what a waste of a day. it is 2pm and i have not slept in nearly 24 hours. thanks to the great white snowstorm of 2008 i was stuck at work until noon after arriving at 530 last night and then got home nearly an hour later. after taking a shower and eating a bowl of cereal it is 2 and i am wondering if there is any point in sleeping at all before just going to bed for the night later. if i sleep now it will either be a short nap that will inevitably make me feel like a barfy spaceman or i will sleep until dark night time and then just be up all night anyway. yet if i just stay up i will be fighting my heavy eyelids and the grumpies until bedtime and i almost definitely won't get anything useful at all done. blerg.

there is an awesome snowball fight going on across the street right now. four people and one million snowballs later and i will say that the one in yellow--who is THE MOM--is totally kicking everyone else's ass. not only does she have the best cover (behind the fence), but she also has the best aim, and by far the best strategy: she keeps aiming for the branches of the trees above so that these massive amounts of snow come spilling down upon the boys when they least expect it. niiiice.

i think i'm going to buy a cactus. i think i'm going to get rid of a bunch of crap. i think i'm going to use my extra days for things i want to learn like glassblowing and taxidermy and making lattes. i think i'm headed to the library now. i best check if they're even open.
