I've always been a night person. Someday [funny I should use "day" there, but, hey, it's the constraints of the language, somenight just sounds... wrong, and some night is entirely too divided] I have a story about that, actually, but not right now. In any event, it takes the merest chance for me, and I slip back into being homed in on darkness, the way...

That's just a scare tactic from anti-Vampirists.

Thank you for that clip. I'm with you on being a night person living in a day person's world. Hope your Christmas was good, despite backsliding into some bad habits.
I didn't sleep.
It's amazing how far a cup of tea will take me, when I don't desperately need to stay awake.
Instead, I watched a movie this morning, "Ink". I could tell about it, but it's a story worth approaching fresh. I feel at odds with its vision, but it is beautiful. Mine is just... my own.

Well.. I love nikon, I know people often hesitate between canon and nikon because they're the two brand which make reflex more or less affordable. I've heard canon are easier to use, but I've never took the time to really try one. Nikon seems enough easy to me. I don't really know what to say, if you got questions, go ahead

I got a Nikon D60, I've had it since... last february I think. And I've never had a problem with it. I'm careful through... But everything is working. I had a 18-55 lense that came with it, which works perfectly fine too 
I've never had to complain.
I've never had to complain.And now... for your entertainment... Grayness presents...

Thank you, Gray. Merry Christmas to you, too.

brilliant by the way. sorry i didn't comment on this earlier. my head... has been elsewhere lately.
So, today I go get limes.
A weekend without proper tea wouldn't be the same.
But speaking of tea... I have one lime left.
I think I hear it calling.

Mostly better.
The plus side of colds is they give you a good excuse to drink more tea.
This week has gone quickly... because it has been, and continues to be, insanely busy. But it's 95% making sure things get done and maybe 5% actually doing. I prefer the doing part.
Strike that- it's been 50% making sure things get done, 45% proving people should...

The doing is more rewarding. Feel better soon.

You should have tea anytime you want. At our age we don't need an excuse.

Hello, how are you? Feeling better my lovely?
succor:
Escher.. nicee.. love his work.
I have fragments of a... something... I am playing around with putting together.
Meanwhile... for one more day... they have The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and For A Few Dollars More up on youtube. That's far better entertainment than I am at the moment. Go and enjoy!
Although, there's definitely a moment in For A Few Dollars...

Clint Eastwood is one of my dad's favorite actors and I have fond memories of his westerns when I was little.

oh feel better Grayness!! I got done with my presentation..it was okay. I was totally unprepared and I just made jokes over my topic. All in all i probably got a B..good enough.
I'm tired a good deal. recently. I find myself falling asleep very early, and getting up equally early... 3 AM or so.
On the days when I can afford to not be alert every moment, like today, I'll find myself drifting off for a few seconds here and there as I sit at the computer. It feels longer. but I have happened to notice the...

Looks like my kind of book, I will try and get my hands on a copy, thanks
I hear things like that when I'm almost falling asleep on the train, not sure if its the same thing?
Auditory hallucinations are extremely common though, especially when you're on the edge of sleep.

So, tonight I watched two of the last four episodes of Firefly that I hadn't seen yet.
Appropriate.
I'll save the other two for sometime later.
I hope that later will be a while in coming.

I've never seen Firefly, what's this ?
I miss having an animal. And since I can't have a cat now (my flat is too little ) I'm seriously thinking on getting a rat I don't really know, I need to see if I have enough money/time.

Ah the 50s...before Civil Rights and Macs. No...I prefer it now.

I'm glad that I wasn't drafted for the Battle of Hastings. I was busy smoking hash with all the hippies in York. We fled to Ireland for a bit, until we could come back. The worst part was that we had to learn that damned French language to keep up with the Norman chicks.
Never take poop for granted
...or our little bacterial friends.
The bad guys get all the press... but for each of the bad flesh-eating, antibiotic-resisting villains, there are many more little digestive-tract helping heroes slaving away in obscurity to keep us big old lugs of mammals humming along.
Just a thought.
