Ain't no party like a Lateshift party!

21:15 / 01.08.07

So long as there's method to it, I guess.

21:47 / 01.08.07

Getting an early start to the lateshifting?

21:49 / 01.08.07

I think it's late for some. I since I've had only naps, it's still last night, for me.

21:51 / 01.08.07

Late for some, early for others... isnt this proof of Einstein's Theory of Relativity or something along those lines?

21:56 / 01.08.07

Schrodinger's 'Lith. It is many things to all people, all things to many, and something to somebody. Also, half-dead and poison gassed at any given point.

21:57 / 01.08.07

But is it liquid at room temperature?

22:02 / 01.08.07

Should it be served at room temperature or slightly chilled?

22:02 / 01.08.07

Yes. And it finds ways to remind everybody all the time.

22:06 / 01.08.07

Lateshift: Yep, its now sentient.

22:09 / 01.08.07

Apparently. I think the Lateshift has consumed our brains and replicated itself in us to perpetuate it and its species.

22:13 / 01.08.07

I'm almost certain more than half of this month's lateshifts have been reruns or echoes. Or, maybe that's just my posts.

Would explain the increasing rapidity of the birth/chrysalis/spawn cycle, though, oncoming sentience and biologic drives.

22:15 / 01.08.07

Does this mean we've accidentally created another Gek, but all lateshifty?

22:18 / 01.08.07

Demand something. If tries to eat your face, it's KEG-style. If it just sits there and gives you a vague optimism, GEK.

If it talks of booze and cheeses? It's a monsterbaby all our own!

22:19 / 01.08.07

Had I been drinking, there would have been need to clean the keyboard!

22:21 / 01.08.07

Im hoping it brings us cheese and booze.

22:23 / 01.08.07

Lateshift is some new baby, constantly rebirthing itself. The drinking problem, well, inherited alcoholism happens.

22:25 / 01.08.07

Im hoping it brings us cheese and booze.

Somewhere, a wolf's ears just pricked up, and he held his stolen basket and hood a little tighter.

Did these lateshifts ever truly belong to that other hemisphere's posters?

22:25 / 01.08.07

It's definitely growing, too, considering this isn't even a late lateshift.

22:27 / 01.08.07

Isn't that the classic alcoholic's excuse, though?

It's barely ten in the morning!

Not in Taiwan!

22:32 / 01.08.07

Hmm. This may be a problem.

If you would like to know more about this problem please send a self-addressed stamped bottle of booze to: Me.

22:33 / 01.08.07

I'm cooking for the dinner club tonight -- chocolate chip pancakes with a fruit compote and a fruit salad on the side. With a bottle of Riesling.

22:43 / 01.08.07

mmm.. that sounds delish. Except for the pancakes. Not a big pancake fan if it isnt breafast time.

22:48 / 01.08.07

I like pancakes any time of day or night, but I suck at making them properly round. And never could get the hang of the chocolate chip ones, even though one of my brother's happiest memories of our childhood centers around them.

This is how sad my family is: My mother mentions the happiest Christmas our family had, the first one we really did anything holiday-esque for. She remembers all the happiness. We couldn't remember it. She mentions the year and it clicks. My bro remembered chocolate chip pancakes. I remembered that the local Fire Dept. gave us a canned ham. Neither of us realized that was for Christmas.

22:53 / 01.08.07

Neither of us realized that was for Christmas.

I can just see it now..
DN:"Gee Timmy, the fireman gave us ham. Do you think they got it after the fire from old Mr. Johnson's house? It does say 'smoked ham'"
Timmy:"Gosh DN, I just hope Mr. Johnson wasnt eating it when the fire broke out"
DN: "Me too, Timmy. Me too."

22:54 / 01.08.07

Ah, to the live without Christmas...

23:04 / 01.08.07

what?

23:05 / 01.08.07

I am not, as a rule, much of a Christmas person. Having a non-holiday holiday like Dec's family did, apparently, would be lovely.

23:08 / 01.08.07

Venger, what makes that great, is my brother's first name actually is Tim!

We were amazingly disconnected from proper American culture as kids in so, so many ways, and I think, at the time, I might not have entirely got that X-Mas was like one day (and evening), and just assumed it was, y'know, December.

23:13 / 01.08.07

Venger, what makes that great, is my brother's first name actually is Tim!

Yes, yes. Tim Nightfalling. Great guy.

23:26 / 01.08.07

Okay, kids. Talk to you later--need to motor to the grocery store and then go and do the dinner.

23:28 / 01.08.07

K' have fun.

Crap. Now I have the Pancake Day song from some british Robin Hoodesque comedy earworming my head

23:30 / 01.08.07

Have fun.

I really should have a proper dinner soon, instead of just grabbing a handful of this, a piece of that every time I get a little bit hungry. Piecing should only go on so long before a real meal is justifiable.

02:11 / 03.08.07

One more hour...of work...left.

Then it's home to drink whatever's left in the apartment & fire off one thousand words of two-fisted detective action.

02:15 / 03.08.07

Yay! The shifts open!

hey Papers! You not finished that book yet?
