Show me the way to go home! I’m tired and I want to go to bed I had a drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head Wherever you may roam, over land or sea or foam Whenever you hear me singing this song, show me the way to go home! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Show me the way to my habitual abode I’m fatigued and I wanna retire I had a beverage sixty minutes ago and it went straight to my cerebellum! Wherever you may perambulate, over land or sea or atmospheric density Whenever you hear this melodious...

HACK

I cannot be sick. 🙁 I’ve been feeling like crud since yesterday…well, actually, I don’t think I’ve felt 100% since I was sick 2 weeks ago. I’m beginning to wonder if I shouldn’t go in and check whether or not I’ve got walking pneumonia again. That happened a couple of years ago after a cold that wouldn’t quit for several weeks. I was flabbergasted when the doctor told me what I had. ugh If I was a cat, I’d be hacking up this hairball. As it is, I seem to be stuck with it. *gack, hurk, ick* Really interesting article...

CLOCKING TIME

My internal clock seems to be screwed up by the fact that because I was out of work at the class the last 3 days and was in town and had sushi for dinner that yesterday was Friday. Having to get up to go to work this morning was pure torture, let me tell you. And it’s only Thursday! Oh, the humanity! I got a lot of computer work done yesterday for both Mosaic Minds and the AWC, and was actually ready to turn in at the early hour (for me) of 10 p.m., when I made the mistake of...

I KNOW FUNNY! I’M A CLOWNFISH!

I decided in the interest of being funny, cuz it’s better to laugh than to cry, to share 2 of my favorite most embarrassing moments. I won’t share the 3rd one because 1) it’s way more embarrassing than funny even though the 2 friends I’ve shared it with nearly hyperventilated from laugh-spasms after I told them about it and 2) I haven’t even told Anders about it, so why should I tell you? First One: Once, after cracking under the repetition of Sesame Street videos for DAYS.ON.END. I called my brother in the States and loudly sang the Cookie Monster...

PRETTY DAMN PUNNY!

Things that still crack me up even though my kids only thought they were funny once: In the car, going somewhere, the kids are haranguing me for something using the time-honored phrase, “please please mama please” only they’re doing it in Swedish, which is “snälla, snälla, snälla* mamma” at which point I stop them dead and say, Did you just call me a snail?! Singing Pop Goes the Weasel really loud as the kids are finishing dinner, and just as I get frozen desserts on sticks out of the freezer, I end the chorus with POPSICLE WEASEL! Karin tells me...

ARGH

Stuck in a database course with two other people. I type about a million times faster than they do. Which means, I’m sitting waiting while they finish the assignments that took me a quarter of the time. Plus the teacher has a habit of standing behind the 3 of us while we work (or rather while the other 2 students work) which means I can’t play on the internet as I would normally in a situation like this. sigh.
