this is spinal snap!

Woke up this morning to laundry room floor with a quarter-inch or so more water on it than I generally prefer. Cleared space. Re-sorted laundry. Hoping to find a cause at some point. Also hope rain will stop so I can take soaking braided rug outside to dry, or at least decompose in the outdoors.

Car has thrown shoe. More precisely, thrown an axle boot. I have no idea what that is, but it is being fixed, along with the dead headlamp. I only took it in for an oil change. God thinks he's funny.

Watched most of Millennium Season 2 over the weekend. That, my friends, is some damn good TV. You get Charles Nelson Reilly as José Chung vs. a cult that's nothing like Scientology, Darren McGavin as Frank Black's dad, Mary Magdalene in junior high, assorted demons and devils, an angel or two, flesh-eating bacteria, the earwormiest pop music accompanying wonderful torture and murders, and a really crappy painting by Hitler. Best Buy's got it for $19.99 right now, and it's well worth having. (The only disappointment is the godawful extras and commentaries. A Morgan and Wong show, but no Morgans or Wong at the party, not that one can blame them.)

Made Tommy a strange hat, and finished her Comet the Wonder Horse sweater. Alas, last week I heard the dreaded Obitsu Snap!, and had to send off for a new part to fix her. She keeps giving me the whole "Oh God...I can't feel my legs..." thing, then acts all pissy when I point out her lack of a nervous system. Disassembling her and doing a spinal transplant should be fun. For me at least.

Not kvetching, just reporting. It's okay. It's fixed now.

Well, actually they forgot to change out the headlamp. The phone rang at 8:05. "We forgot to change out the headlamp." "Yes. Yes, you did." "Bring it by and we'll do that." "Thank you."

Get any sleep, doll?

Sweet of you to ask.
A last hour of sleep by way of bopping the alarm a buncha times. Skated in to work just in time. Ate my cookie ice cream sandwich as breakfast to give myself that extra sparkle... (coffee somehow does very little for me when I hit this stage) BLTSH(...Chemistry-->Sugar High) all day, it'll be.

Note that it was 3:30am when I popped awake, so I did get an initial 4 hours there.

Good. I hate it when I can't sleep. Usually I have to get up and eat cereal and paint.

Er..."paint" as a verb, not "eat paint."
