My brain is stuffed full of gronk. But at least I didn't get woken up by an earthquake.

Arrived at work to a bunch of panicky emails from our biggest client. But my boss, who currently is at our client's London office, had already fixed things. Hooray for London currently being five hours ahead!

It's currently four hours.

It's currently four hours.

Not in Tommyrot's time zone.

Now I'm imagining all the Buffistas with big clocks set around their room labeled Chicago, Tel Aviv, Paris, London, Tokyo.

Oh, right.

I envy Drew his ability to wake up, mutter "earthquake," and fall back asleep. Also, I apparently cricked my neck when the bed jumped, and it hurts. And I have to get up in 90 minutes. And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. Being woken up on little sleep makes me 3.

The couple we have had since my move made me nauseated for most of the next day.

plaid is not red, but it doesn't matter anyway

I'm just really curious as to what that means.

This was one of many things the defense threw into her closing (having presented no defense). She kept harping on the fact that the only 911 call to describe the defendent mentioned a plaid shirt but (duh, duh, duh) the defendent was arrested wearing a red sweatshirt. Of course, he had left the scene, and then come back and hid from the police on a construction site, and the prosecution had three eyewitnesses IDing the defendent, but plaid's not red you must acquit!

Her basic argument was, they caught the wrong guy (here's 50 million bizarre reasons why), but, by the way, he wasn't driving under the influence.

Sadly, even after we had decided that he was the driver and he was guilty of DUI and intimidating witnesses, one older woman would periodically say things like, what about the plaid? what about the keys?

I think this bit may be the worst.

- Thomas Jefferson no longer included among writers influencing the nation’s intellectual origins.

Yeah. Possibly because he was a Deist....

The gronk is thick and mighty here as well. We're still in the process of getting Mooshu's blood sugar back under control after the Week O'Vet. This means that he is likely to wake up at 4:30 in the morning (like he did this morning) and want to a) drink copious amounts of water, b) go take a wonder whizz and c) drink more copious amounts of water.

Which then translates into two hours later, wanting to repeat the same thing. Not such a big deal, since I have to be up at 6:45 anyhow, but cranky-making when I didn't sleep well and had the 4:30AM interruption.

I hope there will be a nap in my future. Not betting on it, though.

Coffee gud.
