Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Coding and Sleeping

She's so delightful by day and such a sleep-sucking tyrant by night.

Oh man that's not fun. Leif wasn't a good sleeper either, though Emaryn was. I remember resorting to crying it out with him. Not fun. I hope it goes smoother than you think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I hope it goes smoother than you think.

Unfortunately, there's the whole "four people in a 2-BR apartment" thing, so I'm thinking probably not. I'd say that we at least need to wait for a Friday night, so I don't have to go in to work the morning after the first ruinous night, but how much worse can it be than it is now?

51 Headless Vikings Found in English Execution Pit?

Naked, beheaded, and tangled, the bodies of 51 young men—their heads stacked neatly to the side—have been found in a thousand-year-old pit in southern England, according to carbon-dating results released earlier this month.

The mass burial took place at a time when the English were battling Viking invaders, say archaeologists who are now trying to verify the identity of the slain.

The dead are thought to have been war captives, possibly Vikings, whose heads were hacked off with swords or axes, according to excavation leader David Score of Oxford Archaeology, an archaeological-services company.

The coolest thing about this article is a section titled "A Mere Flesh Wound"....

I say put Matilda in bed with Emmett. She's a flailer who wants to be in bed with someone, and he, being a (nearly) teenage boy, presumably sleeps the deep and zombie-like sleep of the teenage boy. And they love each other. How could it go wrong?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Loving all the photos, sarameg!

I did get another room right down the hall, and almost immediately went to sleep. Flight this morning went smoothly, and I'm waiting for my luggage and my husband.

Yay HOME.

Yay on new room, home and smooth flight.

Boo on the recent events leading up to it.
