Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's horrible. I can't seem to look away. The TV is reporting smoke bombs but twitterer are saying it's tear gas.

For a little cheer at the end of bad week, I offer Steven Brust's bit of flash fiction, which he refers to as 46% of a drabble.

“But why?” she said. “Why? I can see you’re attracted to me, and I’ve been throwing myself at your head. Why won’t you kiss me?”
“You don’t want me, baby,” he said. “I’m bad news. I’ll just hurt you.”
“Oh,” she said. “Good reason. Okay. Bye.”

Hilariously, I was in bed and asleep before midnight last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We just swapped out! I now remember why I stopped staying up late -- it's not about staying up, but now I've slept til 10, so will have a hard time going to bed early tonight/waking up early tomorrow/etc.

Day-um. I slept for 9.5 hours last night. Haven't done that in a while. Like, a 35 years while.

When I do oversleep -- which isn't often -- it feels like I get my best quality sleep between 6-8 AM, which is just WRONG.

It was great. But now my sense of time is way off. It feels like 9:30 local time, but really it's nearly 11:30. Luckily I have no time-sensitive tasks today. Just getting in a walk, taking the cat out for a bit, and trying these odd gourd things in a zucchini bread recipe.
