Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I still need to buy down pillows. I went to Macy's last week and they were on sale for ½ off! But they were sold out.

Ikea! I have a mountain of the cheapest, fattest down ones. I think I'll get two thinner ones also for when I sleep on my side. My sleeping position amounts to "whateverthehell position I can fall asleep in." Sometimes my head at the foot of the bed works... started doing that as a kid and I have no idea why. Haven't tried that in a while, actually.

Our wings are not tired.

DH is a no covers sleeper unless very cold so I get All The Covers most of the time.

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

I discovered back in the day that pillows were fucking with my back--I switched to Tempurpedic about ten years ago, and it was one of the most clear improvements I made for my health. I can now sleep with a single flat normal pillow, if required, but for a while I travelled with a smaller Tempurpedic, or went without pillows at all--that was more comfortable.

I certainly haven't returned to my former two-pillow habits.

I always put socks on before going to sleep here--I used to pretend that it was a minor issue, but I would find myself getting angrier and angrier at my feet being a different temperature, and little ruined falling asleep more. I don't use them in Jamaica, but LA is rarely hot enough long enough for me to put them aside here.

I got some awesome pillows at Costco. I went back and bought extras just to have more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, what does the Vatican think about Batman these days?

Vatican's communications site runs Batman story

VATICAN CITY (AP) — One of the Vatican's main Twitter accounts and the website of its communications office were running stories about Batman on Thursday with the headline "Holy Switcheroo!" — raising concerns they might have been hacked.

But two Vatican officials said the site hadn't been hacked, and that the reason for the unusual posting was an "internal system failure" due to a non-native English speaker posting the story on the website.

The story was from the Catholic News Service. It has as its headline: "Holy Switcheroo! Batman has grown bitter, more vengeful with the years" and details the evolution of the Batman comic franchise.

I can't decide if I prefer them in the short or the long style--they're both rather cute, but would be overkill.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

We each have a Temperpedic pillow and then 3 regular pillows. DH uses one pillow; I use the rest.

I think I just like to feel air moving. If I'm driving and the vents are all closed I feel like I get twitchy and feel like I can't drive.

THIS. SO much this.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim got the IKEA memory foam pillow that's shaped to be supportive of the neck ("Go neck! You can do it!") because he was getting a lot of neck pain. It took about 2 weeks for him to adjust to the pillow -- which is WAY more time than I would be able to tolerate, having an uncomfortable pillow -- but now his neck is un-painful and he sleeps with just that one pillow. It freaks me out when I roll over and hit it with a hand or arm, because it's SO dense. It feels like a body.

Yes, totally. Does that make us land sharks?
