sj, thanks! Also, it's already the weekend here, and from Friday evening to Saturday evening, because of religious reasons, I don't work, so I plan on lots of sleep (which I'll probably need on Saturday night, but I'm totally not going to think about it now).

How are you doing, by the way? It's been quite a while since I posted with you.

I think two hours when it's already getting light out still counts as an all-nighter.

But my lips don't feel like they're made of lead and my fingers don't feel like noodles whi weigh a ton each and therefore can't align themselves and my eyelids don't need constant convincing to stay up.

In Hebrew there's an expression for an all-nighter - "white night". Maybe what I had was an off-white night, or a baige night? Hmm.

What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, Cashmere!!!

Happy Birthday, Matt!!!

Happy Birthday, megan walker!!!

Nilly, I'm glad the two hours worked wonders for you. I was catching up on the thread, and trying to remember the last time I had to stay up, then tried to remember the last time I had to stay up for a reason other than tending to a sick child or hungry/fussy baby (since both reasons do allow for a bit of lying around, the next day). All I could remember is how tired I would be. Once in a while though, I would get that elusive second wind, and feel much better than expected.

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

Oh oh. Now I hates BSG and will devote my life to seeing it wiped from the schedule and your minds. Mwahahahaha.

It's funny, for a few years, Buffy and Angel were the only shows we watched with any actual interest, and were the only shows we worried about missing. If Scott hadn't wanted to give 24 a try, I think there would have been a season where we watched nothing. This year, we're television addicts. I kind of don't like it. It's too much. I have all these stories swirling around in my head.

Jericho is making me doubt any taste I thought I had. I'm ridiculously interested in it, even though when I look at it, it's chocked full of flaws that should make me hate it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Happy birthday to all three of you!

It's amazing, isn't it Nilly, how sometimes running on the tiniest bit of sleep can get you going better than a full night of well-rested sleep can.

It's the combination of the two hours and the necessity to have a short day today, followed by lots of rest for 24 hours.

how sometimes running on the tiniest bit of sleep can get you going better than a full night of well-rested sleep can.

One of my roommates is amazing with that. She can lie down for 10 or 15 minutes, nothing longer than that, and get up after them all rested and refreshed and as if she caught up on a whole night's sleep. Usually, that never works for me.

Oh, and I know that I'm tired because I'm speaking a bit faster than usual, but remembering the words I need in order to express myself a little slower than usual. It makes for a strange effect.

Hmmm... good I checked the weather report before leaving the house. It's only 45 (6C) out there, and should get down into the upper 30s this evening!

I guess it's time for the ritual donning of the jacket....

Because books.

Happy birthday, Matt! I hope there's more cake for you today, somewhere.
