Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

A little after 9:30 sounds fine to me. Hec is off fetching Emmett so he can't voice an opinion, but IIRC neither of us has slept in past 8:30 in the past couple of weeks (well, I did sleep until 2:30 one day, but I was fighting off a cold; I'm pleased to say I slept that little bastard to death and am now just fine and an 8:30 riser again).

I was going to leave my place about 9:30, so I probably wouldn't get there until about 10:15 or 10:30.

Also, received your gmail and shall obey.

Very good.

Friends aren't coming, boo, so cleaning isn't happening, yay.

Now I just have to decide what DVD I'm going to fall asleep during.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wonder if that new TJ's they're building near my office has opened yet...

Say do what?? There's gonna be a TJ's here?

The evil demons that will eat Devi have left and she's being really cuddly.

Kids just freak.her.out. I guess it is because they tend to move faster and more randomly than adults, but sheesh.

OK, I cannot deal with the movie How to Eat Fried Worms. I read the book when I was a kid, fine. I probably maybe could still. But the visuals just set off my gag reflexes. When I saw the trailer in the theater, I had to close my eyes and plug my ears and hum else I lose my lunch. An ad just came on and I spend several eyewatering moments over the toilet. Didn't lose dinner, but it was close.

When did my system get so reactive?

Now tagless for your comfort.

When you stopped being 12? I'm having the same reactions to the trailers. I wouldn't have blinked at that stuff when I was a kid.

I think I threw up three times (not counting spitup, and I can tell you what it was each time) until my late 20s or so. Then suddenly I got a nasty gag reflex to imagery/ideas. I'm worse in the morning. Thinking of an upset stomach will set me off. OTOH, I can eat stuff that food poisons others and I don't get ill. I don't get it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still don't have my Cartoon Network. However, Adult Swim makes some shows available as streaming video a few days before they're broadcast, so I can go here [link] and watch Sunday's Venture Brothers episode, like, right now.

Yay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds ... unpleasant, sara.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

sara, I had the same reaction to the trailer. Not quite as violent, maybe, but...yeah.
