the flip side

sometimes, you wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time getting back to sleep.

other times, you sleep right through the alarm -- i have no idea how long my alarm goes off if i don't hit the snooze (obviously), but i suspect it's a little while, and today i woke up two hours later.

guess i needed it badly.  GOOD NEWS, though:  the phonology tutorial i thought was tomorrow at 10 is actually tuesday at 11, because tomorrow is a bank holiday.  this means i will have time to read the articles i didn't get to yesterday before the library closed, because the library will be open tomorrow (which it isn't always on bank holidays), huzzah, huzzah.  i could dance and sing!  (and have a little more of my sunday to myself!  whee!)

this is the part where i declare war on everything

why in the name of whatever deity you choose is the world full of three-quarter sleeves these days?  wtf, ladies?! -- are people, like, encouraging this?!  i want long sleeves, dammit, and i can roll them up if i want them to be 3/4 length!  (i want long sleeves with french cuffs, actually, but i'm prepared not to get too grabby.)

GRAR.

came home just now and noticed, through the window in the kitchen door, that there was a pot on the stove.  things being how they are, i went in to make sure it was not in the process of boiling dry, exploding eggs, etc.

pot was empty, and the burner it was sitting on wasn't on -- but the burner behind it, which had nothing on it, was on max.  [facepalm]
