Thick as a brick is not a bad phrase to describe my head today. I need uninterrupted sleep. I added a new station to my journey through insomnia last night. Now I wake up on the fibonacci hours:23, and as an extra added bonus, pi, 3:14. My clock doesn't show seconds, and I think this is a good thing. What the fuck. I suppose I'd have to wake up twice at 1:23 to really pull off the sequence, but hey. I'm doing the best I can. I'm not even a mathematician.

Anyway, I can't seem to get much accomplished today either. Yesterday I was toxic, today I'm just stupid. Everything's not coming out wrong, but every third thing is. And I have something useful to say to the spiral ritualists, if I could just figure out how to say it. I understand Mercury's in retrograde and all, but I don't even believe in astrology. Maybe if I don't believe in it harder, it will leave me alone.

I took 100 mic. of synthroid and 2 excedrin. Couldn't hurt, might help.

EDIT: The fog is clearing a bit now - maybe it's the med hit, or maybe it's this: "We are going to create a super-coffee that everyone can benefit from eventually," Mr Rodrigues told reporters in Brasilia.

(hugs and pets you comfortingly)
What sleep I've had lately I've spent in WW2 occupied France hunting Nazi SS officers and helping form resistance cells. Not the most pleasant way to spend the night, but still strangely satisfying. From experience, I know that when you sit down and close your eyes for a minute and ending up falling into a mini-dream inside of five minutes due to extreme REM rebound...your body is trying desperately to tell you something. The Universe just whispered to me that you should take a nap early this evening if at all possible. Hope that helps. Myself, I ward my sanctuary against intruding spirits and then sleep much better.

Thank you. I actually am getting some REM, because I remember dreaming about rescuing babies from a zoo in my grandmother's house and assigning them names based on random draw from a bag full of names, or some similar thing, but still.

I agree with the wisdom the Universe is providing you.

I hadn't thought about intruding beasties though. Maybe I'm recieving nocturnal visits from discorporate mathematicians. That'd be fun - I'm fond of mathematicians, as a rule.

grumblefuck is my new favorite word! Massage works wonders too (that was a not so subtle hint!)

Or drinking, or great sex, or sleeping pills if warding the space doesn't help you drift of into blissful slumber...zzzzz

Glad I could assist you in vocabulary building :)
Stick around, I make fresh new words every week.

I'm perfectly willing to apply all of those methods, but it's not the getting to sleep that eludes me, it's the staying asleep. I have a theory on this, but I need some equipment to test it.

Theories and equipment...sounds ghostbutery to me...can I play?

Love to make up new words...language is one of my favorite things but it doesn't work well in the song...

(in my best julise Andrews impersonation) language and verbage and particlples dangling...

Verbage invented, modifiers mangled,
Grammar disrupted, participles dangled,
Suffixes added without any need,
To the warped linguaphile, these are fine things indeed!

When they tell you, that it's not so
That your words are wrong,
Just grin a big grin and then tell them you know,
And sing them this little song!

Ok, I am officially your number one fan...swoon

Thanks! (But it's probably better not to encourage me...as you can see, it takes very little to set me off on these things)

Hey now. What are you trying to say?

Nothing you don't already know.

In other news, know what the only other common-use word I've found that uses the same word as sarcophagus is?

Sarcasm (from sarkazein, to tear flesh like dogs, apparently)

Wow. That's interesting. Where did you find that fun little nugget?

Dictionary.com, of course.

Isn't that what the Internet is for?

I don't know. Did you encounter any porn in your research?

*thinks*
.
.
Now that you mention it, no, despite the keyword 'flesh' being involved.

Huh.

I have just added this to the 'Songs for the Put Upon' collection...

There you are - mindless doggerel. A sure sign I'm feeling better.
