Exhausted humor

Daylight Savings Time kicks my ass. It does every year. It exhausts me. I can't get to sleep when I should. I can't wake up when I should. Or I don't sleep at all for three days, and then the fog takes me.

That's where I am now. In the fog. The thick, thick fog.

One of the things I do these days, about every other week, is go through my Friends List and see who's picked me up. It's this thing. This thing I do. Because I like to know. And when someone's picked me up, I often will pick them back up. It just seems polite. (It's not 100%, but still.)

And I was going through the list today, and clicked over to the bio of one of the new readers, and this jumped out at me:

"Technical Editor: By day I translate Engineer into English for a large company."

My brain, fogbound as it is, immediately came back with "and by Night... I am AGENT-J!"

Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.

This is where my brain is right now.

On the plus side, I've gotten some INCREDIBLY EXCITING POTENTIAL RPG NEWS I literally can't talk about because, Dude. NDA, if it even becomes a go. But needless to say, it's a happy fog.

Heh.

Something tells me you're going to get Friended by a lot of people in the next couple of days.

I was in a happy fog the other night myself. I felt really relaxed and just hoovered half a barrel a pretzels, three swiss cake rolls,and half a roll of chips ahoy. Also we were analyzing Batman: The Animated Series. I came to an interesting conclusion.

There were two things that were always major questions in BTAS.
1) Why are Batmans Shoulders so goddamned huge?
2) Why does his cape instantly regenerate every time it gets riddled with bullets?

Deep questions, bever before had I thought that they were related. Notice the jagged edges at the base of Batman's cape? Those aren't for style. Those are perforated edges. Every time he yanks off his cape, he can pull out a new one... from the Automatic Cape Disepenser hidden in his shoulders!

Huh? Huuuuuh?

By day it's an ordinary tuna casserole, but at night it becomes...

Oh, you people in America catch on soooo late. We had daylight savings lag a week before you peasants.

We also get Dr. Who. Yes, truly the marks of advanced civilization.

Last year somebody tried to pass a law that would make it Daylight Savings Time all year long. The motion failed, I like to think due to Doctor-esque machinations to preserve the timestream.

I am that Technical Editor. Alas, I don't get the "AGENT-J" bit. Please explain?

By night I write weird porn.

Out of curiosity, what does friends mean when you get to the point where you have over 200 people on your friends list? It would be pretty much impossible to actually keep up with reading all of those, so I imagine you probably have the list cut up into groups only some of which you check with regularity. Is it something like that? It's one of the things about livejournal etiquette that I haven't figured out yet.

Incidentally, "didn't sleep at all for three days" is something you should /tell your webthing/ before she /keeps you up late/ and /complains at you/.

Nyquil, it isn't just for breakfast anymore.

Gah! Totally off topic, but I just added you with the wrong journal - I'll be defriending from this one and putting you on my proper one, [livejournal.com profile] friendpersonpat

Woo! You read my LJ now.


Actually, do you actually read each of them, actually? Or do you actually...not, actually?
