Nilly! I'm sorry about your all nighter, which sucks, but glad to see you here.

Skipping to say Yay

I don't like washing pots. Scrubbing grease and baked on stuff--yuck.

Reason #1 to have a dog. Evolution has built her to clean nasty pots and she has a blast doing it. Then I give a scrubby-dub with the Dawn and its done.

Totally.

sara, could we have this conversation again, soon, on a time in which I could actually participate, instead of wishing my fingers to figure out what my brain probably thinkgs but is too involved in explaining to me about the whole sleep thing to bothe phrasing? It's really interesting, and I don't want to waste it on comments like 'yeah" and "oh", you know?

Lee! I may cave in and go to sleep. If I still have a hard time figuring out the order of the ABC (I'm arranging a few dozens of references right now, and at first I typed ABS, which I think means I really indeed can't tell the letters of the ABC apart, doesn't it?). But I'm here on time to wish you a great vacation, at least, right?

[Edit: hey, the digits in my post # are in order, unlike, well, pretty much anything else, if you ask my brain. Silly brain, listen to the numbers!]

I vote for sleep, if you can, Nilly.

Thanks for the vacation wishes!

Oh, and President Bush flew over me today. At least I think so. I was getting off the L when I saw two big military choppers and a bigger Chinook chopper fly overhead - apparantly heading towards O'Hare from downtown Chicago. (eta: Bush was in Chicago today.)

Once Bill and Hillary flew over me too.

Live TV is weird. It stops the show right in the middle to show these other little shows that are, like, total non-sequiturs and only about 30 seconds long and really anvilly. And it doesn't let me fast forward past them.

The sky is beginning to do a sort of "hmm, maybe black isn't my color after all" sort of thing, an "um, maybe blue is the new black?" accompanied by "this blue?" and "maybe that blue?" and a tiny bit of "oh, other colors!".

Yeah. How did cavepeople actually survive without TiVos for their television?

"oh, other colors!"

Sometimes, if you're lucky, it does this.

Oh, my, dcp, that's gorgeous.

We don't have a single cloud in the sky here (a scorcher, again, they say), so that is especially lovely, since I hadn't seen these kinds of colors for a while up there.

And with that, I'm logging off. I have to go by the apartment, and later will be back here. Wanna place bets on whether I sleep or not? And if I do, for how long? And if I don't, how many minutes before I break anything? Oh, and there should be a bonus question there, too, only I can't think of one right now because if I do, the first thing I'll break will probably be my swindling imagination.

Night, all, I guess, right?
