I think we should all continue to convince Cindy that she won't like the show. Reverse psychology!

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have to give mine back, do I?

Nilly! You poor thing! I did a double take seeing your name. Nilly doesn't post during my nights! What's got you up way too..late? early?
If the floor starts moving or you see cats leaping printer to printer (my two primary sleep deprivation hallucinations,) go lie down, sweets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor all-nighter Nilly!

Liese, your best bet is to ask a couple of neighbors.
Oh! I have neighbors! I can ask them things!

Late.
A research grant report which is due on Sunday.
I've asked the information I need in order to write it back during September, but the people involved figured that, hey, October is far enough, so there's no need to answer me then, they'll just wait until the last minute and be the last to have their information integrated into the whole report. The only problem was, other than 2 people, they all apparently went with this way of thought, and now, well, I'll get to see if I can stay awake. I'm counting on sleeping on shabbat. And on whining as much as humanly possible.
Well, part of it is my fault - yesterday I went to listen to a Neil Gaiman Q&A at the Israeli science fiction convention and didn't do any work at all. But I don't think that even that is enough to rob me of my whining privilages.

You have to give yours to Cindy. But only if she doesn't watch BSG.

Nilly, did you say hi to Neil? I hear he was expecting you.
And lo it is the onset of another migraine. This one I will avert with endorphins. I hope.

Curses!

On the drive homeI heard an advertisement for Nightshade Manor, Memphis' scariest haunted house. If the address (1 mile south of Union on Bellevue) is where I think it is, the place would merit that based on its location alone without the hosts having to place a single cobweb.
On the plus side, anyone that's done enough crack to want to park their car there will be familiar with the neighborhood.

I really wanted to, but it was already 10PM by the time it was finished, and he was rushed out, and for some reason I don't think that saying "he's expecting me to say hello!" would have been believed. Sigh. I really wanted to, or to at least try, you know? Oh, well.
He was so wonderful, I could throw large paragraphs on computer screens, if I didn't have to arrange and sum up papers on "Communication Networks: Topology, Dynamics and Applications".
