Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

You could be on to something.

Well, now that I have some coffee in me, as demoralizing as that first q was, the scoreboard doesn't look that bad.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Really, the urge to take a nap is strong just now. But it would be nice to Get Some Stuff Done that doesn't involve driving.

Up, showered, dressed, ate a healthy breakfast (at noon), put more decorations on the tree, cleaned up the kitchen, and now I'm...playing on the computer and watching stupid movies.

co-worker in eastern Washington

My maternal grandfather moved there to join his uncle from western Pennsylvania in the early 20th century. Perhaps my relatives infected the speech patterns there.

That sounds pretty good, Suzi. I haven't really figured out how to approach the day yet - slept for 12 hours last night and haven't entirely woken up, I think. No elves took care of my laundry and dishes while I hibernated, more's the pity.
