Well, it's 5 in the morning and I can't sleep. This is very uncommon. Actually, I don't remember the last time I just couldn't sleep and actually got up and did something.
I'm thinking about all the things I have to do tomorrow - not worrying, mind you, just thinking, and I can't make it stop. Tomorrow I don't have my group together, but I have an excellent backup plan if I can't get plan A working in time. I'm thinking about the wedding. I'm worried about my sick friend. I'm wondering if I'll make a good wife in (good grief!) less than 3 weeks. I'm thinking about grant writing. Grant writing, for crying out loud! At 5 AM! And I'm excited about starting school again in (hopefully) 7 months. Tell me, why does my brain want to think these thing so badly that it won't let me sleep and it knows I have to be at work in 3 1/2 hours?

I want one!!!
I just had to share this picture of baby porcupines. They're so cute!!!! I want one, I want one! James said we can consider it, but if we're getting a baby skunk, too, then we'll have to risk that they won't get along, and that won't be pretty.

Shoegazing
Has anyone ever heard of the musical genre "shoegazing"? Not only did I discover a new genre, I found out that I LOVE it! I already have shoegazer albums! I'm fully equipped to enjoy this new world!
Some bands you should really check out if you haven't yet:
Cocteau Twins (shoegazers)
This Mortal Coil (shoegazers again)
Massive Attack
Meg Lee Chin
Elastica
Aphex Twin
The Halo Benders
etc., etc.

Comments!
Make comments on me! Turns out, it was my template that wasn't behaving properly. I had to fire it and hire another, and James manipulated some of the settings to personalize it a little. Yay for personalization!
achtung!
It has come to my alarming attention that my blog will not post comments. You write one in, and you say, "Post!", and it says in reply, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening..." This infuriates me. James to the rescue! (Please?)
In other news...
Did you know that ancient Romans wouldn't bathe in water? Especially if they were rich? They thought it was dirty. Instead, they'd spread oil all over themselves and then have a slave scrape it off them with something called a "scapula" (it's been a while but I think that's how it's spelled) that resembles a mini boomerang with a handle.
Oh, and now James has hidden my new wedding band because I like it too much and I snuck it off to church today to show it off to Kadra. I didn't even wear it on the correct finger. I wore it on my thumb. And now he's revoked my ring-looking privileges.
And tomorrow we're going to watch an exhilirating "Under the Sea" film for Science Day!
Do you see Noah's EYES in that picture?!?!

free candy
Every once in a while, a client leaves the facility and forgets his candy in the room where I put it after he buys it from the store. When that happens, I eat it. Is that stealing candy from a kid? For instance: this afternoon, I enjoyed a delightful "Cascade Crash" Gatorade left over from someone who left two days ago. I'd like to think that she'd have wanted me to have it, but then I remember that she really didn't like me. Oh well.
What do you miss most about your childhood? I am especially sad that I've lost a lot of my sense of adventure. I loved finding hiding places and dissecting plants and keeping pet monarch cacoons.
Who is your favorite punk rock band?
