.
Now that sounds fun!

ION, for the last two days, I've been singing, "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story. Only, I've been changing "pretty" to "stupid" and going from there. This morning I realized I no longer remembered the original words. I had to ask Emily (who now has it stuck in her head...poor thing!).
So, now I'm trying to replace them with the original. 'Cause really, going around singing, "I feel stupid, oh so stupid..." really not the most helpful thing, I'm thinking.

Really not. Try this one instead: "I am so smart, I am so smart, S M R T, I mean S M A R T..."

Thrive to spite them
On So you think you can dance -- the cabbage face girl is Heidi. She's a good dancer saddled with a partner who doesn't really want to be her partner. When they showed the first meet of the pairings for the most part there was lots of jumping up and down and screaming in happiness.
Heidi's partner really wanted another girl (he has a crush on her I think) and when Heidi opened the door he just completely shut down and visibly looked disappointed and later it showed him sulking.

I like to think of Charlie as being a good teaching mathematician--yes, he's got that genius quality of being able to pull from all fields of math, but more importantly, explain these concepts in terms the non-math folks (and FBI agents) can understand.
DH has managed to explain string theory to me better than anyone else so I can actually think about it rather than have my head explode and he's neither a quantum physicist or a theoretical mathematician.
Gah. Couldn't sleep last night and the girl decides to wake up at 5:30. All your gronk are belong to me. The instant coffee actually tastes good to me today--with enough cream & sugar.
