This has got to be the lamest use I've ever made of my lj...

and if it's not, I don't want to know what beats it.

...just to wrap things up

...because I've already sent the thing in, but I have this thing about completion, so even though I'm no longer asking for beta, I need the second & third parts of Part IV up or I will someday wonder what happened to them.

Also, I haven't been to bed yet.

...and that's all she wrote. Other than the conclusion, which really sucked and just rehashed stuff so I'm too embarrassed to post it in case I happen to wander through here some day in the distant future and read it and wonder WTF.

So I pulled yet another all-nighter, but this time it really wasn't my fault. I went to bed, I swear I did, but my brain was running on so much hyper energy that I lay there for over an hour trying to go to sleep with no luck. Finally gave up. Watched Queer As Folk (mmm, Brian Kinney), some vaguely Law & Order-like show on A&E (Coach? Is that you?), CTV news (it's going to be windy & rainy in Toronto today), a documentary on serial killers (did you know Charles Manson had abnormally high levels of either nickel or lead in his hair?), and CNN. Wow, 1 in 10 American families have at least one illegal immigrant. That's a lot of illegals. Also? Yellow is not one of the colours of the American flag. If you're asked that question on a citizenship test, now you know.


I had vague ideas about writing a witty yet passive-aggressive entry aimed at my anonymous lj un-admirer, but I think it was only funny at four in the morning. I'll probably just continue to ignore her.

...and now it's time to start my day and prepare for our vacation tomorrow. Packing, picking up drugs, possibly buying a swimsuit, dropping off all 97 books I borrowed for AbLaw, calling the city re. our taxes, collecting my choir music, and possibly trying to get a nap in there somewhere. We leave tomorrow at 5:30AM. ::sob::

Ellen's normally pasty skin is all aglow with the warmth of a woman in love...

...with a woman.

What's today the 10th anniversary of? If the above wasn't hint enough, here's another, and I am not making this up. There was severe flooding going on in Manitoba at the time, and on TV that night, during a break, the newscaster said something like, "As the Red River rises, all of Winnipeg is wondering: will the dikes hold?"

If you still have no clue, click here.

no rest for the wicked ;)

Finally going to sleep, after I dunno, like, five days awake or something. Will sleep for four hours, then wake up at FOUR IN THE MORNING so we can get everybody up and moving and go to florida for nine days so yeah, gotta go bye bye :)
