This thread didn't get enough sleep. →[More:]
There is a hypnotist who comes to our local comedy club a few times a year. My gf had been to see his normal show, but he also has one "X-rated" show per visit, so we decided to go ahead and check it out. The trouble was, that show was Sunday at 9:30pm. And it got worse when we weren't even seated until almost 10:30. And the show wasn't all that funny. I laughed, but I had kind of expected to piss myself. We got home at 12:15, and the alarm went off at 5:45.

We had planned to see 300 tonight, but I suspect that's not going to happen now, unless the inevitable nap ends sooner than expected. I have my daughter every night till next Monday (yay!) so we won't be seeing it anytime soon (boo!).

The weekend was great, though! A good balance between getting things done and good old fashioned relaxin'.

And Virginia Tech made the tournament, even though they can't freakin' beat NC State. NC State had five conference wins, and three of them were against VT! WTF?

I'm sleepy. How are you?

Pretty much wide awake.
I got 12 hours of sleep last night. Didn't know I needed it, but the body demanded and I had no option but to obey.

*stretches*

Incredibly sleepy. Daylight savings, of course, threw me out and then there was the inevitable Sunday night can't sleep issues, and then I decided to read and forgot to fall asleep. Until 3. My alarm doesn't go off until 7, though.

Big thunderstorms last night, plus a short power outage, means I didn't really get to sleep until 1. My alarm goes off at 6:35, so I'm pretty sleepy. Power outages always wake me up. I think it's the utter stillness - no computers or fans!

I usually have to be at work at 7 am, but I got a phone call yesterday telling me not to come in till 9 am today. PERFECT timing. So, I'm doing okay, for a change.

and then there was the inevitable Sunday night can't sleep issues

That's the story of my life, EVERY weekend!!

12 hours of sleep?! And there's me, like a sucker, getting only 6. It's getting horrifyingly bright in the mornings now and our clocks aren't changing until the 25th.

Other than that, I'm pretty good, thanks for asking.

I slept seven hours last night but I am sleepy because of the time change.

Tired. Got back from the beach and went over to drink beer with a friend at her house and suddenly it was after midnight and aaaauuugghhhh!! I'm so tired now.

omg, sleepy! I don't have the U.S. time thing to deal with, but I've been sick for weeks, and pretty much doing nothing but sleeping and reading - and the fact that I actually have to move house in a couple of weeks has only made me want to stay in bed more.

Nauseous and exhausted. And it's only Monday. I couldn't figure out the nausea at first, then I remembered the vodka yesterday. In fruit juice, it's easy to forget. Had a nice dinner with jon and hugh janus last night, though. I made london broil with a lime and garlic marinade, linguini with pesto, and sauteed brussel sprouts and carrots. The weekend is far too short.

(Trying to imagine what an x-rated hypnotist does... You will now remove your bra...)

I had a busy weekend that included a very late Saturday night and a very early Sunday morning, so add daylight savings crap I'm all discombobulated and bleary. Plus my eyes hurt. Ow.

I went to a hen party in Barcelona this weekend, so I'm just starting to feel human now. Which is lucky really cos things suddenly got interesting at work.....

and that would be interesting as in the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" which with a bit of Chinese history is a perfectly understandable little curse really.

That guys photo gallery is priceless. And seriously, WTF is x-rated hypnosis??

I just got back after three weeks away and slept most of yesterday, between stacking a cord of wood and doing laundry and such. The damned frogs (which my unofficial count puts at approximately one gazillion) have apparently opened a clothing-optional nightclub just down the hill, so I actually slept better staying on a main street in Vancouver. Also, I too read late into the night. Ugh. Now that it's midnight here, I'm not sleepy again even after working my arse off all day. For crying out loud, I says.
