This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Trust my rage

We currently have awesome raindeer flannel sheets and flannel comforter (but not pillowcases) on our bed. I love it because my feet warm up nistantly and I wake up feeling so warm and cozy.

Because books.

I can't sleep with socks anymore. Feet must be bare to sleep!

Woke up to find Immanuel Kat was still sleeping peacefully on my chest

I actually prefer this to a cat sleeping on my head, not that either is really enjoyable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just pull them off in my sleep

Top and bottom?

I only have one sheet set. Mostly I just buy bottom sheets. But I keep a blanket (hotel-style fleece, which wear out, which is a shame, because I have 4, all showing signs of age) and a top sheet in play so I can adjust coverage on the fly. My temperature is very important, but I need covers no matter how hot it is. Even if I have them just near my face and off the rest of my body.

I have been given the most complicated queries that I know are pulling some incorrect data from tables I don't even understand. I feel I'm short-shrifting the developer by only explaining to him what's wrong in English and not SQL. But mine eyes are crossing.

Bah - NYS gay marriage debate "liveblog" hasn't updated in 45 minutes. Not very useful, Times!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't really like sleeping in socks, actually. It's just necessary some of the time.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Most people toughed it out, but whenever Colin was over there was usually a pile of his clothes at the front door and he was basically in skivvies.

You just said that to hurt us, didn't you?

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

Not very useful, Times!

Did you see the blog's byline? It's the publisher's son. He can slack off, and they can't fire him!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I recognised the name, but didn't know it was the son. Again, I say - Bah!

[hey, complaining worked! He finally updated!]

You can't imagine his basic youthful allergy to clothes. Which persisted for a while into his acting career. But onstage at the comedy club the standups would place bets on how long it would take him to shed his clothes. There were no losers there, I think.

I really can't see the point of a slow roll call vote on this - didn't we already just spend 2 hours hearing everyone explain how they were voting and why?
