I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

It will be snipped and put up on youtube, right? I don't have to worry?

It won't be 30 feet tall with Dolby Surround Sound on Youtube.

I don't have the Fitbit, but my Electric Sleep app tracks if you're rolling around or whatnot.

How? How does it track your time asleep?

...magic?

It's got a 3D motion sensor. I guess if you stare at the ceiling and don't twitch a muscle while you're trying to fall asleep, it may not track your time asleep that accurately.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

-t, YES, I plotzed over that tee a day or so ago!!! And I burbled and dragged DH to the computer, hollering "Want, take, have! Birthday in two months! Me, me, me!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jennifer Love Hewitt is on Conan talking about vajazzling.

I had forgotten that was a THING. She brought out one of the stickers she uses. It was a sparkly peace sign. She said a lot of women do it.

I do not do it. Can't imagine doing it. But my feet aren't yet summer ready.

I think if I vajazzled, my DH would experience instant boner-loss from laughing so hard.

but what if you move around in your sleep?

How? How does it track your time asleep?

Jilli asks what I was going to ask.

Yeah, no good for me then. I mean, I am *trying* to fall asleep after all, so usually lying there pretty quiet. But I turn in bed a lot, whether I'm asleep or awake.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would assume that the developers (if they are worth their salt) programmed it to deal with people's actual physical movement patterns while sleeping, rather than assuming that people lie still. I could be wrong, of course, because I sometimes forget how stupid people can be.

I may be overly cynical at the moment.

I'm reading an article for a class project. It was assigned by a faculty member. It is not...good. Like, I am making grammatical marks (and that's ignoring the nigh-unreadable style). I was hoping that it had been written by a student. Looks like not so much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think that's kinda the point, that if you're tossing a lot in your sleep, you're not getting deep sleep, maybe? When it fails for me is when I lie still reading before falling asleep, but once asleep, it's pretty accurate. I can set its (my app) sensitivity to calibrate it to how I move.
