Is it wrong that I h aven't read anything by Jame Tiptree, Jr that I can recall?

I think I got that quiz wrong.

Also, Mickey Spillane is a science fictioni writer? Is that in an alternative universe?

And - I watched the men's final live! And it was great -- but I was hoping for me. I really thought that Gonzo and Federer were going to go the distance because they seemed so well matched in the first set. But then - I mean, I feel that it may be overwrought to say that Gonzo fell apart in the 2nd set but whatever he was doing in the first set either stopped working or he stopped doing it.

So, post tennis I went back to bed and slept for another 5 hours. This means that by going to bed early, getting up at 2 and staying up for 3.5 hours and then going back to bed -- I got MORE sleep than I do when I go to bed and get up at my regular hour. That seems wrong, doesn't it?

Also, I was pleased to see who had won the Men's and Women's National titles in skating. Both skaters that I liked when I last saw them on tv. . . which was probably at the Olympics because I am not a faithful follower of figure skating.

oof. After waking briefly at 7:00, I went back to sleep with a vengenance, and am only now contemplating coffee and breakfast before tackling the hellhole that is my apartment. Hooray Sundays!

How have I never watched Nigella Lawson before? I love this. The stuff she's making looks so good and so fast, and she does things like taste the sauce by dipping the handle of the spoon into it and sucking it off. You don't see Ina Garten doing that shit.

I found one of my soc. sec. cards! No idea where the other one is though...

I am an expert in this.

It's trying to snow. Bleck. Better not get worse, I've got stuff to do and don't relish dealing with other drivers freaking the hell out over a few flakes.

I am more an expert on the power nap, usually.

Bad snow.

My back is not being nice to me. (It's been a little touchy since approximately Friday but today - very ouchy.) I have taken a muscle relaxant and am hoping for the best.

It's rare for me to not go back to bed and sleep to an appallingly late hour on the weekends. OTOH, I tend to stay up appallingly late, so I'm sure that's part of it.

Of course, since I have to return to rest-of-the-world's schedule sunday night, it means sundays are kind of a waste.

Yep, me too. Remembering to go to bed =hard.

I am only a casual watcher of tennis and Tivoed the Mne's Final to watch this morning. That was some fantastic tennis.

I don't know if Gonzo fell apart or Federer just relaxed like whatsername said and hit his stride. Some of those points were just amazing on both sides of the net.

I had to reschedule today's tea b/c DH and I both have unhappy tummies, probably from eating too much yesterday - eggs benedict and then chicken and rice, and later more chicken and rice and then chocolate cake. Was pleasantly satiated yesterday, but it's not so pleasant today. Ugh. I hope it's just too much food and not something evil happening to the chicken while the power was out.

I hope the Tea Parlor doesn't hold it against me. The woman handling reservations sounded put out.

She may not realize it, but better put out than puked on!

Hope you feel better soon.
