all kinds of gronk. I hate caffeine late yesterday afternoon - very bad. did not got to bed until after 12, did not fall asleep for at least 40 min. Woke up at 2:15. Mac woke me up shortly after 4 from a very bad horrible dream, he did nto get back to sleep for over half an hour. Just in time for the cats to decide that they really needed food and to run laps like crazed fiends around the apartment. Then of course the alarm went off at 6:15, I decided with the bad dream and what with it raining, that I would let mac sleep later, so did not get up or wake him up for 45 more minutes. Of course then mac decides that he wants to go to school breakfast which is 30 minutes earlier than the regular drop-off time, even though we had said that today would be regular drop off. GRR.

I was up at 4:15, originally. Managed to get a little bit more sleep, but not really. Course, came in to crazy, so've been dealing with that.

Also? It's cold. I don't like that.

I'm Miss Mary Sunshine today.

Jon Coulton describes the new fall season, without seeing any of the shows: [link]

(And Aimee's friend sounds awfully woo-woo and suspicious to me, as well. I mean...there's no thimerosal in most all the childhood vaccines now. Though there may be some in the H1N1 vaccines coming this fall. And there's no proof it causes autism at all. But even if they couldn't handle the mercury for some reason...it's not IN the vaccines anymore. So...why not GET them now?)

They don't believe that the vaccines *caused* the autism. Neither of their kids can process metals out of their system. Any metals, not just mercury. Lead, aluminum, copper, iron, etc. including the metals in the air and the metal in needles. The autism has nothing to do with why they haven't vaccinated their son yet. They haven't vaccinated him because of the allergic reation to the shots. They plan on vaccinating him before he starts school, but he's only 10 months old at this point. Their daughter is 2 1/2 and had all of her vaccinations up to 18 months.

I will never tire of Zeppelin based narratives. In Guy Maddin's book of essays he notes he keeps a list of the greatest Zeppelin themed movies.

Hec, you ever see The Assasination Bureau? The Zeppelin only comes in at the end (and sadly, the special effects are painfully of their day), but it's a fun movie.

It's a trap!

OK, a lame joke, but I loves me some Admiral Ackbar.

This is why we can't have nice blimps.

I just tried to talk my minion out of getting a tattoo on her wrist. I told her it's potentially a bad move for job interviews and etc. She pointed out that the people who wouldn't hire her for that probably wouldn't hire her for her locks, either. Fair point?

This is why we can't have nice blimps.

Also why velociraptors should not be allowed to smoke on Zeppelins....
