I have not had any pie or Pi.
Well, actually the local radio morning how did have a Pi-ku contest where you had to write a haiku about Pi.
I was listening because they promised they would pimp my reading on the air and They Did. (yay!)
I'm hustling JZ and Emmett out of the house to go get a case for the MacBook at the Apple store because I have to take the computer to the bookstore for the reading. I have organized my Tom Waits Related pictures for a pre-reading slideshow, have ripped several useful videos off of YouTube and I still have to finish the music mixes which will be playing before people arrive. The mixes will include bits of storytelling from him, interviews, demos, live clips and (for variety) music by other musicians I discuss in the book (as influences or peers).
ION, Emmett has discovered Friends and we managed to Tivo the episode where they have the quiz for the apartment. (Miss Chanandler Bong). He declares it the best episode ever and we have to concur.
Also, all the Friends quotage around the house ("What do you have against the duck?" "He gets the other one all riled up!") has me thinking of Dana.
"The reasons for the box are threefold."
I saw that episode the other day!
"Fancy, Guest...Fancy Guest..."
I would very much like a nap. I may have to go to the couch in the bathroom and have a quick shut eye over lunch.
This reminds me of the new commercial on Noggin. The whole campaign is "Wouldn't it be great if life were more like preschool?" The latest commercial is "There would be naptime" with a whole office of people napping in their cubicles. Dude, I could so get behind that.
I'm really not a morning person, but I seem to respond very strongly to light so I wake up pretty thoroughly even when I wish I was still sleeping.
I am not a morning person. however, I am also a snooze alarm hater. My body is pretty good about knowing what time I need to get up. DH sets the alarm about half an hour earlier than he needs to get up --but no more snooze alarm. The CD just plays for a while - Which is perfect -drifty, slow wake up. Now that my work schedule is very varied,I can ignore a lot of what used to bug me. Like Matt trying to talk to me when I haven't yet figured out what my toothbrush is for.
Wasn't there a study done recently that showed that people perform better at work if they get to take naps?
What's really nice is if I'm with someone who has to get up earlier than me, just by a little bit. So if they will have their alarm go off, and get up and shower (and I drift back to sleep) and then come wake me up (and not cuddle, cause they're wet from the shower)...that's the best. Sadly, that hasn't happened in a long time.

I think the only person I know who gets up earlier than me is Suzi.
t waggles eyebrows at Suzi
I could so get behind the nap idea. I did not sleep well (or much) last night.

That's definitely one my faves, though I think my favorite is when Rachel and Phoebe find out that Chandler and Monica are doing it, and they try to mess with them, and then Chandler and Monica figure that out, and ad nauseam. I really liked that when the show was firing on all cylinders, they rarely rely on the idiot plot.
Hee. I'd forgotten about the Miss Chanandler Bong episode.
My favorite is when Ross is trying to get the sofa upstairs. "PIVOT! PIVOT!" You can tell the actors are all cracking up. Makes me giggle even to think about it!
