Monday
*urk* I did not sleep well last night. It took a while for me to finally drift off… and I kept waking up at random intervals. “A good night’s sleep?” Not last night.

This morning, I woke up to snow. Whoop-de-fuck. As of this month, I’ve been in Utah for six years. You would think that I’d be used to “early snow” by now. I am. But, that still doesn’t supercede 28 years of “snow doesn’t show up until late November, IF you get snow before January.” Welcome to the beginning of Utah’s eight months of winter.

and I went to Jitterbug Coffee Hop for coffee and drawing time. We walked in a few seconds behind a couple of kids (a brother and sister) who had just gotten out of school. We went to put our bags down near the sofa and the little boy looked at us (with that “Uh-oh… I’m in trouble” look that kids get when you’ve caught them with their hands in the cookie jar) and said: “We aren’t going to get anything. My sister had to use the bathroom.” Nyx and I were amused and stunned. So, I looked at the boy and asked him,”You’re not going to buy anything?” He looked at me and said, “No,” as his sister came out of the restroom and they collected their things and exited the shop. It was quite cute… and very unexpected.

Jess, Nyx and I went to Chili’s for dinner. We then swung by to pick up and came home for Poker Night. Jess won, Nyx and I tied for second, Nox and tied for fourth.

    This morning, she posted the URL to this. I watched the “Album Edit” and then the “Radio Edit.” Both versions made me laugh. Quite a bit. Then, like some viral infection, I passed the URL on to the IRC masses. And now, to you…
