this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For your amusement: Tim found himself writing fruit fly fanfic in his head at work. (His office kitchen has fruit flies, and so he made a fruit fly trap out of a plastic container and some plum pits. And then he noticed one fruit fly was just sitting near the hole but not going *in* the trap, even though there were a ton of other fruit flies in the trap. And then he said he started imagining Outside Fruit Fly yelling down into the trap "Don't worry, guys! Joe has gone for help! We're going to lower a rope down for you!")

When he described this to me, *he* is the one who specifically used the term "fanfic." As in "I wrote fruit fly fanfic in my head today."

So today I feel like the more normal one in the relationship. Woo!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh and glad to hear ltc is doing fine, sorry about the trip to the ER but better safe

I tip because I figure LA is stupid expensive and I worry that folks are counting on their tips to cover their monthly expenses.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Getting even six uninterrupted hours of sleep is pretty unusual for me--it's usually closer to 5. I do try to go back to sleep or nap on the weekends, but I can't always.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

To be fair the only furniture I've had delivered was both a couch and a loveseat, so I think I tipped each guy $20.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sleep -- I want 7 to 8. i get between 5 and 6

Wednesday I woke up at 5 ( I normally get up 730ish) this morning I woke up at 4.

2 days is bad - much more - and I think everyone should die.

I don't even know why this has happened

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I ended up tipping $10, because it was the owner and his buddy, who had clearly just finished about half a pack each in the van on the way over and were huffing and puffing and stopping to rest all the way up our stairs (I'm pretty sure Emmett could have soloed it in about 90 seconds if he'd been here), and I felt bad for them. They were also both super-charming to Matilda when they found out the bit of furniture (a Chinese lacquer dresser/jewelry cabinet) was for her. So, tipping happened.

If I'm getting up at 5:30, got at least 2 more hrs.

Sarameg, go to sleep! If you're getting up at 5:30AM, won't you be so tired??
