dude, we are so like almost exactly the same person.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmmm. Googling the hypnagogic myoclonus was interesting--mentions of serotonin (also implied in migraines and anti-Ds deployed to treat them) and muscle fatigue (you have no idea how much mush my legs are right now) stood out the most.
I'll just have to cross my fingers I don't hit anything with corners.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Preliminary ratings information show that Path to 9/11 was not only trounced by Sunday Night Football, it only managed to tie a rerun of a CBS documentary about 9/11.
It was Manning v. Manning--and it kicked ASS, plus, opening song by Pink! Go Colts! I'm pretty sure Monday Night Football will not be interrupted by the presidential speech--it's on ESPN. Guess what we're watching tonight?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's true.

Does anyone else twitch in their half-sleep? I'm noticing that when I nap in my car I can twitch enough to wake me up from almost slumber.
yes, sometimes. It happens when I'm in bed, but only when I'm awake enough to notice it. Which means that it could happen while I'm asleep, but I sleep through it, I suppose.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
El presidente has been clueless about the needs of television before. Remember last fall, when he did a speech during Sweeps? On a Thursday? On the half-hour, which meant he broke two timeslots instead of just one?
I like to think the networks beat him over the head after that, but I suspect they rolled over and said, "Yeah, George! Okay, George! And after that, can we go chase some sticks, George? Yeah? Huh? Okay?"

I like The Straight Dope's explanation of hypnagogic myoclonus -- he says that it may also happen in relation to vaguely perceived noises in a delayed reaction. It's possible that you're hearing different sounds in the car rather than in your bedroom, I suppose.
One thing that I've noticed with my own falling-asleep-twitching is that it's a lot more likely to happen to me if I've had a major fall or almost-fall that day, as though my nervous system is trying to revisit it.
