Try listening to a book on tape. Preferably something you've read before, so if you miss bits, when you fall asleep, it's not that big of deal. Something you liked--mind. You want to be vaguely happy but not too intensely interested in, say, the plot. Something with good language. You can listen in the dark, and if you're horizontal with your eyes closed, you'll fall asleep. Guaranteed. I'm listening to Moby Dick right now and it works like a fuckin' charm.

A whale of a fuckin' charm.

speaking of sleeping, I think I better go to bed now, meself. Good night Stoatie wherever you are! Good night everyone else!

I don't have books on tape! Dammit!

Part of me rather likes it, though. I secretly like going for walks at 5am and stuff, because it just feels like a whole different secret world. It is possible I can't make much sense in my groggy state, but there's something funny about it. Kind of a tiny inbetween day between today and tomorrow.

And eventually when I do sleep, and wake up the next day, it is just as a dream!

Hi again all. My living room is a mess. The day was spent removing the ceiling and replacing a load-bearing beam. The place is 80+ years old (built by my great grandparents) and the ceingling was starting to sag downwards. It was fun. I love this handyman crap. Next its the ceiling in the kitchen and replace all the electrical wiring. Yay!!!
 
 
alas

get thee to a public library, my friend. Now I REALLY AM going to bed.

Cheers.

I ate pizza, instead!

Keggers: I don't envy your tasks! I live in fear of one day being called upon to do such things, whereupon I flee in to the forest and live with the animals.

And I don't even know where the nearest forest is.

Well thankfully one of my fathers friend came over to give a hand. He works in construction so he knew just what to do and how to do it.

All went well.

I might start hording nuts, just in case.

Well, this is barbelith...its the right place to start.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:00 / 18.01.05
YES!
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:14 / 18.01.05
INDEED!
 
 
alas
23:25 / 18.01.05
AFFIRMATIVE!

Wait, what am I affirming? Am I nuts?

Well, it's been another quiet week in Lake Wobegone. Damn cold, here. My office is very cold--my toes have lost all feeling.

ok okay it's not like it's fucking CANADA or anything. But this weather system is called an ALBERTA clipper. Not for nothing, I tell you.

I grew up in the midwest. We can talk about nothing but the weather for entire lifetimes. Generations upon generations of nothing but weather talk.

Many many moons ago, when the caribou ran free accross the streets, We decided to not talk about the weather unless there are more people dying from it than playing hockey in it.

It's in the 40's (farenheit) here.
My girlfriend thinks it's cold. Heheheheheheheh...
Ahhh, silly Californians.

Is it shifty enough for ya NOW??
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:34 / 18.01.05

I'm afraid I am still unsatisfied.

More shifting! Better shifting! Shift today!

While typing that last post, I was merely carrying on to see if I'd slip on the keyboard, as I was certain I would.

Maybe you need to re-adjust your shifting requierments to meet a more realistic goal/
 
 
lekvar
23:39 / 18.01.05
Sorry, can't help you Suedey. I'm shiftless. That's why I hang out in this thread.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:39 / 18.01.05
I might eat a burger, and a sausage! Fuck a diet.
 
 
alas
23:45 / 18.01.05
I tried fucking a diet once. It wasn't very much fun, let me tell you. A diet is a bad fuck.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:46 / 18.01.05
Is it bony?
 
 
alas
23:53 / 18.01.05
I've never met a diet with a boner. So, no.
 
 
lekvar
23:54 / 18.01.05
Only if it's a low-fat diet.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:55 / 18.01.05
I so want to fry things.
 
 
alas
00:00 / 19.01.05
Well, get out and fry some new things. Liff a little.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
00:02 / 19.01.05
But it's baaaad, I'm trying to eat well! I think I can avoid it for now.

Hello Shifters.

This thread is now officially seven shades of wrong and has also headed towards the house of very weird. It's not a full moon. Pull yourselves together.

I think one of you should start a new one.

I'm sick and it's gotten cold here. I think I'm sick because it's gotten cold here. This is the suck.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:10 / 19.01.05
You start new ones at 9 or more. Not less. There just a way things are to be done.

Sally, You need a hot toddy.
