Evil is measured in kilonazis (bottom center panel), good to know, and knowing is half the battle!

Are AWESOME!

Also, 3 days to Transformers on IMAX!  Yay! 

 I have gotten my sleep schedule all bollocked up.  I’m drowsy in the mid morning and around 5 PM (not very effective for work) and I’m wide awake well after midnight most nights.  This is partly due to my husband being on the night shift for the most part at his job, but I’m contributing to it by not enforcing a firm sleeping time with myself.  It’s aggravating, but I have always been resentful of enforced bedtime, even though I know I’m difficult to rouse.  I’d like to be more responsible about it, but I honestly have no idea where to start.  If I’m not tired I am perfectly capable of lying in bed and fretting for hours, and that does nothing towards getting me sleep.

I’m going to try being in bed with the lights off by 10:30 next week and see if that helps. 

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag “whoever wants to do it.”

1.   I have a brain that constantly plays word association, especially while I’m reading and/or talking to people.  This accounts for about 90% of my non-sequitirs in conversation, so please don’t mind me.

2.   I love the taste of distilled water.

3.  I was terrorized in my youth by Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It gave me a real phobia about skeletons for a long time.   I’m mostly over that now.

4.  I have a metal plate in my right ankle that I got after I broke that ankle in a tragic bowling accident.  An interesting corrolary; it was conclusively proven to me the evening of the accident that I had chosen the right guy to be with (Tiernen) as he went with me to the hospital and was a champ for the entire experience. 

5.  I’m not comfortable unless I have a book to read.  

6.  I know more camp songs than any sane person really should. 

7.  I learned more about late 20th century history from reading Doonesbury than I ever did in school.  

I tag:   ari_griffin, electrictroy999, kitkatkel, nomadicmedic, tyrrlin, verdantfem, and friscokitty

Ah, the avatars of fiction. Now that would be an interesting thesis paper. I was thinking about it because my friend Logan said he met someone who wrote a paper about the socio-dynamics of the Marvel Universe, for college. This is the kind of stuff I wish I had been savvy enough to get away with in high school. My four years would have been a lot more fun if I had taken the opportunity granted by those “write about anything related to…(subject)” assignments to write about the really important stuff (see subject line).

In the Real World, things are progressing fine. Tom’s working, I’m working. It’s the end of the fiscal year. We’re looking forward to cooler weather (and hopefully some rain) in September. There’s a lot of SCA stuff planned so I’ll have some busy weekends.
