My house is too quiet with no kids in it. And the heat. It’s 81 in my house. I’d rather be cold and snuggle under a ton of blankets, at least until winter when I decide I would rather be too warm while sitting in front of a cool fan.
Because I hate sleeping and wish I never had to. Every minute I sleep is just wasted time that could be better used for reading or learning or listening to music or just enjoying the beautiful night sky.
@YellowJournalism: I wish I could send you some of our weather – where I live right now we’re experiencing a VERY strange cold snap (when it’s usually in the 90s during the day and not much cooler at night because my old apartment just stores up that damn heat). I’ve actually been sleeping with the blankets on the last few nights!

@Little Boots: Hmm, internwebs keep me up even later, so unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. I usually end up falling asleep in front of the TV watching Adult Swim.
Eight-year-old daughter sleeps so soundly she doesn’t awaken when she has to pee. We got this alarm sensor thing that’s supposed to awaken her when she starts to wet the bed. It doesn’t always awaken her but it does wakes me or Ms. A up. Tonight it woke me up, I took the little girl to the bathroom, then got her dry undies and she went back to sleep. And now I’m totally awake now and can’t sleep.
Damn I hate that frikkin’ alarm.

I loved Matt Bianco. Another good one: “Yeh-Yeh!” Their (first) singer, Basia, had a good solo career too.

spudgun
@Steeplejack: Hurrah, someone else who knows Matt Bianco! As for Basia, absolutely, I have “Time and Tide”, which was her first album – she’s an amazing vocalist.
And another thing, since I’m wide awake now… what the hell is it with the mobile site/regular site switch not working? I hate positively hate fucking mobile sites. Especially the balloon-juice mobile site. And I can’t switch it to the regular site. I’m using an iPad and when I click the mobile Off switch at the bottom of the page, and it reloads, and…nothing happens.
This is recent behavior, although I have had this problem before on this site. And BTW, only on this site.
Also,since I’m tired and sleepless and cranky, why isn’t the commenting form remembering my username and email address? It’s not a biggie to retype it in but that tells me something is mucked up with the site.
P.S. This borked site also tells me ‘error blah blah blah’ when I submit my comments and I have to hit Cancel to close the commenting window, but when I refresh I see my comment was posted.
@Mary G: Glad you’re on this thread, because I want to send blessings and hugs out to you both
I’m up, because I really have no idea what to do. I can do a hard job, a busy job, but the mindless boredom of my new posting is painful. I’m done in 2 hours, on average and then I’m itching for things to do. And after 2 decades in advertising, running machines, crafting ads, editing video, brainstorming ideas and writing them-sorting the mail, applying postage and making copies is not exactly challenging. But I’m all out of drive to apply for anything, since I’m a rejection lightning rod. Why? I don’t know. I may have 10 months to get another job, I may have 5. Unfortunately, I’m just out of ideas and energy. Which means I’m up.
@Steeplejack: Yes, I did too, but my boss, who used to play sax in a ska band in the 80s, is so anti-Style Council (“how could Paul Weller do that after The Jam?!?!? sellout!”) that I’ve been trained not to bring up their name in any conversation.
I might be lights out pretty soon. This music is unraveling me, and the housecat is giving me the “I’m tired of sleeping on the desk, I want to sleep on the bed” look.
The first time I heard this song was when someone substituted it as the audio for this clip from the old movie I Am Cuba. It worked very well, and now the “real” music sounds fake to me. Go figure. And of course the mash-up video was forced off YouTube. Grr!
Been sleeping most of the day (took the day off work to deal with tonsillitis…entire damn office has been coming to work sick, and it finally got to me). Now I’m just waiting for my clonidine to kick in so I can go back to sleep (where I get to be a Viking!)

So today I was asked if this (I like to think) still rather comely woman of 52 years has any grandkids (which I don’t), and also got called a douchebag guy who will never get laid. Gonna mark this day down on my calender with a great big WTF?!?

I think it’s pretty universal; I haven’t spoken to one person that would shed a tear if Jon Stewart didn’t return. Not that I don’t think that he’s terrific, but I do tire of the “both sides do it” ethos that he brings. Oliver is much more hard hitting and just as funny.
