Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay adulting and productivity, Steph!

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

The clocks in my house are literally showing different times. I set my alarm for 6:30 and it went off at 6:40. The microwave and cable box are like ten minutes slow, and the cable box is actually stuck at 6:28. I cannot cope with this confusion this early.

W00t! Go you, Steph!

I found myself wide awake at 4:45 this morning—an hour before I usually get up. After 15 minutes I accepted that I wouldn't be falling back to sleep and got up for an extra mug of coffee by the light of the Christmas tree. OK, yes, 3:00 pm or so is gonna suck, but it was a lovely way to start the day.

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

Go Tep!

I don't know what to say to that, Dana. My sympathies.

After 5 days working the sale I have to get back to my regular schedule. Getting out of bed is hard. Do not want.

That does sound very pleasant, Calli.

Strangely, the clocks seem to have reset and synchronized themselves.

I swear, I'm not crazy.

Time was out of joint for a while there, Dana. It happens.

Amy Howe just tweeted that it sounded like Justice Kennedy was leaning toward Masterpiece Cakeshop, which makes me feel ill.

Kennedy sent mixed messages: At one point, told Solicitor General that a win for cakeshop could lead to an affront to the gay community, but also suggested Colorado was too hostile to religion.

Ooh, I got a half hour of double time yesterday Sunday. Neat.

ETA I have a strong feeling that I am not going to know what day of the week it is until 2018

I don't know the particulars of the cake case very well. My feeling is that if the baker refuses service because of what he is creating then that seems like a legit issue, but if the baker is refusing service because of who he is creating a cake for then that is discrimination.
