GAF: Groggy as ....

Another slow to rise morning after ManRay. Lots of drinking before hand at a friends house, then off to the club to wish a friend a happy birthday. I can't remember the last time the club was so full. And of people I knew! Visitors from out of town, friends who never come on Wednesday, a massive contingent of list people. And the music was above average too. There was never any problems finding something to dance to, or conversations to be had. The funniest part of the night was talking to Reuben while the birthday girl walked up to say hi. Reuben reeled off balance while greeting her, and kicked the drink out of her hand. I nearly fell over laughing.
This morning is a little rough though. The mind votes for more sleep, and is in serious over thinking mode. This will come as a surprise to none of you. The body is in pretty good shape, but a little sore and aching. It also casts it vote for more sleep. The spirit... well it's vote is in question. If you even believe in the spirit. The restlessness is still there, but so is the need for comfort, and human contact. Hmm. This entry could start to wander down all too familiar paths, so I will wrestle it to the side of the road and rest. If you must over think something, at least do it when you are well rested. Wise words for all of us.

Amusing in an unsettling way

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Week of January 24, 2002

There's an old fable about a scorpion that gets a frog to ferry her across a river, promising not to sting him. Halfway across, the scorpion stings the frog anyway. "Why did you do that?" asks the frog. "Now we'll both drown." "I can't help it," says the scorpion. "I'm a scorpion. I was born to sting." Alas, that's the way the tale ends in its original form. Let's hope that by telling you this tale, I have helped prevent you from carrying it out in real life. (P.S. In the modern version of the story, how about if we make it so the scorpion refrains from stinging until reaching the other side, where she finds a video game that allows her to sting a thousand virtual bad guys?)

Oof

I know what this day needs.
Gridlock, Dowload, and Doubting Thomas on the stereo.
A pile of people lounging on my bed, just talking and resting together.
