OK, anyone want to lay bets on what the Friday Cephalopod will be? (Octopus, squid or other.) I'm gonna say octopus.

Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Cuttlefish. The most Cthulhu-like of all the cephalopods.
Oh, and I meant to say, we're in NYC this year. We'll be in Bellport on Friday, but possibly in the city on Saturday and defintely on Sunday - church, you know, at First Pres at 5th Ave and 12th. So I'd love to see folks who might be in town/in the area if we can swing it.
Oh drat! I just realized that leaving San Diego means that Thanksgiving is a total crap shoot this year. My aunt and uncle not only saved me from the other side of the family but aunt always cooked some of the stuffing, out of the bird with no celery for me. I love her for that.
Seriously, anyone who want company, but no big TO-DO is welcome to come to my place. Well, really only if you are willing to deal with my stressy packing and possibly help with last-minute stuff. But there will be pie and parade watching and football and dips and chips.
I don't understand how people go out during the week!
Aha... this is why I... don't. Or when I do, I make damn sure the plans are worth the fatigue.
Bah. I am so tired. Plus gravity is extra-strong today.
I went to bed early, but then woke up at 3:00 am and couldn't sleep. The internet was down, so I rewatched last week's BSG. Then I had weird BSG dreams once I got back to sleep.
I think I also kept having dreams about waking up last night. That didn't help any.
We now have reservations for our last 3 nights in Africa. It is a start. I just balked at booking for the night we arrive. AT 3:30AM!!! because it was the uber expensive place and was gonna be over $400 a night. I just cannot stomach that. That would sponsor a child for almost 2 years to stay with their family rather than coming to the orphanage. yeah, can't do that.
I also dreamt that for some reason I was living in a dorm (even though I still had my current job and was not in school). I wanted to sleep but my roomate was there with some other guys from the dorm. And they could all see what a slob I was, so I started picking up stuff. And then they let my cat out - he went to chase the cats that were hanging out in the dorm hallway. All the time this was going on, I was thinking, "Why did I decide to live here?"
