3 Coffee's perking.
4 Slept in.
5 Liking myself because of it.
6 Writing fragments. Stonehenge. English rocks.
7 Left eye just about open.
8 <struggle sounds>
9 There.
10 Moving on, Part the First: I'm up.
11 I can't wait to see what putting on my socks is going to do to me this morning. Always a horrific moment.
12 You shouldn't stay up late. It's idiotic.
13 What a lot of people don't know is that I'm pretty much a creature of habit. I'm an early-to-bed guy. I don't do late.
14 I'm very secure living like that.
15 I don't like change too much.
16 Don't get me wrong. I do like natural change that occurs as we roll along.
17 I don't like change that attacks and bites like a mad dog.
18 I do like routine, as boring as that might sound.
19 I like stability. It is a part of who I am, which only I care about. Nobody else gives a darn. Don't blame 'em.
20 I don't search for chaos. I like stability.
21 I think it keeps people around me stable.
22 Moving on, Part the Second: Anybody looking?
23 The DN has gotten popular, at least by its own standards.
24 I have no idea why, but it has always had a stable amount of views, and they have tripled in the past month.
25 It's strange.
26 They give me this little "views this week" chart that I glance at every now and again. It is usually consistent and stable.
27 This week it tripled.
28 How? Yesterday it hit an all-time high, which isn't much, but it tripled. No explanation.
29 Day-um.
30 Must be my rugged good looks and ability to throw the kitchen sink at life.
31
32 Uh, yeah.
33 Didn't think you'd buy that.
34 Must be the horse gave it away.
35 Who knows?
36 Back to fragments, and depending on pictures of goofy guys in cars whose wheels have flown off. Maybe that's it. America loves stuff like that.
37 Cheap gimmicks and flashy pics.
38 I have finally tapped into American entertainment.
39 <dancing an Irish jig in his pajamas>
40 Anybody looking?
41 The image, the image! It shall burn green in your mind for eternity.
42 Moving on, Part the Thoid: A group did a skit yesterday, and the skit had a leprechaun in it.
43 Cute skit. Cute leprechaun.
44 It contained rainbows, giants, fairies and unicorns.
45 The rainbow was a girl dressed in red and white with a paper rainbow taped to her shirt, and with about twenty or so bags of skittles taped to her arms.
46 I had noticed this group the other day when I glanced over and this other girl had a neon unicorn horn on her head, complete with flowers and rainbows. I couldn't tell how it was attached, but it was fun to look up and see that.
47 It stayed perfectly on her forehead for around fifteen minutes. Sidebar: some guy on the radio just sang "Over the Rainbow." Just now. The name of the skit I'm writing about was called "Over the Rainbow." I don't make this stuff up. I swear to you. They're still talking about it.
48 Right Back to It: During the actual skit yesterday the unicorn's horn kept falling off. She never let it bother her, and continued the scene knowing her lines and staying in character.
49 Great laughs, and a fun time. Sidebar the Second: The radio just talked about Alice in Wonderland. She has been appearing in a few DN's lately, and adorns the top of this page. Just now. I'm going to call a priest, I swear.
50 Right Back to It: At the end of the day I saw a small piece of tape with the word "leprechaun" on it. It was lying on the floor. Leprechaun.
51 It was spelled correctly.
52 I have to guess that only two to three people on the entire planet could spell "leprechaun" correctly if you asked them. I'm one of them. That leprechaun is the second. She wrote the skit. Leprechaun is a spelling demon.
53 Most people I know have trouble spelling "restaurant."
54 When I was young, I decided early that I would master both those words, just to impress other people later in life.
55 Over the years it has become one of my favorite hat tricks.
56 When you major in English, this kind of thing amuses you. It's sort of like those guys you run across every now and then who pull a pack of cards out of their pocket and say, "Pick a card." They always do something like say, "Put it back." And then you do. And then they say, "Go over to that trash can and look inside."
57 And you know darned well it's going to be in a Solo cup in the trash or something.
58 You wander over, look in, and see a Solo cup with the Jack-of-Spades in it, or whatevs.
59 And the guy gives you a wry smile and a sly wink.
60 I usually say, "Yeah? Spell 'leprechaun,' bitch! "
61 Nah. I don't say bad words. You know that. I am of high moral stature.
62 Anybody looking?
63 Time to bounce. I hope some hot oatmeal went through your nose this day.
64 Have a GREAT weekend.
65 See you again.
66 Peace.
