i've gotten to 7 and the music annoys me. I could turn it off, I suppose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to pay attention to the numbers of the questions. The one with the clock face with the symbols at 12, 3, 6, and 9 cracked my ass up. And I skipped the one that's 24-7=?, but I should probably work out what the answer is and save the skip for something else.
The music is atrocious, and you have to re-turn it off every time you start again. Bad quizmaker! Bad bad quizmaker!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got as far as 30 I think skipping one or two (after many many restarts), but it is not worth staying up for.

Hey, I'm in New Mexico, too. Hi, ita's mother! Hope all is well.
We're on vacation, whoo! I love my SO so much. This was his suggestion.
We were originally supposed to have a free timeshare week sometime around this time, but it fell through with scheduling. And we'd gotten crazy busy with the end of the summer, even without building a house yet. So we're getting ready to start back at school this week. He'd popped into my office one day and said, "Let's go to Albuquerque. We can use our free hotel points and bring our own food. We can go to the butterfly pavilion at the botanical garden and hang out at the aquarium. It'll just cost us gas and ticket prices, and we can gain some sanity before we start back in."
I looked at him, and said, "Sure." So here we are! We smuggled a little indoor grill into the hotel room (already equipped with wifi, microwave, fridge and two tvs) and had bratwurst and chips for supper. Tomorrow we're having fajitas (that I made this morning and brought in our cooler). Tomorrow we'll do the garden & aquarium for $7. We're still deciding if we want to stump up the extra $5 for the zoo (spider monkeys!) because the free train between the two isn't running on Mondays. If we don't, we can go to Petroglyph National Monument (free) or to pick raspberries or to the planetarium. We're only here a few days, but I already feel relaxed and happy. I think this was just the ticket!
Yay, vacation!

I am going to be working on a document all night. I hope some of you plan to be here to entertain me when I need to take a break.
I'll be writing on my Dan Hicks article into the wee hours. We should take a 3am coffee break.

Okay, your topic is way more interesting than mine (unless you find Medicare data access fascinating)!
Are we taking the breat at 3am your time or mine?
And why was it so much easier to stay up all night while I was drunk in Vegas? (oh, wait, I know the answer, I was drunk in Vegas).
Anyway, I think I'm going to take an ice cream and Dr. Who break in a bit.

And I adore Albuquerque. My uncle and uncle-in-law used to live there.

Yeah, I know not everyone loves it, but we like it. It has the right combination of attractions, natural stuff, shopping, and not terrible traffic. Also, I can drive to it for a few days without worrying about it. We do have some friends here (supporters) we're going to have to avoid, though. It's a secret we're here. Don't tell!
