This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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

So both kids tonight decided they needed white noise stations to go to sleep, and now I'm listening to them from a few rooms away and zoinks I want to go to bed right now! And play a white noise station for myself

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

Almost 3am and I'm wide awake.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope you fell asleep right after posting, Zen. I was exhausted last night and slept (on and off) about 10 hours. Amazing that I didn't have nightmares since I was listening the Brian Williams and the Russian stuff as I fell asleep. And I didn't get up until 8! I woke at 6 as usual, but bed comfy, real world unappealing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was wide awake at 3, too. Took a sick day today.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

All your sleep are belong to me.

I got home about 7:15, lay down to rest my aching back ... and woke up at 8:45. Went back to sleep and, aside from several trips to the bathroom to pee, slept through until 5:20 or so - before my alarm went off.

Sorry about that ...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am not sleeping well. Super vivid detailed dreams. Nothing bad, just indicative of not getting restful sleep. I can draw out plans of houses and yards from these dreams. Not helpful.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I so don't want to be working on today's project. I'm recreating slides for a lecture on economics with equations and demand curves. And, wow, am I bouncing hard off the topic. I mean, I don't know much about epidemiology or sports or genetics, either, but at least those were interesting to learn about as I worked with the related materials. But this one--total snooze fest. I know economics affects our lives, society, history, etc. But the instructor isn't really drawing any conclusions about those relationships. It's all "plug in different factors that affect demand and get a different chart." Zzzzzzz. I should send a copy to all the insomniacs on the board.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jeez, I slept badly too. Up until around 1:30, and this morning I'm a klutz. I tore a nail trying to open my Coke.

I am also calling in sick.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was up until 4 and took a sick day.

WHAT MONSTER STOLE OUR COLLECTIVE SLEEP?

I also got crappy sleep, but I have a lot of teammates out, my performance evaluation is due today, I need to stalk my manager so I can ask him some questions about my performance evaluation, and I already called in sick on Monday due to insomnia.
