"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Me, I don't want to know. I think that if I don't know that I only got 4 hours of sleep (or whatever), I can power through it and convince myself I'm only a little tired.

It wasn't scary oddly enough, it was annoying. I just kept getting annoyed each time we had to kill someone else because it was tiring and messy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

do you look at the clock to see how much sleep you're not getting, or do you not want to know?

I used to not want to know, but nowadays I make a decision--no matter how awake I feel, if it's before 4, I stay in bed. Sometimes if it's after 4 I get up and start doing stuff.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I pretty much always know what time it is. It's a thing.

hip deep in pie

Looking at the time when I can't fall asleep gets me more worked up about being unable to fall asleep. But if I wake up in the middle of the night, I automatically check the clock.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, be glad you're not a starling.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The Texas board also rejected a proposal to include more Hispanic people in the history books. Because the only history that counts is white Anglos.

This is so that they can keep believing that Hispanics are "invading Texas," conveniently forgetting who was here first.

Dear Texas,

In July you'll be getting one more liberal. Our numbers are growing.

Dude, if God wanted Texas to be Hispanic, he wouldn't have written the Bible in English.

Rebelling Against the Commonly Evasive Feminine Care Ad

A COMMERCIAL for U by Kotex, a new line from the 90-year-old feminine care brand, opens with an actress in her early 20s who says, “How do I feel about my period? I love it.”

She continues, “Sometimes I just want to run on a beach,” as footage shows a woman running along the shore. “Usually, by the third day, I really just want to dance,” she says, to footage of women dancing ecstatically. As blue liquid is poured on a pad in another clip, she concludes, “The ads on TV are really helpful because they use that blue liquid, and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s what’s supposed to happen.’ ”

The spot, by the New York office of JWT, which is a part of WPP, closes with the text, “Why are tampon ads so ridiculous?” along with the campaign tagline, “Break the cycle,” before finally showing the new line of tampons, pads and liners. The commercial was scheduled to appear on television for the first time Monday.
