These things happen when I can't sleep, unfortunately this time I can't sleep on the flipside. So instead of being up until 8AM, I'm up at 8AM. I guess this will get me in practice for eventually going back to work, whenever that's going to happen. At least I can just sit here at my desk (and eventually, I will probably move back to the bed) and watch the snow come down. Maybe I'll make myself some hot chocolate.

Discussions over at kd's place have somehow gone into how people can tie a cherry stem into a knot with their tongues. Unfortunately, I am not blessed with such talent. However, I used to be able to completely unwrap a Starburst candy in my mouth in less than 10 seconds, though I'm out of practice.

I suppose it should also be noted that I do not listen to NPR. Non-commercial radio just doesn't do it for me. Not that I like commercials, because I don't, but I just don't like their style or all the talking. If I want witty banter, I'll turn the station to one of my favorite DJs. (I feel like I've just stepped into the boundaries of a Monty Python sketch. "Sorry, chap, I just don't understand your banter...") Banter is another one of those words that makes me scratch my head and wonder how it came to be in the English language.
