I somehow thought that the clocks were supposed to be switched tonight. Happily, in this technological age, most of the important clocks (like on my computer) that I'd rely on all switched without my intervention....

I've been looking at my clock on my computer all day and it wasn't until I saw my phone, which hadn't automatically updated for some reason, that I realized it was fall back time. Oh, the pleasures of sleeping for an extra hour while getting the benefit still of waking early.

You know it's time to clean out your refrigerator when you realize the plastic bag you're looking at and wondering "why would I pack dried beef in pickle juice?" contains a tomato.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.
You know it's time to clean out your refrigerator when you realize the plastic bag you're looking at and wondering "why would I pack dried beef in pickle juice?" contains a tomato.I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit.
And, I completely forgot about falling back last night. Err.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was surprised by how many people got Tina Turner without getting the fact it was tied to a movie not titled What's Love Got To Do With It?
Her wigs are pretty identifiable. Sounds like a good time, all the way around.
I got maybe six hours of sleep last night, in spite of the time change. Stupid brain.
I think I got seven. Stupid cat.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The 70s party was pretty fun, despite me being the second-oldest person there.(The oldest person there was the hostess's father. Yipes.) It really should have been called a late-70s/disco party judging by the outfits and the music. There was one guy dressed as Angus Young from AC/DC, which I found clever, and the previously-mentioned father was dressed as Elwood Blues.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I must have stolen everybody's sleep yesterday/last night, since I got another 8, even with all the napping I did.
I'm trying to decide if I want TJ's French toast, a buttermilk biscuit, or a banana pancake and sausage.
The last one sounds the best, but requires getting dressed and going out.
Life is hard.

I just realized the coffee shop will not be open for 10 minutes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My mom's in town for the week, so I gave her my bed and slept on the couch. Not a bad thing (couch is comfortable and I sleep on it all the time), but it meant that when she woke up at her usual oh-my-god-it's-so-fucking-early time this morning and came out to make coffee, I woke up at the first rattle of dishes.
Good thing about her being out is that I cleaned the apartment but good, including cleaning out the fridge. She even commented on how sparkling it is, and advised that I keep it so, which is what I'm going to try and do now.
Damn, she just told me that when I cleaned the tub this morning, I apparently screwed up the faucet so that you can't switch the hot water on--gotta call the office when they open at noon.
