Timelies.

Shir, I went to bed just after the tackle hug. Clearly that is why the gods kept me awake, to see your pixels.

IOinsomniaN- seems NPR had two reports on sleep studies. One about sleep apnia, and how a custom fitted mouth guard thing can work as good as surgery or the machine thingy (sorry, forget the name, it was in between snooze bar slaps), and the second report was about some new study that suggests as we grow older, it's perfectly reasonable to have a sleep pattern that doesn't sleep all the way through. That is all I recall. I'm sure there will be links on the site later today when the morning show if off the air.

ION. um. OW. legs still hurt. I believe this is customary for day after first real exercise. This only reinforces that I prefer pleasure to pain, and I do not derive pleasure from pain. Why can't the exercise process be closer to the euphoria of orgasm I ask? I think it would solve the obesity problems. Can we fix this evolutionary oversight? Now? k. thnks.

And now I must go to work.

ok, I lied a little bit. I checked one more link before getting ready for work. And I felt the need to come in here and give Sean a hard time (tongue in cheek of course. I do *not* want to dissuade him from spending time with new girl!). Here it goes :: cracks knuckles ::

I went over to Conquer Club to see if it was my turn to play on any of the games, and I can't help but notice it's Sean's turn on ALL of them. I see how it is! Once ya get a lady friend, you can't spend time with us anymore. Jeesh man.

I do not derive pleasure from pain.

FWIW, masochists don't derive pleasure from *all* pain. If a masochist stubs her toe, she's going to yelp and swear and not enjoy it one bit.

IJS.

So I see the Sunday night insomnia is a global thing.

Yes, the insomnia fairy was BUSY last night. I remember seeing 4:24 on the clock. Slept in a bit, but still groggy. Insomnia not helped by the fact that I found and read an old letter from my dad. No big, just a little note that he sent me right before my backpacking trip with some advice about where to go and what to see. So, there was also some very deliberate not thinking about that. And did I mention the PMS? And the fact that something got caught in the tiny space in my back tooth, causing swelling and discomfort. Not pain, and will go away by lunchtime, but annoying and not helpful with the trying to get to sleep. Yes, last night sucked out loud.

I would've been bitten hard by the insomnia fairy last night, had it not been for the lovely muscle relaxer that took care of the odd pain shooting from my neck, across my shoulder and down my arm.

I did try going to sleep without taking anything, but yeah, that didn't work. So I wound up sleeping great, but coming up on noon and I'm still groggy and can't think straight.

An audio experiment that does not involve flame! Am I allowed to do this one??
