It is totally Jilli's fault that I read this as holding Mikey Way in the palm of your hand. Jeebus.
Yeah! Jilli's fault!
Is it also Jilli's fault that I'm mixing that up with the old M&Ms commercial? Because I am.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It is totally Jilli's fault that I read this as holding Mikey Way in the palm of your hand. Jeebus.It is. And then I wonder why it's two words and not the Mikeyway that I expect to see. *facepalm*
Thank you, Jilli!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Ugh! Woke up achey and hurty (mostly my hands and arms) so I decided I might as well get up. The cats are all confused, and then there's the DST thing to make it even more so.
However, I'll still be happy when the sun sets at 6:44 PM tonight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A co-worker of mine mentioned an article she read recently about how DST costs us millions of dollars in lost productivity every year, farmers HATE it, and the whole thing is actually all the fault of the golf lobby. (Er, and not the GILF lobby as I originally typed.)
No idea if it's true (as I can't remember where she said she read it - could have been WSJ, could have been USWeekly), but good lord do I hate springing forward.
Dylan is a full-on sicky-boo this morning. Hopefully he'll be able to sleep in his stroller while DH and I scope out places for his 30th birthday party. (DH's. Not Dylan's.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
the whole thing is actually all the fault of the golf lobby
Or the military/industrial/golf complex.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I love DST. I love having daylight when I am actually awake, which I never really am on the sunrise side. It does not, however, save energy, unless you are doing your work outside on a laptop charged with solar cells.
There's a lovely op-ed paean to Gary Gygax and geekdom in the NY Times: [link]

I'm with Ginger; I love Daylight Savings Time. It's how I get over my winter blahs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, poll: how far back can you bend your fingers.
About 90 degrees. Oddly, I put a little effort into maintaining this flexibility. More than the rest of my joints, anyway.
I will reserve judgement in DST this year until I am waking up tomorrow morning.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am ALL ABOUT Daylight Savings Time. We get more sunlight at the end of the day!
Although I fully admit that getting up for work tomorrow is going to SUCK even more than usual.

Art Crawl!!!
Anyone know when Dawn is tomorrow?
I hate waking up in the dark.
I'm so happy that the Scientist beat the Mad Dairy Guy. Although it was close. But I feel my braving the icy sidewalks was worth it.
