What's the upside for spooky lullabies? I just heard [link] and I'm quite perplexed. And it's not like rock-a-bye-baby is full of cheer and promise for a new world.

Last night's dreams were...at first I was just reporting crimes to Hill Street Blues, and then I was a cop who shot rather a lot of people, and then I went underground in the Jamaican mafia, pretending to be a 34 year old woman with a son--I hooked up with multiple shady organisations, and dated both dodgy men and women before my sister almost blew my cover. And then I ended up in Jamaica, still shady as fuck.

Jesse, I think I am going to die. I don't get the excuses, but I get the "hey" all the time, so it makes me laugh.

ita- that lullaby is the spookiest thing ever. All I can think of is maybe children used to die so frequently, their parents thought of them like ghosts?

Ha, that strikes me as the kind of lullaby designed to keep your kid in bed during the night instead of getting up constantly.

One of the upper managers for my parent company just sent an email for his school committee to the entire Tech Support department. Then had to send an apology and "It'll never happen again."

Schadenfreude. So nice to see it happening to bigwigs as well.

They give fledgeling goths a starting point? I dunno, but I love them. I think need a mix of nothing but spooky, creepy lullabies.

That lullaby was creepier than some horror movies I've seen.

I am bummed that I'm at work and can't listen to the creepy lullaby until I get home because, like Jilli, I love them.

For Hil, Burrell, and other professory types:

That just about covers it. But I tend to assume any emails about ill/dying/dead relatives or about necessary court dates are completely legitimate.

I've decided that I'm wearing all my cute dresses this week while the weather holds so I can fake it until I make it. If I look put together, perhaps I can deal with ALL THE ONEROUS TASKS coming due at the same time.

It's mostly not my fault that August was a total wash in terms of productivity (THANKS, DAD), but I still have to deal with the consequences.

Ziplines are a lot faster than they look. And you can't close your eyes or else you can't see the guide frantically signalling you to brake as you get to the landing platform.
